'Wii Fit' gets UK pricing

A week ago, Nintendo dated Wii Fit for Europe, saying the exercise game would arrive 25 April. Yesterday, Nintendo added a price tag to the game as well.

Wii Fit will sell for £69.99 in the UK and €89.99 in the rest of Europe. The game will come bundled with the Wii Balance Board, which acts as a controller for the game and also calculates a person's body mass index.

Wii Fit features four different exercise types: aerobics, muscle conditioning, yoga and balance activities. Minigames, which include holding still in a yoga pose for a certain amount of time, ski jumping and walking across a tightrope, are included.

In Japan, Wii Fit was released on 7 December, and comes bundled with the Wii Balance Board for ¥8,800 (£42). Wii games generally retail in Japan for around ¥2,000 less; for example, Super Smash Bros Brawl costs ¥6,800.

Wii Fit will be released slightly later in the US on 19 May, and has yet to be priced in the region. However, retailers are accepting preorders at a price of $69.99 (£35).
