Wii Fit release date for Russia revealed

March 20th, 2008

It was recently revealed that Nintendo’s Wii Fit should be arriving in Russia by May 15 this year. This means in a couple of months, gamers from the said region will be able to start getting fit while playing with their Wii’s. That is, if they’re willing to pony up the cash for it.

According to website ConsoleNewz, the recommended retail price of WiiFit in Russia is pegged at 3,999 rubles (roughly US$ 170). If this holds true, then this might disappoint some of the gamers in the region who don’t want to spend that much money on a game.

Hopefully, Nintendo will release an official statement regarding this to clarify the actual recommended price of Wii Fit in Russia.

Wii Fit Australian release date

March 10th, 2008

Starting on May 8, 2008, Nintendo wants Australians to start fighting the battle of the bulge with the WiiFit exercise platform. While not your traditional gaming experience, Nintendo hopes to capture the ever-popular casual gamer market (like
your Luddite mum or grandparents) with a device that gets you off the couch and into your non-impact exercises instead.

Nintendo is distancing itself from gaming with the WiiFit pack, describing it in its release as ‘a health and lifestyle product’. WiiFit also comes with the WiiFit Channel,
which gives you quick access to your daily progress.

There are more than 40 included exercises divided into four categories: balance games, yoga, muscle workouts and aerobic exercises.

WiiFit will retail for AU$149.95.

One Million WiiFits in Japan

January 9th, 2008

Nintendo announced today that it has shipped one million units of WiiFit to the Japanese market. The landmark came on the 6th, making it a bit over one month after the game’s December 1 release.

A few casual surveys of retailers around Tokyo has convinced us that the fitness title and its included Balance Board peripheral have been pretty much sold out since Christmas. It seems that whatever product Nintendo manages to get onto retail shelves, consumers snap up immediately.

Platinum status for a Wii game is nothing new, as Wii Sports has already topped the two million mark in Japan. With WiiFit, however, Nintendo has managed to sell a million units of a product that retails for 8,800 yen, or 3,000 yen more than most Wii games.
