Nintendo has announced the official launch date for its much-anticipated Wii Fit home fitness title for its Wii game console—and it’s May 21, only two days from now. The game, already highly successful in Japan, is another in Nintendo’s efforts to create new markets for its gaming products. Instead of letting players blast aliens, solve puzzles, or engage in online play, Wii Fit is about getting players moving, stretching, and exercising, and tracking their progress as they improve over time. The game is built around a new innovative Balance Board which connects wirelessly to the Wii console and acts as a launching pad for more than 40 game activities in areas like aerobics, yoga, balance, and strength training.
