Posted September 18, 2013 This is a really interesting idea. There was no way I was going to purchase this at retail but as an 'upgrade' to Wii Fit I'm very likely to buy it. Having a digital copy is a much better idea anyway, it's finally what Nintendo were trying to do with the Wii Fit Channel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2013 I think this is a good idea from Nintendo. How much is the game with balance board going to cost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2013 Ironically I can't be bothered to bring my Balance Board down to London because it weighs SO DAMN MUCH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2013 November 1st is really creepily good timing for me! I only just got back into playing Wii Fit Plus over the last month (lost around 13 kilos!), so this comes at the perfect time for me! I am SO in for that download version with the Activity Meter! Stupidly good bargain! (and if the mini games are just as fun as the last two, they'll be worth the price of entry alone ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 19, 2013 I really enjoyed the first two... for the first month. So I guess I'll enjoy the initial free trial of this and then become a lazy shit again :p But nah, seriously, Wii Fit had some amazing minigames. I love the marching one!

I became addicted to that ball balancing one and that floating bubble one (total bastard of a game that one is! Fucking tough as nails!). The chicken suit game is also a good laugh (it wasn't until Pilotwings SNES came out on the VC did I realise that it was actually a semi-remake of one of its bonus stages!)

Posted September 19, 2013 The chicken suit game is also a good laugh (it wasn't until Pilotwings SNES came out on the VC did I realise that it was actually a semi-remake of one of its bonus stages!)The first time I played that game was an amazing moment for me. My impressions from the Wii Fit Plus thread: Another game I must mention is the flying chicken one, it makes you look like an absolute buffoon, but is such a great laugh and a truly bizarre experience the first time you play it. There's something about it that feels kind of entrancing, although that might just be down to me being a big fan of Pilotwings. But yeah, when I started playing it I suddenly thought back to 15 years ago and playing the bonus game on the SNES version of Pilotwings, then I snapped out of the daydream and realized that I was actually flapping my arms like a bird to control what is basically exactly the same game, I was like "wow, this is completely mental!" It seriously made me think about how far gaming has come. I know that's probably going to be hilarious to some people on here, but that's genuinely how I felt. Can't wait to see all of the new activities in Wii Fit U. Are all of the ones from the original/Plus still included too? I really love the juggling game, it never fails to make me laugh.

Posted September 24, 2013 Has anywhere got the Fit Meter available for pre-order yet? No sign of them on Amazon or ShopTo, just the bundle with the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 24, 2013 Not seen it yet. The retail version with the Meter seems to be around £40 - £50 at the minute so £20 for the Meter + free digital version is a pretty good deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 24, 2013 Not seen it yet. The retail version with the Meter seems to be around £40 - £50 at the minute so £20 for the Meter + free digital version is a pretty good deal. Isn't it €20? So shouldn't it actually be cheaper in the UK? (something within £14.99-£17.99) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 9, 2013 @RedShell Amazon has them up now for £19.99 each. Black Red Green Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2013 £19.99 to be able to play the full game forever and have an activity meter seems like a pretty great deal to me I haven't bought anything since New Super Luigi U but deals such as this and Wii Sports Club are enticing me to part with a little money.. but they'll be well worth it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2013 £19.99 is a total rip for the UK, since it's $19.99 and €19.99 elsewhere, but you know what? The free game offer is such a stonkingly amazing deal anyway, that I don't really mind the unfair exchange rate in this case. It's still an amazing deal! (I suppose it's karma for the fantastic exchange rate we got for Ace Attorney Dual Destinies - where the UK pays a pitiful £19.99 ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2013 When is this out? Here in The Netherlands I've only seen some sites advertising the package deal but nowhere have I seen the standalone Fit Meter yet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 11, 2013 When is this out? Here in The Netherlands I've only seen some sites advertising the package deal but nowhere have I seen the standalone Fit Meter yet... Trial version is out on the eShop 1st November, it's free for one month. If you buy the meter you unlock the full version. The meter is £20/20EUR so if you already have the balance board then that's the total cost of getting the full game. Retail version is out 6th December which currently cost £49.99 on Amazon. That's for the game + meter After the trial period of the eShop version it becomes the full version at normal price which ends at the end of January. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 1, 2013 Hmm... This is still unavailable to download on eShop. It just says Release: 01/11/2013. You'd think being based in Germany would improve efficiency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Wäre das nicht ein Nintendo-Spiel, ohne ein paar mehr Verspätungen Das ist wahr. Oh well, at least I can mess around on Google translate during the wait. :p And... it's up. You were spot on Dcubed, again.

Posted November 1, 2013 Never doubt German efficiency BTW it's 4.6GB for anyone wondering (hope you cleaned your fridge! -or better yet, got a bigger one) It's weird, I'm both looking forward to it and not at the same time. I know it's gonna be fun, but I've been slacking on exercise and diet recently, so I'm scared to see how much I've let myself go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 1, 2013 Bloody hell, took 2 hours to download! I can download a similar amount of data from Steam or the PlayStation Store in under 40 minutes. Now the install is going at snail's pace too... Glad I don't download very much from the eShop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
