Nintendo have announced a new Wii console bundle for Europe which comes with a black Wii Fit Balance Board.
The latest bundle from Nintendo Europe contains a black Wii console along with a black Wii Remote, black Nunchuck, black Balance Board and a copy of Wii Fit Plus along with a copy of Wii Sports and is due for release December 3rd.
Nintendo have announced both the pricing and a release date for the long awaited Wii Fit Plus.
The game itself will retail for $99 along with the Wii Balance Board and will be released in North America on Oct 4th. The game will also be available in a stand alone edition which will retail for $19.99.
It’s been confirmed that some of the biggest Nintendo titles are definitely making their way to the Wii this year.
Wii Fit Plus, New Super Mario Bros Wii, and the Metroid Trilogy are all destined for Nintendo Wii this year, according to Nintendo Australia managing director Rose Lappen.
“No specific release dates, but certainly in the order of Wii Sports Resort first, then we’re hoping Wii Fit Plus will come in around October – potentially late October – and then Mario in around late November, early December.” she said. “Metroid Prime Trilogy is certainly coming. That looks fantastic. And it’s got a little… special item in the book. That’s definitely coming.”

Nintendo’s forthcoming Wii Fit Plus could be released as a budget title if the latest rumours prove to be true.
Unconfirmed but supposedly reliable sources claim Nintendo’s Wii Fit Plus could retail for as little as $21 when it débuts in the United States. The fitness title which is set to be released in Japan first is set to retail there for a meagre 2,000 yen, let’s hope similar pricing is announced worldwide.
There were some surprising revelations at Nintendo’s E3 press conference today with some new key titles revealed.
Whilst speculation was rife regarding what the ultra-secretive Nintendo would announce I can now confirm that New Super Mario Brothers Wii and Wii Fit Plus were revealed, though to a thoroughly non-responsive crowd.
The overall atmosphere thankfully changed for the better as Nintendo causally left the best for last by announcing the sublime Super Mario Galaxy 2 and the frankly awesome looking Super Metroid: Other M. Both of these fresh, exclusive Wii titles took the audience by storm creating a buzz that reverberated throughout the entire conference hall.
Nintendo is set to launch a new ultra precise version of the Wii Fit Balance Board alongside an updated and newly refined Wii Fit.
Japan’s Nikkei newspaper has leaked details of a newly revised Wii Fit and Balance Board ahead of Nintendo’s planned announcement at E3 this week. Wii Fit Plus will include additional exercises for gamers to participate in and will include a more accurate balance board.
Pictures have secretly been snapped of an upcoming retail release schedule in Amsterdam purportedly showing the release dates of both Wii Sports Resorts and the unannounced existence of Wii Fit Plus.
