Nintendo is continuing to support one of the fastest growing genres on the market today, by expanding their Wii Fit license to include a new range of activities with Wii Fit Plus. Not only will the Wii Fit Plus contain all of the original activities found in the previous game, but it also adds more, plus a few new features that are sure to make the workout you design better for you.

The workout game will add 15 new balance style games (like riding a Segway on a beach) and six new strength and yoga activities. But Wii Fit Plus isn't just about the new activities. Added features include the ability to mix which strength and yoga activities they prefer on a given day, as well as give more detail about how much time they want to spend working out or what areas they want to improve. And given these constraints, Wii Fit Plus will provide a group of activities to maximize your workout.

The Wii Fit Plus will also estimate the number of calories burned during activities, as well as give you the ability to weigh your dogs and cats. And for those of you who already have a Wii Balance Board, the game will be sold stand-alone as well as with the board for those just entering the Wii-exercise arena. Expect to see both packages this Fall.
