I was told that I haven't been blogging for a little while (which is true) so here goes...
Yay, WiiFit is finally released here in Aus!! Needless to say I pre-ordered it, which I guess was kinda a mistake. Not to say that it's not a good game, not at all. It was a mistkae simply because I originally ordered it online at JB which later notified me of a delivery delay so of course I promptly cancelled that order & placed another order at Dick Smith for the same price (A$134 minus the delivery fee). I actually shopped around for quite a bit before, with no one was able to tell me how much they would be selling the game for (Toys 'R' Us for example had a A$20 voucher rebate but didn't say if they were selling it at the RRP of A$150 or not). On Wednesday (day before release) all the new junk mail started coming in & I saw both K-Mart & Big W were selling it for just $119!!! I'm never doing pre-orders again! But that aside, WiiFit is great, & hard! I only tried it out for about 30min yesterday evening & I was struggling with the yoga & muscle workout sections. I wasn't even any good with some of the games like slalom & the headbuding. At least I got my weight measured & BMI calculated. Coming from a 13% body fat early last year I of course wasn't holding out for a 'normal' BMI. I think 1 time I calculated myself to be 15 or something which needless to say was sub/abnormal. To my surprise that the Balance Board actually measured me to be just a tick under 60kg & a BMI of 18.65 (based on my guestimate height of 178cm of course). For those who have tried out the WiiFit already you'd know that it puts you straight to work. After measruing my BMI it immediately asked me to set a goal for improvement (I set a measely 19.0 BMI in 2 weeks) & sent me to exercises. So far my left balance is better than my right which is I guess strange for a righty (even though I often play WiiTennis as a lefty & also sweep left-handed in real life). Speaking of tennis, can't wait for TopSpin3 to come out on Wii, which is scheduled for end of this month. After this there's only Bomberman!! Hmm, I wonder if it's online on the Wii Shop Channel already...
