The new wireless Wii Balance Board allows families to control on-screen action with movements as they work their way through a variety of challenges aimed at getting everyone off the couch and into the action.
Players will be able to check their Body Mass Index (BMI), see their Wii Fit Age and keep tabs on daily progress towards being more fit.
The Balance Board will be bundled with a game and sold as “Wii Fit”.
Wii Fit - The Game, contains more than 40 activities and exercises, including strength training, aerobics, yoga and balance games. Whether you’re family is into yoga or skiing down a slalom course, there’s an activity for everyone.
Up to eight family members can create their own profiles in Wii Fit. On the profile-selection screen, everyone in the family can see each other’s recent BMI progress and Fit Credit total. This will allow families to have a friendly competition to exercise and get fit.
Nintendo also opened the platform for 3rd Party video game developers, which means we can expect a lot of great and innovative games for the Balance Board in the near future.
Wii Fit will ship on 05/19/08

I put wheels on my balance board and rode it down the tunnel slide at the playground by my house.
Thought that sounded stoopid? Imagine people paying money for a weigh scale that plugs into your TV and tells you how fat you are! AMAZING!!!!
