Wii Fit Girl Rides Again

Posted January 22, 2010 by David Radd

The “Wii Fit Girl” phenomenon on YouTube is over two years old, first coming out in 2007. Still, this didn't stop Daniel Tosh from interviewing the most famous virtual hula-hoop player on the planet, Lauren Bernat, in a recent episode of his show Tosh.0.

This is the sort of viral promotion that we're sure Nintendo loves for the Wii Fit. It's helped keep the system sales consistent while Wii Fit's gone on to become one of the best selling games of the decade and appear twice on the charts for 2009.
