My what a difference a year makes. In May 2008, Nintendo launched Wii Fit in North America. Bundled with the new peripheral, the Wii Balance Board, the software became one of the best selling titles for the current generation, currently with about 23 million units sold.
Upon visiting my local GameStop this morning to trade the title in, I was awarded the lucrative prize of 2 dollars. Yup. The game is now worth $2 according to the retailer. Of course, I should blame Nintendo for releasing the game’s unfairly cheap follow-up, October 2009′s Wii Fit Plus. At just $19.99, it made my Wii Fit barely worth the cost of the packaging.
So thanks a lot, Nintendo. Now I just need to think of what to spend my 2 dollars on.
