QUOTE NEW YORK (Reuters) - Games maker Nintendo Co is planning to launch a new physical fitness product called Wii Fit for U.S. shipping in May, according to the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday. The Wii Fit will come with a weight-and-motion sensing device called the Wii Balance Board, according to the report. Nintendo is also planning to launch a new online service in the U.S. in May called WiiWare that will allow game publishers to distribute new titles over the Internet directly to users instead of on discs. A Nintendo spokesperson was not immediately available for comment. think this is gonna do any good? |

Its suppose to be really good aparently. You can reserve it for 10 bucks down and guaranteed one when it comes out.
Anyway, its one of the number one games in Japan right now for the wii, I think it will do really good in the US, and a lot of people have been wanting it to hit the US. It has yoga and other things with it. The wii system is the most interactive system out, I think it was a good idea for them to make a game like this. Everyone loves wii sports, and they even had fitness tests on it. |

As a parent, I LOVE this concept, not just for my son but for me as well. I personally loathe gyms and this makes for potential mom and kid time while sort of working out at the same time. It's also great during periods of cold weather, when going to the park seems like such travesty.

Beccs, I love your absolute anticipation of the product for some reason lol. I will definitely be getting this when it comes out. It will give me a chance to bond with my brother, who is a Wii aficionado.
