It's probably much too early to consider any announced price for Wii Fit to be definite. Wii Fit's product pages at EB Games and GameStop, however, list a placeholder price which is pretty much in line with what we're expecting -- $69.99.

We've got the Japanese version of Wii Fit in the office, and we've been fumbling around the menus trying to get ourselves in shape. There is quite a bit of Japanese text in the game. But we speak the universal language of videogames (and we are proficient in the art of trial and error). Today we calculated our body mass index (BMI) and are happy to report we weigh exactly what we should for our height.

When Nintendo unveiled Wii Fit, it was over. Sitting in the front row of the conference we knew it, and watching at home everyone across the world knew it too. Wii Fit is entirely mainstream, and with the addition of the exercise-encouraging Wii Balance Board the game is sure to make headlines from now until its release. In addition, the potential of the Wii Balance Board is tremendous, as it allows the user to control Wii titles in a whole new way with full-body integration.

For one of the smallest E3 shows in history, Nintendo's offering still had its fair share of surprises. Many hardcore gamers would argue that the most surprising - and rage-inducing - aspect of the show was the sheer lack of Smash Bros. Brawl. Others still were surprised to see a first showing of Trauma Center: New Blood for Wii, with co-op gameplay and new missions built specifically for Wii this time around. Still, nobody expected the one-two punch of Wii Fit and the Wii Balance Board during Nintendo's press conference, and the shockwave of mainstream press that followed the even was tremendous in turn. Headlines everywhere claimed that Nintendo was bringing gaming to the masses yet again, and that the Big N was out to get gamers up off the couch and doing some exercise.
