Wii anyone?
« on: December 27, 2010, 07:45:01 PM »
Ok I have NO clue when it comes to gaming consoles - I mean ZERO...

So what do I need:

No idea here either - lol!  But waiting to see the replies, because I'm interested in the same thing too.

From what I understand, you need to get the Wii itself first - do you have a Wii already?  Then the Wii Fit bits (or package) is extra onto the basic setup.

Hi,

You can get the whole package as a bundle from Amazon:

You just need -

Wii
Wii-mote
Nunchuck (optional, mainly used for boxing)
Wii fit board (make sure it comes with Wii fit Plus as that's the latest version of the game)


So basically if you have the wii, you just need to buy the board and it will come with the game (wii fit plus)  :)  -



I have one, I use it to keep a track of my weight, I do the yoga and the step up cardio :) I also quite like the boxing :)
The yoga's really good actually and I've been enjoying it, doing about half an hour a day, I like how you can set up routines now in wii fit plus :)

The last game console I owned was Atari haha just kidding I had an orig. Nintendo ;-)

Ok I will start to see what deals are out there worst case if I buy the wii and then buy the board later...

Looking at the cost of these suckers its expensive when I have to use US funds ;-)

You could knock some money off by getting a preowned from GAME or HMV if in stock, a Preowned wii is £95

A preowned wii fit is about £65 I think :)

We bought Wii Fit last year but my interest in it lasted about a week.  :-\\\\

I have to say, I don't think the age thing is a very accurate gauge of a person's fitness level. It's more a measure of how coordinated you are. I'm overweight and completely out of shape, yet it told me I was 23.

EA Sports also put out an NFL workout game, but only in the US.  This is a bummer, but I understand their thinking, seeing as I'm probably the only person in the UK in the target demographic.   :)
