Nintendo does the unthinkable and releases a sequel to their super-selling exergaming phenomenon! Wii Fit Plus is its name and Nintendo announces that it will be ready for sale this fall...in Japan, that is. Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, during her presentation on the E3 stage referred to Wii Fit as a gaming platform. Well, it looks like that's how Nintendo is approaching the Wii Balance Board and its incidental gaming applications.
Wii Fit Plus is heavier on the customization than the original with the ability to set playlists of exercises in order to find a specific workout routine for the player. More yoga and strength training exercises are added not to mention 15 new balance games including skateboarding, juggling, a math game where you bump numbers with your hips to make a count, and even a first-person perspective Super Mario Bros.-like platformer to move through. Interested? Well the NEW Wii Fit will be for sale in Balance Board bundled format AND game solo format for Board owners. Get ready.
