Wii Fit Priced For Europe? News

Getting fitter with Wii comes at a cost, quite a heavy cost it seems...

European Wii owners looking to get fit this spring with the release of Wii Fit may find themselves baulking at the price when the title arrives in the territory on April 25th.

According to information from Eurogamer, Wii Fit along with the Balance Board will cost the princely sum of £69.99, or 89.99 euros on the continent. Although it does come with the rather impressive peripheral, it's hard to imagine Wii Fit matching the Japanese success, flying off to a million sales within its first few weeks.

As a comparison Wii Fit is available across Japan for 11,540 yen, which given the current exchange rate, works out at the slightly more attractive price of £55 - call us skinflints, but that £14 seems to make such a difference.

Obviously, Nintendo knows how to make money at the moment, so what do we know, expect the Wii Fit hysteria to commence shortly.

	By: Anonymous Added:Thu 07th Aug 2008 20:36, Post No: 17 Been thinking of getting this. Heard both good n' bad reviews (and couple cautionary things from real fitness xprts). Sounds like they should've market Bal Board as new game component and the games as actual separate games/programs and let people be surprised at any weight loss seen rather than tout it as an exercise game-program thing. Too many opportunities for "slingshots" if ya know what I mean.
