The Nintendo Wii has revolutionised the gaming world with it's fantastic infrared control and superb interactive game play. As of September 30, 2008, Wii sales have reached an incredible 34.55 million. Last Christmas it was the most difficult product, in the market, to get your hands on and many people were left dissappointed on Christmas morning. There is more chance of getting your hands on one this year, however it is believed there may be another shortage!
The Wii has many fantastic games available, the latest Wii craze being the Wii Fit game. This is an exercise game consisting of activities utilising the Wii Balance Board peripheral.
The balance board measures a user's weight and center of gravity and the software can then calculate the user's body mass index when told of his or her height. The game has roughly 40 different activities, including yoga poses, push ups, and other exercises. Furthermore, Wii Fit allows its players to compare their fitness by using Wii Fit's own channel on the Wii Menu. The game tracks a user's "Wii Fitness Age" through a body test basing the result on the user's current age, weight, and balance. Like the rest of the Wii Series, Wii Fit integrates Mii's into its presentation and gameplay.
Due to the popularity of this game, many places are currently sold out. I have added links to various merchant websites that do get the Wii Fit in quite regularly, but due to the popularity sell out extremely fast, so keep persevering!
To see what the Wii Fit is all about, take a look at the video below. If you already know what it's all about and simply want the game, go to the bottom of the page or to our 'Our Merchants' page .
