Nintendo Wii Fit Balance Board and membership to cost $90

It seems like so long ago when we first heard that Nintendo was to introduce the Wii Fit, this balance board was going to be Nintendo’s fitness-gym-in-a-box. In the summer last year the rumor of the price was about $70, however that price was a little on the cheap side, the Nintendo Wii Fit and one-off membership will cost $89.99 and will be released on May 19.

The reason that the Nintendo Wii Fit with Balance Board is more expensive than was first thought is being blamed on the weak dollar. The Wii Fit was launched back in December in Japan and has been a huge hit; the people over in Europe will be getting the balance board on April 25, which is over three weeks before the U.S. will get their hands on this fitness-gym-in-a-box.

However if you do live in the US then the Nintendo World store in New York City has a great little offer, if you put down $5 on a Nintendo Wii Fit any time after April 18 you will receive a free limited-edition T-shirt with a print of Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto as well as a signature. However, you must hurry as this is only limited to the first 1,000. This is the first time that Nintendo have developed something to exercise the body instead of the mind, now your parents can no longer say that playing a games console is bad for your health.
