Wii Fit U
Available exclusively on Wii U, free for 31 days, or £49.99 on the Nintendo UK Online Store including Fit Meter from 6th December. Prices will vary between retailers.
If you want to get back into shape after Christmas, take your fitness routine to the next level with Wii Fit U, the all new game in the Wii Fit franchise, exclusively for Wii U. Work out with fun new exercises that use the Wii U GamePad, Wii Balance Board or both, as well as returning exercises from Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus.
Wii Fit U features many of the strength training, yoga and fun fitness games that have made the Wii Fit series so popular. Plus, there are new games such as Dessert Course, Core Luge and Trampoline Target that combine the Wii Balance Board and Wii U GamePad, including new dance routines such as hip-hop, locking and salsa that work out various parts of the body through simple dance moves. The game also gives players more ways to create their own custom workout routines. Users can also create or join a Miiverse Gym Community to share tips and support with other Wii Fit U users who have similar goals. Or people can create closed communities made up exclusively of their friends. Also included with the game is the brand new portable Fit Meter accessory which is much more than a pedometer – it’s an activity meter that tracks a wide range of everyday activity. It records not only the number of steps a user has taken, but it also takes into account the intensity of those steps – was the user running or walking? The Fit Meter also measures altitude, so wearers get credit for climbing stairs or walking uphill. All of these data points combined provide users with an accurate overview of their day’s activity, including a detailed calculation of the number of calories they burned.
What’s more, Nintendo is offering Wii U owners a chance to download a 31-days trial version of Wii Fit U for free. Starting on 1st November, Wii U owners can download a complete trial version of the game and get a head start on their New Year’s fitness goals by trying out all the activities found in the game for 31 days – at no cost. All you need is a balance board and a Wii U system with a broadband Internet connection. Fitness fans can unlock the time restriction of Wii Fit U by simply synching a Fit Meter, available at retail separately, to the game. PEGI 3
