Nintendo Gets Physical with Wii Fit

Been breaking a sweat with Wii Sports Bowling? You ain't seen nothin' yet. Nintendo had just announced a new fitness game for the Wii—complete with a wireless balance board—that looks certain to get your blood pumping.

Unveiled today at the E3 gaming conference in L.A., Wii Fit comprises a series of fitness-oriented games and comes bundled with a thin, flat board that computes your weight and balance. You can run through a series of exercises, including push-ups, stretches, step aerobics, and even yoga, or you can try your hand—er, feet—at some cool balance-oriented games including a soccer ball head-butting contest. The wireless balance board can also measure your body mass index (or BMI); take a reading daily to track your progress (or lack thereof) over time. Pretty cool.

Expect Wii Fit to hit stores later this year; no immediate word on pricing.
