The Balance Games of Wii Fit Plus
With the recent announcement that Wii Fit Plus will be released in Japan on October 1st I’ve started to get pretty excited about the game! You can naturally expect WiiFolder to be covering Wii Fit Plus from day one of it’s release in Japan, but in the meantime here is a list of 11 of the 15 new Balance Games that Wii Fit Plus has to offer. Keep in mind the game will retail for about $24.99 here in North America for the software alone. The bundle with the Balance Board should be about the same as the original release.

---------- Discuss if you want. Kung Fu damn it!!!!!!!
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
