Wii Fit finally gets a US launch this week - for once Europe got a big game first - with reports suggesting high demand for Nintendo's innovative balance board. The game has battled with GTA IV for chart supremacy since release and assuming stock supply holds up I can see it outselling Take Two's epic in the long run. But I am beginning to wonder how much use the board will get once the novelty wears off. A few weeks in and my copy is already beginning to gather dust. I picked it up last night for the first time in 10 days and can't see myself rushing back too quickly. Any novelty in the Howson household has definitely worn off.
Like exercise bikes, dumbells and dodgy celebrity weight loss DVDs the Wii Fit requires willpower. Having said that I'm not sure I'm the right audience anyway. Wii Fit is not the first thing I think of after a long run or gym workout. For sedentary Wii owners though, Fit will definitely help, at least with flexibility. And kids will enjoy too, though they'd probably best ignore those BMI figures. But for me? Once a week at best. Probably. So, anyone here still regularly using their Wii Fit?
