Forums - Gaming - Could Wii Fit suck?

A stand alone board? Why would Nintendo sell that? All of the games with Wii Fit are made to only need 1 board or 2 wiimotes (be they 1 player or 2 player). I think games for it will work like games for Link's Crossbow Training whereas only 1 player plays at a time. Considering how cool it is, that should be fine. Heck, it is good enough for a light gun game like Link's Crossbow Training.

Wii Fit should cost between $80 and $100, no stand alone board, and be focused on 1 player at a time.

Now, if Nintendo only brought back the power pad for Wii Sports 2 and Mario and Sonic at the Olympics 2.

I think you are looking at a $90 price point -- about what people pay for Guitar Hero -- based upon articles that I have seen and the current exchange rates.

It will be the same type of people buying the game. It is easily a 1M seller in NA. Plus with additional games being done for the balance board, it will become a must have item (Skiing by Namco, for example will use the board).

Finally, just remember that Wii buyers are more mainstream than hardcore -- so it will sell well.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

it could very will be an instant hit here in the US of A just beacuse of 1 word, just one. Fit. People are gonna gobble it up like a Whopper with cheese and Chicken fries witrh a large coke and... I gotta go to BK. BRB. (J/K YOU FOOLS!)



It is going to be a system seller over here and in Europe no doubt. The potential of the balance board alone is going to excite gamers. Look at the Wii zapper, a piece of plastic with a above average game that has already sold well over a million. Nintendo knows what they are doing and people are loving it.

Ok. So about this Work Out thing. Would non-gamers be so engaged to pay $335+ (Wii + Wii Fit without tax) ?

it's 90 for the game, so 340 pre-tax, but yes they would look at the millions of sales of absizers, thigh masters, etc etc the multi-billion dollar workout equipment industry in the US will buy millions of wiis+wii fit alone...then plenty of the non-gamers that are interested in a wii for wii sports will buy the system and wii fit...and tons of casuals will and then many hardcore as well
