From what I've seen in the trailer, am rather annouyed that it seems to be mostly the exact same content, with new layout and a few extra mini games. Yeh i realise it wasn't gonn abe too different, but having everything that WII Fit had, means i've paid for the same game twice, if i got wii fit plus, what do i do with my wii fit disc?
sell ur wii fit disc on youtube or your locoal gameshop i guess
sorry i was thinking of youtube but i meant to say ebay...lol, u culd still sell it on youtube...i guess?
yeh but its expected to come with the balance board, shouldn't have to spend that much twice again
I have seen the trailer for Wii Fit Plus on my Wii on the Nintendo Channel, and it isn`t that different but I have Wii Fit, so I am not sure what I should do with it. I think it is a.. well a tad bit better because I like the new feature where you can let your dog in the Wii Fit Plaza, and I also think the games are gunna be fun too, but that butt- boping- ball game? Not really! I think that`s a little.. odd for Wii Fit Plus but! I like this body-helping- thing too. Wii Fit has made ME improve on my running, if ya don`t beleive me, DON`T! But I``m telling ya it`s TRUE! I SWARE!
I like the trailer but all I saw was the same EXACT game and a few extra mini games!! I mean, it has the EXACT SAME WII FIT PLAZA!! Except one JUST ONE!! Different feature! It isn`t that different to the regular original Wii Fit it also has the same excercises i mean really?! Why would they have that!? But the only difference to this whole "excercise" thing is that ya choose the thing yall wanna do, and you make some "list" of it! Hey, Kev Nash, I never knew it would come with the Wii Balance Board! WHAT?!?!?!?! THAT`S JUST BUYING THE SAME WHOLE GAME FOR $80 BUCKS IN AMERICA!!! AT COSTCO!!!!! (A STORE) HOW STUPID IS NINTENDO FOR HAVING THE SAME GAME WITH THE SAME BALANCE BOARD!?!? I GUESS MY MOM GUNNA HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER SCRATCH-FREE- GREEN PROTECTOR FOR THE HECK OF IT!!!
sorry for the hold up KevNash, i forgot all about this but anyway, i learnt that wii fit plus will be sold on its own and bundled with a balance board so it's ok. so if anyone bought wii fit alreddy they can just get wii fit plus...but what worries me is that all my achievements will be gone!
but i guess i can just do them all again...
i'm looking forward to the skateboarding game
i'm looking forward to the skateboarding game
maybe the'll sell it with or without the balence board if u know what i mean?
I for one am looking forward to it. I've pre-ordered the "game only"
Europe has now confirmed a release date for October 30, 2009. Australia gets the Wii Fit Plus release for October 15, 2009.
Got the update today. Love it. The best feature is the ability to make customized routines! The first Wii Fit really needed something like this.
I traded in my original wii fit game disc at gamestop-only got $4 for it, but that meant I only had to pay $16 to upgrade to wii fit plus, and it was well worth it! the 15 or so new games are fantastic! If you like the original I highly recommend upgrading to wii fit plus.
You`re right newlykate, I see alot of videos for Wii Fit Plus.
I am like, dying for it!! Mom says "Wait till Christmas."
And I`m like: "No!!!"
What can I do? Keep asking her?
I've been givin wii fit plus a good set of sessions today. Marvelous. It improves the original significantly and gives it that extra 50% more content. Also, the b.board mini games are generally pretty good and a decent challenge. I didn't know you could trade in the original wii fit disc w/o the b.board?
I've bn using the original wii fit very regularly since its release day, no pap. I'll continue this trend wii fit plus hopefully. The original's save file is adaptable onto this one. The originals data has merged with Plus'. Great!
To be honest I'm finding Wii Fit more fun than Wii Sports Resort.
We dig the Wii Fit and just upgraded to the Wii Fit Plus. My data transferred over and it is working fine. My wife's data transferred over but now her new data isn't posting to the data file. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a fix that will solve this problem?
Really fun!! but the skateboarding sucks and the yoga is lame!!but its still awesome!
an all around good game, besides the snowbording
