Downloading this tomorrow. Already have the Fit Meter pre-ordered. What a steal for $20!

thank u everyone. i just want to be sure before buying the fit meter. the bundle fit meter + game is just $50, so no problems buying it. but $ 20 is just a joke !



The download is not available yet, nor is the fit meter. My local shop had not even heard of the fit meter yet...



It's available now, 3.5 GB download. If my wifi holds out it should be there in 35 minutes.



Always wanted to try Wii Fit but I live on the second floor of my apartment. I can easily hear the upstairs neighbor when just walking around so if I were to play Wii Fit then I would probably bug the hell out of my downstairs neighbor.

First impressions:

Looks slick, not too many new things though.

It automatically asks to import your user data (if you had it saved on the WiiU already) Somehow it lost some data during the transfer, some gaps in the older data (pre 2012), and it reset all counters and scores. Room for new high scores. You can let it take your picture now after every body test then watch a slideshow later. I guess useful if you want a time lapse of your facial hear growing...

Adding users is a bit more annoying. You have to add them in the WiiU menu first before they can be added in Wii Fit U. It seems that after that you can still switch on the fly from within the game, plus there is a multiplayer mode. (taking turns)

Nothing new in yoga and strength training.
New aerobics: Puzzle squash, rowing and a new variation of boxing and running.
New balance games: Trampoline target, Hosedown, Dessert course, Ultimate obstacle course, Core luge, Scuba search and climbing.
And there is a new dance category which looks like a bunch of stepping routines.

In a new personal trainer menu you can set a calorie goal and intensity to create a random set of routines.
For example for 1 chocolate bar (455 cal) you need 138 minutes of intense vigorous exercise, or 7 and a half hours of light yoga!

You can set up your own routines, view all kinds of stats and rankings and join a gym comminity, I guess to be compared to others. It just dumped a whole bunch of mii's in the wii fit plaze.

The fit meter can record every step you take during the day and also elevation changes which you can upload (infrared beam) to the WiiU. Then it can tell you how many times you have climbed the pyramids or if yoj have walked to moon yet. (Ok no moon but it did show the pyramids in the menu)

I don't think I care about the meter. I suppose the software download is going to cost $20?


I don't know but I doubt it. I think this is a promotion to push the meter as it is for a limited time. I won't be surprised if the game cost more.

The retail disc (game only) is listed in the UK at £49.99. I have no idea of the download price.

I think whether you want it or not getting the meter might well turn out to be the cheaper option.

Well, wouldn't be the first useless peripheral I get with the software I actually want.

I'll gladly take it off your hands. I may need two.

Well it's not like you'll be jumping all over the place like DDR or something.

Yeah, almost all activities keep your feet (or foot, or back) firmly planted. Shouldn't make any more noise than walking around, with the exception of the running on the spot activity.

I'll keep you in mind if I wind up with a pedometer I don't want.

well, it seems that i have to sync the balance board in order to sync the meter and take advantage of the Wii Fit U promotion. I will have to buy the retail packaged version that includes the meter for $50.
be aware of that people.
