Support NeoGAF

[joedick]

You can buy knockoff Wiimotes (with Plus built in) for pretty cheap. I'm sure they're not as good as the first party options, but I imagine they'll get the job done for Wii Fit.

 

[kitsuneyo]

Glad to hear the dual wiimote feature, bodes well for wii sports club boxing

Shame Rhythm Boxing is just the same as the Wii version. Nunchuck ignored a couple of my left punches just now. Two Remote option woulda been good.

I had zero interest in Wii Party U, but I've just placed an order because of the need for Wiimote pluses.

I have one motionplus adapter, but I don't think I have two.

 

[axisofweevils]

Downloading now.
My Wii Fit Meter came today too so I'm fully prepared.

 

[Kouriozan]

I like how they improved some of the old games.
Just tried the ski jump ultimate, a bit hard!

 

[Liferebooted]

Is this still not up in the US? I can only find "add to wish list."

Yay, just joined, let's do this!

 

[Broken Hope]

Synced up my Fit Meter was really simple.

 

[RotBot]

I'm guessing there's still no multiplayer if you have 2 balance boards?

 

[JennyTablina]

Wasn't aware some of the new Fit activities require 2 Wii remote plus controllers. Maybe I should get the Mario and Luigi ones...

 

[Robin64]

No, sorry, just single board swap multi.

 

[Broken Hope]

It's all the dancing ones and the climbing one, so around 9 activities total that require 2 Wii Remote Plus controllers.

Not bad, I hope Nintendo really advertises this.

 

[Liferebooted]

Can someone please tell me how to use the above community code? Kinda new to Wii U stuff.

Can you tell us how many of them were kept in this version?

 

[SporeCrawler]

Solution for those who don't have enough Wiimote Pluses:

how about this.

 

[SporeCrawler]

You can buy knockoff Wiimotes (with Plus built in) for pretty cheap. I'm sure they're not as good as the first party options, but I imagine they'll get the job done for Wii Fit.

Why would you buy those if you cant cheap first parrty wiimotes with games like span smasher, zelda skyward sword, wiiplay motion and wii party u.

 

[firehawk12]

You need two Wiimotes? God damn...

Count me in !

 

[Robin64]

Kinda weird seeing a menu labelled "NeoGAF" in your game. (Also it made my Mii fat, what the hell!)

 

[SporeCrawler]

Two wii remote pluses are needed for some of the activities? Yikes, I don't have any! I think I only have a single Wii Motion Plus addon thingy. :|


So in order to play Wii Fit U you need the following:

Wii U console,
2x Wii remote plus (not the original wii remote),
1x Nunchuk,
1x Fit Meter,
1x Wii Balance Board.

Pretty expensive buy-in proposition!

Yeah but due to backwards comoability i onoy need the fitmeter

 

[JennyTablina]

The Mario and Luigi remotes are nice, and they'll be collectable I guess, but they also cost more than buying a copy of Wii Party U with the remote right now. So going with that option instead. I have my shiny gold Zelda one anyway heh.

If your looking for cheapest copy, Amazon has it at £34.99 right now.

Forget accessories, it's actually the #1 Wii U product out of anything.

Why would you buy those if you cant cheap first parrty wiimotes with games like span smasher, zelda skyward sword, wiiplay motion and wii party u.

Well, the original context was about keeping the barrier to entry as low as possible, so in that sense a $20 fake Wiimote is better than $50 for Wii Party U.

I'll join you on Sunday.

Maybe messages only appear during training and maybe you can only post during training?

Will join whenever it pops up on the US eShop!

 

[Hoodbury]

Does anyone know can you just buy the Wii Fit meter thing and use that part of the game without owning the balance board? Or will the game not let you get up and running without the balance board?

 

[joedick]

You don't need two. Only some of the events require two. I believe it was mentioned in this thread it's nine events, all dancing and rock climbing.

Awesome.

Hey guys, is there a way I can download the game to my Wii U from work? I'd love for it to be available as soon as I come home tonight.

You need a balance board to even begin. Your weight is a base calculation for everything this game does.

 

[Kouriozan]

Can you tell us how many of them were kept in this version?

I think there is everything from Wii Fit Plus, they added an "ultimate" difficulty for some, I'll try to unlock everything.

Haha, my brother is in the exact same situation

Just tried the first dancing game, it's incredible, I like it a lot!

I have great faith in the ability of video game website guys to evaluate a fitness product.

 

[Robin64]

By the way, the Fit Meter works for dogs. The ingame explanation mentions how METs are calculated differently for dogs and shows a doggy face instead of a Mii on the Fit Meter.

 

[axisofweevils]

Downloaded! Now installing...

 

[Kouriozan]

All kneel before Robin64, our Wii Fit Master.

i am sure you can get spansmasher for 20 $. That game tanked hard.

Yeah. It's now #46 in .com and #30 in .ca

There's no way a normal timeline could evaluate this game since it's all about stick-to-it-ness so whatever we get will probably not be very good.

Incredible.

 

[New002]

Does anyone know if any brick and mortar stores will be stocking the meters today? I'm going to call around after I get off work but figured I'd ask just in case someone has already checked around. Thanks!
