Wii Fit

[thelocaluk]

The active-play phenomenon started by Wii Sports now spreads to your whole body thanks to the pressure-sensitive Wii Balance Board (name not final), which comes packed with Wii Fit. The board is used for an extensive array of fun and dynamic activities, including aerobics, yoga, muscle stretches and games. Many of these activities focus towards providing a “core” workout, a popular exercise method that emphasizes slower, controlled motions. Family members will have fun staying active and talking about and comparing their results and progress on a new channel on the Wii Menu.

A video of WiiFit in action can be found here (http://uk.gamespot.com/video/942009/6174496/wii-fit-video-feature-1)

[thelocaluk]

Thanks for that vid.....now I know its not for me lol

[ben93]

what do u mean its not 4 u!!! it looks awesome, come on, have nintendo ever let you down on on a game like that? seriously

[alibombaye]

Looks abit boring to me... I think after an hour I'd be bored... If you wanna get fit get out and run...or go to a gym...

[Fr@nk$t@]

This looks exciting for me, it will probably be another Wii revolution unless it an complete fail. :)

[huzzellio]

I think it'll be good although I would need to work out faster than these guys in the video. I suspect I shall be getting this one.

[Wii Spark]

After watching that vid, which makes it look like fun as well as hard work, I might not bother with it.

Correction, GF's just seen the vid, she wants to buy it!!!
Since the Wii came out shes never been so interested in vid games.
Wonder when it's released over here?

[ben93]

it looks really fun, how can u all be so miserable

[huzzellio]

At least it's cheaper and more fun than a gym membership. My wife wants it too.

[thelocaluk]

lol...I hope my misses doesn't catch wind of this game, otherwise thats another £50 out of my pocket :rolleyes:

[huzzellio]

Too late, I've already emailed her the details lol;)

[ben93]

i was gonna say that!! lol

[ben93]

any1 gt any idea of a release date for this?

[Fr@nk$t@]

I got a feeling this will probably come out next year.

[ben93]

aww, shame really

[Wii Spark]

Don't know if this should be here or the videos thread in the lounge...

clicky (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_iYBmAVuBns)

But I thought it was funny.

[thelocaluk]

ROFLMAO.....thats great and its all so true:)

[alibombaye]

LOL... That video is funny and so true... I'll stand around without buying that waste of space... as u can proabably tell I'm not convinced by the wii fit...

[suze]

I want one, and I hope its out for Christmas then it can go on my pressie list.

Suze

[ben93]

shameful alibombaye..shameful, the whole point of the wii was to try new things, you cant slate it much without playing it

[alibombaye]

Just seems like a bit of a scam to me at the moment... jumping on the healthy bandwagon.... From the trailer it looks a bore and the trailers usually show the best bits... the trailer really makes me cringe... specially the couple dancing... arrrrgghhhh

I am ready to eat humble pie... if this does turn out entertaining... but I doubt it...

[ben93]

it looks good to me, but thats probably cos im younger, it looks like 1 to watch, itll be a must buy if nintendo can keep the price down

[thelocaluk]

Wii Fit Arrives in Japan and here's a great article on the game that may convince you to buy it :D

[Junior]

Nice article.
I still don't understand why it's going to bee £50. I won't be able to get that anytime in the year. I know the board must cost alot but still don't seee why its £50.

So they may aswell sell Wii Music for £30.

[ben93]

its the hardware junior, the wireless guitar is why guitare hero 3 is so much

[D.Fr@nk$t@]

i think ill buy this if they make other games that use the board like say 1080

Just thought id share this with you :) No interest in the product, just seen it on nintendowiifanboy though.

[Fr@nk$t@]

Wii Fit will be released here on 25th April announced NoE today, woop and before the U.S....

[thelocaluk]

April you say, thats a month earlier than anticapated....cool

[ben93]

wow we get something b4 us, shame it aint brawl

[thelocaluk]

Wii Fit to cost £69.99, thats the headline here>> (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/29756/Wii-Fit-to-cost-6999)

[huzzellio]

Hmmmm, perhaps priced slightly too high (just). I'll still get this as long as the game itself is good.

Luckily for me the misses has asked for this as her b'day present, think she's worth £70 quid for all the cooking, washing, iron and nappy changing she has to do.....and living with me :D

[Junior]

£70!!! AHH gosh i cant spend that money on one game.

Sigh Ebay time.

[munkle]

Overly expensive! But that's about a weeks worth of takeaway money for me, so I'll just go without pizza :p

That's another good thing about the balance board, with both hands free we can eat whilst we play! lol!

[kimpossible08]

Omg, i'll soon have no money left!! :(

[karatiekid]

Nintendos turning the Wii into a fitness machine!:o If people wanna get fit hows about taking a jog:p

[Wii Spark]

Whattttt, £70.00, that's a weeks worth of incapacity benefit. (I've come off it now, & back in the land of paying taxes again, :-D )

I know Gail was looking forward to this coming out, but I don't know about spending so much on 1 game. I'll wait for the reviews after release, and make my mind up then.

Wonder if the balance board will be used for other games though, then it could be worthwhile.

Apparently, Reggie Fils-Aimes (or whatever he's bladdy called) has confirmed that there are ten games in development that will utilise the balance board. Rumour-mongers are suggesting another installment in the 1080 series, which would pretty much rock.

[Wii_Owner_now]

£70 sounds like a bargain if it's got 40 games/mini games

Much cheaper the joining a gym that you would only visit for a month but would be charged for the whole year

ordered mine on the 12th March and looking forward to getting in on the 25th, think it will be the biggest seller this year and didn't want to risk waiting two months after the release date to get it if it outsells demand as the wii hasn't really come down in price over the last year i don't think the Wiifit will either

[ben93]

onm gave it 91% in their review

[Junior]

It really looks prettty cool aand fun. I'm actually thinking of buying it.

[ben93]

orr you could tell ure mum bout it and hope shell buy it for u ;)

[Junior]

Yeah true I'll tell her about the yoga part.

[huzzellio]

I shall definitely be buying this! Need to actually get my hands on a copy of Mario Kart before I get this though.

[thelocaluk]

[Junior]

Just to let everyone know(and to go back on topic)Wii Fit will also hav a channel like MK wii.

As i posted in the bargins thread a while back. Tesco (http://www.tesco.com/entertainment/product.aspx?R=849076&bci=4|Games) were taking pre-orders for the Wii fit for £59.97 plus free delivery. Unfortunatly they must have sold their allocation.
