I live in Canada and have no idea what pounds and feet are.  How do I change my version of Wii Fit to use metric (cm and kg) measurements?
Kudos!

I am aware that there is a conversion but I thought that multiplying numbers was something that software is really good at.  Why would this feature be missing in this game?

NOA_TECH_ZEKE,

could you confirm that having my country on Canada should make my in-game units cm and Kg?

Hi Watakana,

If you change your language to French or Spanish the in-game data will display using the metric system.

"If you change your language to French or Spanish the in-game data will display using the metric system."

Instead of making blanket assumptions about what measurement system a user prefers based on their nationality and language, why not allow the user to specify their measurement system preference explictly, regardless of their location or language?

NOA_TECH_ZEKE,

Thanks for the response.  I am disappointed that the units are based on language, but glad you cleared that up.  Is there somehow that I can return this game directly to Nintendo? (the store obviously won't accept an open packaged game)  I no longer feel that I will be able to use it.  The whole point is to measure myself but the units it displays in are either a language I can't read, or in a set of units that don't mean much to me.
Kudos!

I have to agree that it's kind of weird that it wasn't included as an option. You're forcing people to use a language they don't know, just so they can use the measurement units they're used to?
Kudos!

I am bumping this hoping to get a response from one of the NOA reps regarding my last post.
Kudos!
