So it may seem odd that the very first thing you do in Wii Fit, an unconventional new game that goes on sale for $90 in the U.S. on May 19, is step on a scale and weigh yourself. I don't know about you, but weighing in each morning is not my idea of a good time. And it's certainly no fantasy...

Today, when I think about all the changes I’ve had in college—how I reverted to wearing loafers, the staple of my adolescence, sometime during sophomore fall; how junior year I once grimaced at the sight of my roommate wearing a T-shirt under...
