Nintendo announced a new fitness game for the Wii last year at E3. Titled Wii Fit, the game will include an ultra-sensitive balance board which serves as the game’s main controller. Using the balance board, the game features plenty of aerobic exercises, yoga, strength training, mini-games and even boxing with the Wiimote and nunchuck add-on.
Wii Fit is meant to get families up and active in their living rooms. It will keep track of activities for every one and give reports on how each person is doing. For each activity or exercise, the game gives detailed instructions on how to perform the task and how not to cause injury. Personally, I’m excited about Wii Fit. It seems to be more like an interactive personal trainer and less like a gimmick. The wireless board included with the game is top of the line and people using it have plenty of good things to say about it. The game was released in Japan on December 1, 2007, and had a lot of success. The game will hit states-side on May 19, 2008. Wii Fit’s E3 2007 trailer is shown below. Here’s to your fitness.
