Don't see why not.

Have a new board or maybe even use old one as well. But beyond the typical "home" experience of Wii Fit, you could have it to go.

YOu have your switch to prop up on its stand to do your workouts in the hotel room. You have the switch in your purse/bag to take out and input your daily food intake when at a restaurant. Ect.

Wii Fit is not tied ot the WIi branding, its tied to the fitness marketting, which is still a big thing. Make one able to sync their fitness band to the switch game and you will have a very inticing game, or app is probably better description.

It depends, how good are the Joycons as motion controllers?

Personally I think it still has potential as a IP but it won't be a massive seller. Nintendo also pooched it by doing the free to play/rental experiments when releasing Wii Fit U and the remake of Wii Sports on the Wii U.

The brand can still move forward but they will need to use the Joycons and another accessory (not balance board sized, probably a pedometer that synchs your info to the Switch and a online/mobile app) along with a decent campaign. Can't bank on word of mouth like the Wii era to do the advertising, they need to spend some money to get it to the fitness lovers not following game news.

I like those ideas. A portable Switch Fit would be great, yes, and the idea of a pedometer is interesting too.

The balance board is an excelent device though. It corrects you on your exercises, it lets you know about your posture and can measure your weight.
