These ads are airing in Austria and Germany right now I believe. (I don't watch TV myself, but I people told they're airing right now.)Originally Posted by LiveFromKyoto
Day one, wish this had come out a long time ago.
Where's the marketing blitz for this?

So what is this Fit Meter?
Is it simply a pedometer?
The 3-axis accelerometer device designed to be attached at the hip and will measure activity and calculate steps and exercise intensity. It also includes a pressure sensor, which can measure changes in altitude and calculates activities like climbing up and down stairs.
Other metrics shown by the Fit Meter include calories burned, target calories, elevation from home, time, temperature, METs graph, an elevation graph, and one month of calories burned in graph form.
The data can be transferred from the Fit Meter to the Wii U via the IR port on the GamePad. Through the Wii Fit U software the data can then be explored with greater detail.
Damn. My problem now is the balance board :/
Just add the Fit Meter for $20 and your set for $35 totalhttp://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=699442Originally Posted by shinobi602
November 29th until December 1st GameStop will be selling used Balance Boards for $14.99
So if you have a Wii U and don't have a Balance Board and still wanted to take advantage of the free Wii Fit U download, this seems like a pretty good way to get a balance board cheap.
Balance boards are dirt cheap at gamestop, and most locations have a healthy pre-owned stock of them. Even before black friday deals you can get them for $18-19 bucks. I got a like-new one for that much this past Friday.Damn. My problem now is the balance board :/

That's in the US though. I'm in Canada and I doubt I'll find any deal like that.Balance boards are dirt cheap at gamestop, and most locations have a healthy pre-owned stock of them.

Let's just say that one would almost think Nintendo released a yellow balance board, based on what I've seen people try to trade in at the game store I worked at :P.Originally Posted by LiberaTeExInferis
What kind of things????Sexually driven ones?:P:P
Is it also being released on the same date on Europe too??
The website only says "Stay active with 77 different activities, including 19 that are all-new, many using the Wii U GamePad controller." We need the full site to launch or the game to come out, whichever is first.Originally Posted by The Horror the horror
Is there any information on the game itself, including the number of work out programs, exercises, etc.?
Thanks.The website only says "Stay active with 77 different activities, including 19 that are all-new, many using the Wii U GamePad controller." We need the full site to launch or the game to come out, whichever is first.
Jeez... over here they go for 30€ at Gamestop, which is still the best deal I've seen so far :(Originally Posted by GustyGardens
In preparation for this game, I bought a Balance Board from GameStop. And through some absurd discounts they had going on at the time for Power Up members, I only ended up playing $5.00! It was in great condition and it works great!
Without the discounts, the price was still only 12 dollars. So, for anyone looking for a Balance Board, I'd recommend it.
Out of curiosity, what was the point of this post?Wii Fit U
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nintendo is giving Wii U owners the chance to get fit for free. Starting Nov. 1, Wii U owners who own a Wii Balance Board accessory and have access to a broadband Internet connection will be able to download a free trial version of Wii Fit U from the Nintendo eShop. The trial software is not an abbreviated version of the game - it's the full Wii Fit U experience. The trial will be downloadable from the Nintendo eShop between Nov. 1, 2013, and Jan. 31, 2014, and will work for 31 days from when it is first played.
Any trial participant who buys a Fit Meter accessory and syncs it to the game will be able to continue playing Wii Fit U forever - a great value for anyone looking to keep calories from Halloween and Thanksgiving at bay. The Fit Meter has many of the same features of modern activity meters, and people can purchase one at select retailers and online at a suggested retail price of $19.99.
With Wii Fit U, the workout goes wherever the user goes. People can work out at home, or take the Fit Meter with them to track steps taken, elevation changes and calories burned. One button press syncs the Fit Meter data to the in-game profile, so people get credit for their physical activity, even if they aren't at home for a traditional Wii Fit U workout. The game also lets people create custom routines of their favorite activities, review their progress and see what their friends are up to in online Gym Communities and Miiverse*. With more than 70 different activities to choose from, Wii Fit U combines fun and fitness in yoga, strength training and fitness games that get people up off the couch and moving. For the first time, dance activities are also included. Players can try eight different dance styles, including salsa, hula and hip hop.

Wii Fit is a pretty fun party game in its own right, for $20 it's worth having regardless of anything else.Does anyone know if this game would be a good purchase for someone who is already fit and healthy but just likes to exercise?
cool cool; I think I'll get it; I do love checking my 3ds walking graph.Wii Fit is a pretty fun party game in its own right, for $20 it's worth having regardless of anything else.
You're not going to get washboard abs using it but what it does is provide a pretty cheap way to track your progress and keep you motivated and engaged with simple exercise. It's also good for people who like graphs and charts of their activity so that they can more visibly see their own progress.
Depends where you are... I got my Wii Fit Plus with official balance board off eBay UK a couple of months ago for £12. Then you just need the meter.Originally Posted by Horseticuffs
So let's say I'm brand new. I own NOTHING and need to buy the bundle with the game, the board, and the meter.
How much we talking about here?
Just weigh in at the morning after waking up, that will do the trick (if you care about tracking your weight).Originally Posted by SovanJedi
On a more serious note, I hope the game doesn't keep trying to make you feel bad when general weight fluctuations mean you add an extra pound or two between days despite genuinely not eating too much and exercising properly. I fucking feel insulted every time the game suggests I'm lying about my food/drink intake when it detects even the tiniest bit of weight gain, especially when I go on to have a definite loss of weight over the week overall.
Aren't daily weigh-ins not recommended anyway precisely because of this? They should do away with that and just make you weigh in at the end of a week.
Depends on what you do/aim for. I am very fit and healthy and think it's great because through it I actually do a lot of stretching (yoga), which I usually don't incorporate enough into my training routine. For actual work-out it's simply not demanding enough for really fit people I'd say. Then there is the fit meter to consider like the other poster said. Will definitely use that for my running.Does anyone know if this game would be a good purchase for someone who is already fit and healthy but just likes to exercise?
