Wii Fit available now

I had an amazing sense of Déjà vu, reading about Nintendo’s latest product – Wii Fit. With multiple sites reporting the launch is about to happen (May 21st), I was certain I’d seen it already on sale in Australia.

Yep, I did. Amazing Australia actually received a product before the US. This wouldn’t seem like such a big deal if this was a regular occurrence, however the years of being on the trailing edge of releases from technology companies has pre-programmed us aussie’s to expect things later rather than sooner.

So props to Nintendo for finally giving us a break and releasing the Wii Fit here first.

As for the game, it looks like something I’d try out, but would quickly loose motivation, so I’ll skip on buying this one.

well, I actually bought one for the Mrs. – and have been on and off it since. More than she has, anyway. It’s quite clever and has some great potential for wider uses – especially in conjunction with the other wii controllers.

Putting aside the fact that it tells me I’m too overweight, I really think this might be a reason to not let the wii gather more dust.

find one, and give it a try

Hahah.. I had the same deja vu also. Like M@ we bought a Wii Fit also, it’s actually really cool, a lot of fun, and I have a feeling (sore abs) that it does actually work..

I’ll be doing a review on my blog this coming weekend.

The positive: we get it two weeks early.
The negative: we pay a $60 (60%) premium. Thanks Nintendo.
