Wii Fit coming to North America on May 20th?
It’s no surprise that in just a little over a month, Wii Fit has managed to sell over 1 million copies in Japan. The sales have been absolutely solid all month, with at least 100,000 balance boards flying off store shelves each week. In comparison, Super Mario Galaxy is still struggling to break the million mark in Japan- and the masterpiece came out a full four weeks ahead of Wii Fit!
So when can Americans start sweating away those extra pounds stored up through our unusually warm winter (just two days ago, it was 68 in Chicago. Thanks, global warming)? A recent article on 1up gave a very specific release date of May 20th for the fitness game, although nothing has been officially confirmed by Nintendo.
Do you think Nintendo will strike gold twice when Wii Fit comes to the land of the Baconator?

I can’t speak for the land of the Baconator, but personally, up here in the land of the Canadian Baconator, I’m looking forward to it. The more clips I’ve seen of the Japanese version, the more I’m sold on it. Wii Sports was fun, with the possibility of a workout. But Wii Fit looks like a daily workout, with the possibility of fun. It kinda reminds me of Brain Age, only for the body.
Speaking of which, isn’t Nintendo planning on making a Brain Age for the Wii? I was sure by now there would be some talk of that.
This is Brain Age Wii. Studies have shown that exercising your body keeps your brain fit as well.
[...] will launch on May 12, while Wii Fit will follow the trend and hit shelves on May 19. Somehow, I’m not surprised about the Wii Fit release [...]
