Live from the Nintendo Media Event at E3 Expo!
We’re here in cloudy Los Angeles at the Nokia Theater (pic above is the overflow room for the live media event) to celebrate Nintendo’s announcement of the Wii Fit Plus. Among other exciting news from the company such as an improved precision control Wii Remote called MotionPlus, a vitality sensor that can monitor your pulse, and cool new titles such as Wii Sports Resort and Super Mario Bros Wii, Wii Fit Plus has some great improvements over the original Wii Fit.
But how big is Nintendo’s Wii console and what’s the reach of consumers with the balance board? Cammie Dunaway, Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Nintendo of the Americas, gave us some info.
First, how many Wii consoles do you think have been sold?
That’s right, more than 50+ Million!
How well has the original Wii Fit been doing?
So we have a pretty good feeling that Wii Fit Plus is going to do just as well.
Here are a couple of highlights from the announcement:
- Starting in the fall, it’ll be available independently (for those who already have a balance board) and as a bundle replacing Wii Fit with new balance board purchases
- Exercise modules are improved to enable a playlist-like set-up to improve workout flow in 20, 30 or 40-minute increments (there are 6 new yoga and strength exercises)
- Customization is improved to help you focus your training
- There’s even a fun little module that enables you to weigh your dog or cat
