Wii Fit - How not to design an interface

My roommate got a Wii Fit last week, so of course we have been playing it. Unfortunately, the interface was not well designed. The main problem is that it takes way too many "A" clicks to start playing a game. For example, to play the ski jump game, you must:

1. Select the ski jump game from the balance menu (this is fine and expected)
2. Choose your level/confirm that you want to play the game (this is also reasonable)
3. Click "A" to clear the message about not jumping on the balance board (I suppose they should have this)
4. Click "A" to say that you are ready (not sure what the purpose of this is)
5. Click "A" again to actually start
6. Put the WiiMote down
7. Play the game, once
8. Pick the WiiMote back up
9. See your score and push "A" to continue (this is reasonable)
10. See your ranking and push "A" to continue (also reasonable)
11. Choose whether you want to replay the game or quit (fine and to be expected)

So, in order to start the game you must click "A" five times! However, only three of the clicks actually do anything useful as far as the user is concerned. For the complete game cycle, you must push "A" eight times! And there is no way to skip any of them. It would have been nice to be able to skip directly from step 8 to step 11 once the game finishes (by pushing a button(s)), especially if you know you did horribly and all you want to to is replay the game.

To be fair, if you choose to replay the game, they start you at step 4. Also, it is really only the balance and aerobic games that are this bad. Nevertheless, Nintendo could have done a much better job designing the interface.
