Wii Fit for US and UK announced

Reuben Lee | Feb 21, 2008

Wii gamers here in Asia will soon be able to get their hands on an English version of the Wii Fit when Nintendo launches the exercise accessory on May 19 in the US (and April 25 in the UK). So far, the parallel import models of the Wii Fit available in the market come from Japan, meaning compatibility (officially) only to the Japan Wii console and Japanese language software.

Sadly, the recent Nintendo announcement is for only the US and UK release dates, but does not mention when the Wii Fit will be officially launched in Asia (outside Japan). However, looking at past trends, it should be not too far off from the US/UK launch.

Wii Fit, which was first released on December 1, 2007, in Japan, is a Wii game title that's designed to work with a balancing platform peripheral called the Wii Balance Board to promote exercising. Activities such as yoga, pushups, ski jumping and other exercises are included in the game.
