Users will also be able to choose from specialized workout routines that focus
on all-around individual personal fitness goals or certain target areas. And
with the addition of activities like Skateboarding and Rhythm Kung Fu, players
will be using the Wii Balance Board accessory in a variety of new and fun ways. on screen. Although this limits the majority of the activities to a single
player orientation, various activities throughout the game support up to eight
players in alternating play.
To use Wii Fit Plus players import their Miis from their Wii system, set
up profiles, establish a current physical baseline, set fitness goals, and
embark on a routine to reach them. Wii Fit Plus tracks your usage, weight
and progress towards your goal over time, giving you a status report as you
start each session. At any time players can choose whatever activity they want,
whether exercise or balance game, and as they progress in these they will level
up in each, gaining points, setting high scores and unlocking more activities.
Personalization Option Via 'The Locker Room'
The original Wii Fit was designed to have something for everyone. Now
Wii Fit Plus raises the bar by providing users with personalization options
that allow them to find/create a specific workout routine that is exactly right
for them, their family and their lifestyle. One example of this is "The Locker
Room." Easily accessible throughout the game, here players can choose from a
number customizable options that allow them to maximize their time with Wii
Fit Plus without having to navigate through the game menu while in the
middle of a workout. In essence this allows players to become their own personal
trainer. Customization options available within The Locker Room include:
preprogrammed and timed Wii Fit Plus Routines; My Routine, where you
choose your own set of activities, optimizing their length and area of the body
to be focused on; and Favorites, a notation of activities you frequent, which
provides fast access to exercises you enjoy doing the most.
Addition Yoga and Strength Exercises
Designed as an addition to the already substantial list of focused, physical
exercises available in Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus contains six new and
challenging strength and yoga activities. But continuing with the game's
commitment to personalization, the key to these additions is not in their
volume, but in how the player chooses to mix and match them. Do them in the
order they are presented, or combine them in whatever order you want. The choice
is yours. The player even has the ability to repeat the ones that he/she
prefers, maximizing attention and effort where it is needed most. In addition,
for those to whom time is a commodity, you can now omit unnecessary interludes
between exercises, making for a continuous, timesaving routine.
A Wealth of New Balance Games
Regardless of the considerable fitness factor packed into Wii Fit Plus,
the Nintendo brand is and will always be all about having fun. With that in mind
Wii Fit Plus also comes packed with 15 new, entertaining balance games
suitable for every member of the family. Just a few of those that players can
expect to see are: Juggling; Skateboarding; Snowball Fight; Obstacle Course, a
log-leaping, cannonball-evading event reminiscent of what Nintendo icon Mario
must go through; and Perfect 10, a balance game designed to promote a
combination of physical and mental health. In this final example the player's
Mii is situated between multiple color-coated balls, each showing specific
numbers, with the goal to swing your hips, hula style, in different directions
to tap out a total of ten as many times as possible before time runs out.
