WiiSpeak isn't the kind of thing we can imagine selling in Wii Fit quantities, but it's getting hard to tell nowadays. Maybe the microphone add-on and Animal Crossing: City Folk will be overshadowed by the other big first-party release of November, and supplies will be plentiful, but why...
We think we've figured out Active Life: Outdoor Challenge's niche. We know it differs from the 800-pound gorilla of Wii exercise games, Wii Fit, in that it's more game-based and less pure exercise activities. It also has a bit of an "adventure" setting. It also features activities like jump...
We had the opportunity to test out Penguin United's latest accessory, and overall, it's as impressive as their DS products. The 4X Quad station may boast an extreme name, but it also looks good near the Wii and doesn't take up too much space. Charging four remotes at once is pretty nice, too, e...
Though Nintendo didn't close with a Jobs-esque "one more thing" slobberknocker, they accomplished what they set out to do. Yet dissatisfaction remains: the definitive description of Nintendo's E3 presence is a resounding meh. Here is a look at some of the most famous "mehs" in Nintendo h...
If sales figures for Wii Sports Resort wind up anywhere near what Wii Fit is pulling, we can rest assured that 3rd parties will be scrambling to throw support for the peripheral into their games. Whether it will be possible to make games that sort-of work without the attachment, and enhance...

Well, what are you to do? We've got a few ideas, some silly and some not-so. Some of the solutions are via...
To use the Balance Board with another controller, careful attention must be paid to the order in which the devices are synced to the computer. For other peripherals, we could get away with just naming them specifically (for example: Nunchuk.JoyX, but for the Balance Board, we need to add th...
20 seems like a lot to spend on an accessory for an accessory, but in the long run, rechargeable batteries are always worth it. It's a matter of personal preference whether you want to purchase a specialized unit for your Balance Board or just use rechargeable AAs, but it's certainly nice to...

Filed under: ReviewsAt long last, Wii Fit hit shelves in the U.S. this week, bringing with it the sleek new Balance Board. Seldom have I been so interested in a game; usually, one has something of an idea what to expect. But trying Wii Fit is an experience that videos just can't quite get across. Ho...

Perhaps you prefer video game exercise on a mat rather than a Balance Board, or perhaps there's room for two fitness-based games in your life; if either of these conditions apply, though, you'll have to wait a few months to pick up this title. Atari recently announced that the game will reac...

Replacing the Nunchuk and Wii Sports pack-ins with a Balance Board and Wii Fit could enhance the appeal for a new demographic. The cute Miis and perceived competitive rooting of Wii Sports may not be for everyone, so the solemnity of Wii Fit could be the Trojan horse that makes the Wii platfo...

Nintendo did say that Wii Fit would come in at under $100. According to (a blurry snapshot of what looks like) a Gamestop release list, American gamers will be shelling out $89.99 for the game and the included Balance Board peripheral ...
Rocket Company's Wii Exercise was risible when it was clearly an attempt to compete with Wii Fit with no Balance Board and no Nintendo name on the front. One alteration to the game design has changed the game from ridiculous to, well, ...
Not literally, of course -- really it's more like "A week containing many 30-minute sessions on the Balance Board." Game|Life's Chris Kohler has joined 4cr's Vinnk in long-term Wii Fit experimentation, though in a slightly different ...
Both are huge announcements, but we're definitely more excited for Wii Ware, which already has a lot of (potentially) awesome games in its lineup. The Wii Fit release is also less of a surprise because of previous rumors. ...
Let's put aside the big three for a bit. We all know everyone wants Metroid, Smash Bros. and Super Mario Galaxy. Oh, and Wii Fit. There are a lot of lower-profile games coming out this year that are every bit as compelling. We're thinking about stuff like NiGHTS, the Nintendo-published Endless O...
Filed under: NewsThe Game Critics Association has released their list of nominations for the best of E3, and Nintendo is all over the place -- particularly with Super Mario Galaxy and Wii Fit. The DS may have been spurned for anything other than the handheld category, but the Wii sure seems...
But, given how much we read about Shiggy, his latest interview with Chris Kohler is one of his best. Shiggy manages to touch on an icnredible variety of subjects, including price point talk for Wii Fit, the upcoming Wii Ware channel and even took time to offer his opinions on the violent vide...
Filed under: FeaturesYes, we're all sad to see E3 come and go. It was chock full of content and even though some of us are a little disappointed in Nintendo's keynote, they had a fairly decent show overall. Those of us dying to see more Mario got our kicks, we found out we're getting Forever Blue...
After Wii Fit was revealed at Nintendo's keynote on Wednesday, we found ourselves not only thinking of the non-game itself, but also the possibilities the new peripheral could bring to the console. Before we can get ahead of ourselves thinking about all of the non Wii Fit stuff we can do wit...
So just what does Wii Fit do? Better to ask what it doesn't do. The title is set to include more than forty different activities, from aerobics to yoga poses to muscle conditioning, and it will even measure your BMI. Plus, as can be seen in the trailer, there are a number of other fun minigames --...
