You guys down with Wii Fit or what? Loose talk around the internet seems to indicate that we’ll all be hearing about something called Wii Fit Plus at E3 next week.
Back in April, Nintendo apparently filed a Japanese patent for Wii Fit Plus along with the above logo. Certain financial analysts are speculating that the game will be targeted towards existing Wii Fit users and will be sold both as a standalone title and as part of a bundle — presumably with the Balance Board.
I’d say it all makes sense. There aren’t a huge amount of exercises in Wii Fit and there hasn’t been any downloadable content as far as being able to purchase new exercises, so some sort of expansion pack that adds a bunch of new strength training, yoga poses, and mini games seems perfectly logical.
Also, stay tuned for our upcoming Fitness Week here at CrunchGear. I’ll be comparing Wii Fit to EA SPORTS Active for those of you trying to decide on a fitness game for the Wii.

WE setup our wii outside on a projector and blasted it at the side of our house. Gives more room for tennis and other sports games
One thing I think I will like more about Active rather than Wii Fit is that it is two players, whereas the Wii Fit is only one player. My husband and I like to work out together as a competition and now with Active we can more easily rather than one of us doing the exercise and then switching players on the game and then getting back into it to have the next player do it.
Jenny there are many other ways you nice folks can work out together at the same time*. So dont blame wii fit for its turn based work outs.
Yeah, Jenny, it’s not like you should be discussing the Wii Fit in response to an article about the Wii Fit or anything. You could be going to a gym or something.
As an owner of both Wii Fit and EA Sports Active, I can give you a preview of Doug’s upcoming comparison:
- Active is better
A virtual personal trainer, the ability to workout with a partner, and a workout that actually works up a sweat! Oh yeah, and a website that has lots of great information and helpful tools to get you motivated.
