Is your body ready?
Wii Fit was a phenomenal success on Wii, and Nintendo is aiming to bring keen exercise-enthusiasts to Wii U. Wii Fit U will make use of the GamePad on occasion, and the good-old Wii Balance Board will get more living room time.
There's some new exercises, of course, and the GamePad will also be used to carry on with the game when the TV is being used for other things, a big part of the Wii U concept.
You know Reggie's ready, are you?

I hope U can update plus or the original to get U minigames
They should let you use the 3DS' pedometer.
I'm a gamer from the sNES era and I can honestly say Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus are my most played games ever! Insta-buy this. I don't know if u can update Wii data onto wIiU
Not sure to get this or the Nike kinect thing.
I just finished a mocha shake from Arby's while reading this. haha
Time to drop this 10lbs. I put back on recently.
I have to hide this story from my wife, the WiiU should be MINE, MY PRECIOUS!
LOL I can't believe he said it!!!
Wii Fit Plus gets used as part of my weekday fitness efforts at least three days a week, so I'm definitely going to be checking out any sequels. Glad to see a new Balance Board won't be required.
In fact I'm quite pleased with the restraint Nintendo is showing on new controller requirements. Basically it looks like all I need is what will be in the Wii-U box and everything I already own can be retained so I only need to buy software for it.
Reggie, "Yes, my body was ready"
@grimbldoo
LOL i didnt think he would actually say that
Pass on Wii Fit. I've got the gym.
An actual gym workout > Wii Fit.
But you know, It's fun for the whole family I guess.
I actually like the wii fit. I even play/workout with the active series when I just want to get a sweat w/o doing some serious exercise...
@ryanthehedgehog P90X > gym workout IMO
@arrmixer
Eh don't get the social aspect of p90x.
Anywho its best for me
In the morning use wii fit or nike kinect to warmup before running.
Go to the gyn later atnight.
When Iwata pulled out the pedometer I thought it was going to be the "Vitality Sensor". I wonder if that will come back.
Anyway, this looks great, but please Nintendo, consider allowing the WiiU to support two Balance Boards so people can work out together at the same time!
@Sony_70
I agree with you about p90x... I just like it because I can get a good workout at home.. honestly I'm tired of going to the gym.... love I can work out and not leave the house...
With the Wii u and can workout w/o the TV which is a plus as well..
IDK I may end up getting this: I like the idea of a Download fitness app on my WiiU, I just hope you can use your 3DS as a pedometer instead of having to buy the other one
