Wii Fit

[El Presidente]

Having taken delivery of it about an hour ago, (although kids immediately on it), a couple of questions.

1. If you get a second balance board can you play two player
2. Is it wi fi multiplayer
3. Anyone got Wii Ski? If so, is it any good?

 

[Munkfish]

Wii Fit is amazing, and bloody tireing, im sure the kids will love it, the ski jump is great fun as well.

 

[jevs]

Where can you get them from ?....everywhere i tried has sold out !!!!

 

[El Presidente]

I used this website, which has a real time update of when they come available

Nintendo Wii in stock - locator 179.99

Watch out for the cowboys charging 120 for them, Game and other retailers online are still selling them for £69.99, though they might come bundled with a spare battery or Wii Ski etc.

Currently have three kids giggling like mad in the lounge playing on it, seems great.

Its a great bit of kit.
I just had to make DAILY phonecalls to Gamestation in Haywards Heath (round the corner from where I work) on the offchance of them having some Wii Fits in that days delivery.

No, they never know when they're coming in.
No, they won't reserve one.

Got there in the end though, after about 3 weeks. They got a delivery of a few one morning, so I dashed round and nabbed one. Pot luck, it is.

Pot luck, it is.

Is that the name of a new game for the Wii, featuring Yoda and some domestic work in the kitchen?

Not really. Just took a 10 second phone call from my desk just after lunch.

"Hello. Have you got any Wii Fits in ?"
"No"
"Thank you. Good day."

Fair enough, easier than i imagined.

 

[Munkfish]

I was getting it as a present for the missus though, and preferred to pick it up with my own grubby mits rather than have it delivered.

Apparently, I'm overweight

Sorry...not wii fit but does anyone have the "wii band"....with drums, guitar, microphone and software.

3. Anyone got Wii Ski? If so, is it any good?

Wii (family) ski is alright although it lacks the forward / back motion that the skiing on the wii fit games offers and you do miss it.

Its an ok game - perhaps not that much life in it although it is fun weaving down the runs and its got a whole mountain laid out linked together with lifts.

7/10 for me

Not as good as rock band for the 360 or PS3, but good fun nevertheless.

I prefer to think of you as cuddly but cute.

Was that the ONLY device you have bought for the missus that takes batteries?

 

[tinx]

I got mine the easy way, Pre-ordered about a month before it came out and it was delivered at 9am on the day of release by a courier. Simple.

Of course not. I bought her a nine inch black rubber dildo with "realistic veins". It has three gears.
