If you’ve been eagerly looking forward to Wii Fit’s American debut, and happen to be in the area to Rockefeller Center, the Nintendo World store in New York City is now distributing them to a long line of overweight individuals stretched around the corner… curiously enough, starting right at the spot where some jokester has erected a “Free Ranch-Soaked Ribs” placard.
If you’re not in New York City, Wii Fit will hit shelves around America tomorrow at a retail price of $90. According to reviews, whether that’s worth the money seems to depend on whether or not you prefer a real fitness solution (join a gym) or a reasonably fun game with some incidental fitness benefits.
If you want the former in video game form, check out our recent 25 Years of Exergaming feature, specifically the section about Yourself! Fitness. I can personally vouch for it.
