It will be pre orders only.They sold 90 a minute on release day.I have one it's good fun but just like wii sports it's much better when a few play it.

makateer Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I got one on Friday from Gamestation. Every shop had plenty in stock, but I don't know if they have sold out since then.

Ivan Drago Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I got one on Friday from Gamestation. Every shop had plenty in stock, but I don't know if they have sold out since then. I wouldn't imagine it being any trouble to find it somewhere. the problem with gamestation is even if they are out of stock they still leave the product on display and dont bother telling you its out of stock. so if you're buying from gamestation make sure you check first before standing in a Q with the game only to find out they dont have it by the time you get to the counter!!!!!

UnworthyPapaLazaru Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 A wii question for you wiiers. It says on amazon it is backwards compatable back to the NES. How does that work? (and how much is Wii fit?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Drago Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 A wii question for you wiiers. It says on amazon it is backwards compatable back to the NES. How does that work? (and how much is Wii fit?) must be talking about virtual console mate, where u can download old games (for a price mind u). Its backwards compatible with Gamecube but u need a gamecube controller. And for N64 and Snes games i think u need gamecube controller or 'classic controller'. Think Wii fit is 60-70 quid at the moment. PS if u want to play NES games... http://www.nintendo8.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wi Fit is ?69.99 but you are really paying for the board which alot more games are going to incorporate the use of it in games.Wii Ski is due out this year and there is a snowboard game in development(hopefully 1080)As for the Nes/Snes,sega,c64 and neo geo games you download them from the virual console.

Never seen that but i could see them using that for the dancing section of the game.I think the snowboarding one will be brilliant just turn the wii board to the side and bingo.Imagine playing SSX using the wii board for speed and edging and then the wiimote for tricks.Im brilliant on the downhill skiing on wii fit so i think it would be brilliant.

The Old Tolbooth Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 There's no messages displayed on screen at all, it just tells us to switch the board on before continuing. Also, we can't sync the board as it needs power on to be able to do that, and it wont let us turn any power on, the wee blue light just flashes 2 or 3 times and then nothing, I'll have another bash at it later as I'm busy working away just now and let you know how I get on.
