Wii Fit for $90?
Category: Wii, Posted: 03/24/2008 at 11:34PM CDT by Brian Post, Content Contributor
Despite the infrequent release of quality titles on Nintendo's machine (aside from Brawl, at least), there's one thing that may or may not be on the minds of Wii owners as of late: Wii Fit.
While not all hardcore gamers have the desire to step on the balance board that will be bundled with the game, there's no denying that it may potentially appeal to the soccer moms that will see it in action when it's inevitably featured on morning talk shows throughout the country near the time of its release.
Naturally, the first thought that will likely come to the mind of many will be, "How much?"
A rumor has recently sprung up concerning the price of the big N's excercise set, which suggests that it will be attainable for $90.
Considering that the company has been keeping the casuals in mind for the longest time, it'd be a fairly intelligent move to price the product at a price point that won't remove the thought of buying one from their heads in favor of purchasing a Richard Simmons work-out vid.

I personally wouldn't get Wii fit if it was free...
Check out the parody video... pretty much sums it up.

Hehe, agreed. The only way I see this selling, is if nintendo goes all evil, and their next big game will require the balance board.
It's already selling in Japan unfortunately. Knowing the majority of Wii owners, I suspect it will sell here too because people will think it's fun exercise that's effective (even if it's not at all).
It's not that surprising that it is selling well in Japan, as their culture is always up for these kind of things. I doubt it will do well here Stateside, seeing how most people in America don't exercise, and the ones who do... well... already exercise.
