In an interview with Time Magazine Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Wii Fit and many other Nintendo franchises. said that it wasn’t easy to work on Wii Fit and the Wii Balance Board. Because everyone was having high expectations, it was extremely stressful for them to work on it.

“There tends to be a lot of nervousness about working on a product like this. Video games have a lot of expectations, and developers tend to have stress to meet those.” - Shigeru Miyamoto

Right now he is working on Wii Music and many other interesting Wii-titles. We sure hope Nintendo will announce more healthy Wii-titles!

Here and there you read stories about little girls disappointed when the Wii Balance Board and WiiFit told them that they are fat. Just keep in mind that the Wii Balance Board doesn’t know everything about your body. It’s a great piece of technology, but there’s a few things it doesn’t know. The most important thing it doesn’t know is how much muscles you have in your body. Muscles are four times heavier than fat, so somebody with a lot of muscles might be told that he/she is fat even though that it isn’t true. The guy in this video isn’t too happy with what the Wii Balance Board tells him…

With [tag]Nintendo[/tag]’s [tag]Wii[/tag] and [tag]Wii Fit[/tag] being so popular, it’s sometimes really hard to find a copy of a game. There’s still a lot of problems with Wii supplies and people still trying to get a Wii in their household, and the same problems will pop up with the launch of Wii Fit and the [tag]Wii Balance Board[/tag] in Europe.

As with all our launches, we are working very hard with all our retail partners to be as open and as transparent as possible with further deliveries, we’re disappointed if even one person can’t get hold of one of our products and we are doing everything we can to ensure we have as much stock as possible coming into the UK and Ireland not just at launch, but continually, to try and minimise any potential disappointment as much as possible.” - [tag]Nintendo[/tag] of Europe

Try to reserve your Wii Fit bundle with the Wii Balance Board to avoid disappointment.

The first [tag]Wii Fit[/tag] games with the [tag]Wii Balance Board[/tag] are showing up in European stores, and that gives us some boxshots to look at! The design of the artwork on the PAL-box is a lot more simple than the fancy US box with the [tag]Wii Fit[/tag] lifestyle pictures on it. Notice that there’s also no [tag]Touch! Generations[/tag] sign on the PAL box.
