Wii Fit Activities Breakdown

[expatter]

Being an avid pre-purchase researcher, I thought that some of you might like to have a breakdown of the activities. I've unlocked all but one. I've included BRIEF descriptions of any that wouldn't make sense otherwise.

If you want to be surprised when you get it DON'T READ ANY FURTHER!

Hope this helps!

That sounds great! I think I'll pre-order it. Quick question - what do you mean when you say you've "unlocked" them?

 

[expatter]

When you first install the Balance Board, each section has a few "unlocked" games. As you spend more time using the board, or as your proficiency increases in a certain activity, either different levels of that activity or different games are then unlocked.

I've maybe put in about five or so hours in the last week and at least have all of the activities unlocked, if not the more difficult levels.

How did you manage to snag a copy before it's even out??? It doesn't come out here until May 21st or something!!!

I think she lives overseas, where it's already been released.

It does sound like a fun game, and I heard that Nintendo is developing other games that will use the balance board, so it is probably a worthwhile investment for Wii owners. I might have to pre-order....

 

[allwildgirl]

That's so unfair!

Emily, I'm pre-ordering, so you should too. And btw, I need your Wii # so we can play online

Actually, I'm in Germany and it released here on 4/25.

It's just about the first time I haven't been jealously, um, I mean anxiously, waiting for something that my siblings had/saw months before me!

I am considering pre-ordering. This looks like fun.

Shelly, where can I pre-order from?

Thanks

 

[allwildgirl]

Debbie - I'm going to pre-order from EB Games.

 

[tygra]

sounds like fun - does anyone know what the cost will be?

 

[allwildgirl]

From what I can see, it's going to be $89.99.
