I'll be purchasing two Fit Meters for me and my GF tomorrow and start my fitness routine. I need to get my basic fitness back until the 18th, as by then I'll start my new job and need to be fit for that.

Well, they're doing with Wii Sports, they're probably gonna do it for Wii Fit U too... then again, the game IS coming out as a packaged title, so not sure.

By the way, received that little thing today (box is quite small) :


Now I just need an actual balance board, and, oh, the game itself :p

Looks like they just completely reskinned the PokéWalker. Which is funny, but really smart, didn't that thing have a very high level of accuracy with its measurements?

Not sure, the Fit Meter is actually slightly smaller, so I guess the insides aren't the same. There's more data with the Fit Meter (like altitude, that wasn't in the original PokéWalker), so I don't think they just reskinned the thing.

That's not THAT complicated.

Copy the save data from the Wii Data Management section onto an SD card (card must have at least 512MB of space)
Move the SD card to the Wii U
Put the Wii Fit/Wii Fit Plus disc into the Wii U
Go into Wii mode on Wii U
Copy the save data to Wii U within Wii mode
Data can then be extracted from the Wii once you get Wii Fit U

Basically, all you gotta do is transfer your save data from the Wii.

What a bunch of bullshit!

The price of the Fit Meter here in Denmark is 300kr (or $60!!) which is ridiculous. Now I know prices are higher here in Denmark (a game costs ~$70), but I thought the whole idea of downloading the software free and buying the Fit Meter was to present a cheaper method of getting Wii Fit U.
Guess I'll have to ordre from UK, where the meter costs around half the price.

My left leg is around 1.4 inches (3.5 cm) longer than my right one. I guess I won't be able to use the balance board due to my skewed center of balance?

Not sure. Do you feel yourself leaning to compensate, shifting your center of gravity?

Well, pretty much all Nintendo 1st-party titles were available at midnight, so it's quite possible. Then again, Wii Karaoke U wasn't available until 10AM GMT2 the day it was released, so who knows? Is there a special banner on the eShop right now?

I imagine you can still use it, they're just going to keep giving you tips on how to correct your center of balance. I imagine you'd be fine for exercises and stuff.

Smash 4 trainer is from Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus.

Got an email update from Amazon this morning regarding my Fit Meter. Sweet.

I commute to work by bike so I will be very interested to see how it interprets that activity. I really hope it doesn't ignore it as it ignores car travel.

You're anticipating an awfully quick download! Reggie did say it's a 'beefy' game. Isn't the midnight download best for setting it up and having it ready in the morning? (I haven't downloaded any 'retail' games, so I don't really know how long it takes).

Depends. I don't actually think Nintendo does that large games. Even 3-4GB has a chance of going rather quickly.

You could say it's a beefy game but it's more like Wii U Basic harddrive is small.

Slightly cheaper at amazon.de, but then you have to pay for shipping(which is free in amazon.co.uk), and delivery time is 7-21 days, compared to 3-7 days from uk. Anyway I ordered it.

Funny how this game totally snuck up on me. I was traveling and missed the Wii Fit U direct and never bothered to look it up, then this thread pops up and suddenly it's FREE game in a couple of days! Sweet :p

I doubt they are very strict with the street date for that item. After all you can't use it until the game is downloadable from the eShop.

Well, technically I'm sure you can use it. What would be stopping you from taking some walks and accumulating data?

Just Amazon who shipped it a bit early. They do that for every new game, but I forgot, since I switched to full digital a few months ago.

Actually, you can't. I tried to turn it on, and there was an animation on the screen that asked me to activate it through IR. But since the actual game isn't out yet, you can't do that. I doubt it starts accumulating data before it's initialised.

Dunno. I don't think they've detailed the activities in the game, short of the Nintendo Direct and a few videos released here and there.

Yeah, the last direct was all about the meter. I'm hoping if nothing else, I can use it as a weight tracker with just the gamepad.

Oh, does the meter have a belt clip on the back of it?

Ah, okay. That's a shame. It would be cool if they let you use it before syncing.

I can't imagine it supporting several profiles. The idea is to have it on you all the time. That's how Fitness Trackers work.
