Wii Fit U

The Wii Fit U is the sequel to Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus, and is playable only on the Wii U. The game is downloadable on the Nintendo eShop, there may be reasons you want a physical version of the game; perhaps you want to save storage space on your Wii U, to not keep your Wii U constantly connected to the Internet.

The Wii Fit U w/Fit Meter - Wii U opening screen starts with same familiar logo and music from Wii fit and Wii Fit Plus. The system will let you copy over any old data from Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus either through a full System Transfer (a long and rather painful process), or by copying your old data from your Wii onto an SD card.

The animated Balance Board is your host, welcoming you back and explaining the new features of Wii Fit U. First, it explains there are new training modes that have been designed for the Wii U GamePad. Next, it explains that the Wii U GamePad can be used as a personal display, so the TV can be turned off for certain activities, such as the Body Test.

The initial Body Test works very much like it did in the original Wii Fit in terms of tracking how your weight and center of balance change over time. One clever new feature is that you have the option of taking photos of your face each time you do the Body Test using the GamePad camera.

Wii Fit U w/Fit Meter - Wii U gets an excellent rating, it's that good. It takes all the best things from the original Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus, but also adds a lot of enhancements and new features that take full advantage of the Wii U. The graphics are faster and cleaner, and the GamePad isn't just a gimmick like it is in some other games-they did a great job of using it to really enhance the enjoyment of the game. There are enough new activities to make the game feel fresh and new, and yet they kept enough of the old to keep it familiar. And the games are easy to learn, but have great replay value as well, something great for workouts or friendly competition between family and friends.
