Wii Fit Finally Making its Way to the US

 

It looks like Nintendo has its work cut out for it, and a few extra lawyers on retainer. Last month we told you that Nintendo was toying with the idea of bringing their popular Wii Fit to the US and now it looks like a firm date has been set. The Fit will officially find its way to US soil on Monday, May 19. Nintendo also announced that it will be releasing the unit in Europe a few weeks prior to the US release on Friday, April 25. We’re not sure exactly what preparations Nintendo has made in order to ready the Wii Balance Board for the Western world, but initial speculation was that it may in fact have to do with upping the 300 lb weight limit found on the current model. Are they calling us fat? Until more info is released, we’ll have to assume that the 300 lb limit will still apply to the US model. That gives you exactly three months to work your way back down to your slender college weight so that you can hop on the Balance Board without crushing it like the Cloverfield monster.

    Hey veks don’t forget mario cart

    So 300 pounds is the limit but does that take in how much weight you exert. Meaning, if you weigh 200 pounds, when you play, are you going to be putting off another 20, 30 pounds or what.

    I think the better question is, if I can’t find a Wii anywhere without paying some sort of ridiculous price for a bundle, then what is the point of the Wii Fit

    from what ive been told it’s a decent party system BU if your plying games by yourself it blows becaus thers only 5 tittles that mak it wirth buying he rest of it is shovelware which means unless it gets some real tittles it’s going to to go the route of the N64 also to note that the wii dosn’t suport online multiplayer at al unlie the 360 an the delaystation3
