Wii Fit is Going to Pump, You Up

Nintendo will be releasing the newest of its exercise games, the Wii Fit on May 19th and you can expect it to fly off of the retailer shelves. But just who will be buying it? Many expect that our mom's will be buying them, at least according to some analysts and some research. The Nintendo Wii has been more popular among women than the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Sony PlayStation 3, but some analysts believe that this game that combines exercise and entertainment will help put Wii sales over the top again.

Wii Fit will retail for $89.99 and will include a balance board to facilitate the more than 40 yoga, aerobics, and strength training exercises. The user sets their own fitness goals and keeps track of their progress over time.

Now if you are more of a racing fan, just around the corner you can keep your eyes open for Mario Kart Wii on April 27th. This is a great game that uses a steering wheel-shaped peripheral that holds the Wii remote. The chief function of the wheel is just to make the remote easier to hold so the wheel is really reasonable, about $15. For the most part, you're sure to get a lot of exercise steering your Kart around the track and knocking all of your friends off of the track. Many believe that this game is a reason to own a Wii.
