Update: Wii Fit on sale in Europe on April 25th, US on May 19th.
I, for one, cannot wait until people start complaining that their warranties were voided because their....roundness led to the annihilation of their Balance Board.
Those lawsuits will be delicious.
I *love* the American legal system. Better than cable, you cannot make this stuff up.
You know that Square are developing something on wiiware right...?
Might actually be quite successful.
o PLEASE O PLEASE let them create a snowboarding game that uses this and the wiimote to do the tricks!!! AHHHHHHHH you couldnt have a better platform to do it on. sure its ment for being fit, but think of the possibilities!!!!! (it makes me excited for what can be)
um...have you tried out SSX:blur? it does exactly that
really?? huh no shit damn well im glad they followed my advice!! lol
Well, SSX Blur obviously doesn't use the Balance Board, but it does use the wiimote for the tricks and it works beautifully despite all the negative reviews written by impatient, uncoordinated people. That is still one of my all time favorite Wii games. I really hope they make another SSX game for the Wii and improve on the mechanics even more.
well then im still not satisfied i want that board to be the snowboard... i guess jared didnt get what i was thinking... his loss
I always see these stocked up in the stores. I wonder how they'll do in the U.S. The commercials show various fitness routines and some Yoga, for obvious reasons, but it did show some hula-hoop type game and I think a skiing simulation. They sell for ¥8800 here. (About $80 U.S.)
Ummm, Wii Fit has sold over a million units here in Tokyo, if you actually live here. It smoked Super Mario Galaxy even. I see people walking home with the Wii Fit box in hand all the time.
And I've tried it at a friend's house, it's fun, but for how long? Who knows.
Wait... wait...
You mean to tell me that Europe is getting something before us..?
...
*HEAD EXPLODES*
Ummm, did you see that funny "Y" symbol with the lines? That stands for "Yen".
As in, "Japanese Yen"...
Uhh... what?
The Square game is Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King. It should be available at launch (5/19), along with platformer LostWinds (by Frontier) and an as-yet-untitled episodic series by TellTale.

I wonder why it took so long to get it here in the US.
It's been out in Japan for "long-time".
I hope the fat kid down the street from me gets one of these. I mean, damn!
I........Want..........Wii.........Fit.....
I Love Wii Fit http://www.t3l3.net/nintendo-wii-fit/
