Wii Fit

Nintendo Wii Fit


Another exciting Nintendo Wii concept will hit Australian stores when the Wii Fit launches locally next month.

Opening a whole new meaning for the term 'exergaming', the Wii Fit video game comes bundled with the innovative Wii Balance Board - a pressure sensitive, wireless balance board that senses weight and shift in balance in any direction. This means that when standing on the Wii Balance Board during activities allows players to follow along to movements ensuring they have full control of the on-screen activities.

The Wii Balance Board can also measure a user's weight and their centre of gravity, and calculate their body mass index when told the user's height!

The fun games included on the Wii Fit disc are split into four training categories including Aerobic Exercises, Muscle Workouts, Yoga and Balance Games that will help you and your family to develop bodily balance control ability, burn fat in the body, help tone and condition muscles, as well as help increase aerobic stamina.

In all, there will be over 40 different activities for you to choose from under the aforementioned four training categories and they are Hula Hoop™, Ski Jump, Press-up Challenge, Rhythm Boxing, Rowing Squat, Lunge and classic Yoga poses such as Half Moon, Tree, Crocodile Twist and many, many more!

The Wii Fit and Balance Board has already shipped millions of units in Japan since its launch late last year and now it'll be the turn for Aussie gamers to experience this funky gadget. The Wii Fit bundle pack will be available in stores from May 8 priced at $149.95.

I hear it is suprisingly good for reducing the flab. I know my junk in my trunk needs reduction. What price is good? I see Dick Smith has it for $134.
