    Help! Do you know if any of the Wii Fit or Xbox Fitness games include avatars that get fitter or fatter depending on your activity?

        @avantgame The wii fit ones definitely do! The wii U one has a feature where you take pictures of your face for progress shots.

        @AmandaLKirk but the change is based on your real-world weight changes right, not accelerated and not based on your activity in the game?

        @avantgame there is no bonus for choosing the game over other forms of fitness. The game rewards you the same as part of the launch sequence

        Replying to @avantgame

        @avantgame IIRC, Wii Fit avatars only reflected your weight, not activity. (Although obviously, the two can correlate...)

        @KyleOrl @avantgame There is no avatar in Xbox Fitness. When you are in actual activities Kinect shows your silhouette on screen though!

        @mikeout @avantgame this, plus the change only happens there and does not transfer to other titles (though it would be investing in it did!)

        @avantgame yes for Wii Fit, sadly. Last I stepped on the balance board, my Mii looked like a garbage bag with a head on top.

        @avantgame For Xbox, I've never seen any with that type of tech. However, Ubisoft would use your actual body type in a silohette type avatar
