Wii Fit U Free Trial, Miiverse Gym and More Revealed

Nintendo have outlined plans for the launch of Wii Fit U, with a free trial available and the Wii Fit Meter.

The new Wii Fit Meter accessory measures a wide range of attributes including calories burned, steps taken, target calories, time, temperature, MET and elevation difference.

To start players off on an HD exercise journey, Wii Fit U will be available as a free download between 1st November 2013 and 31st January 2014 - when activated, the game will be available to try for a free 31 day trial period. To unlock the rest of the game, players can purchase a Wii Fit Meter from stores.

If you don't wish to purchase one, the normal download version of the game will be available  from 1st February 2014.

There'll also be a packaged version on 6th December, which will be available in two bundles - the game and Wii Fit Meter, and another that includes the Balance Board.

Wii Fit U contains 77 different activities, 19 new training activities with some taking advantage of the GamePad controller. There'll be new dance routines like hip-hop, locking, salsa, together with custom workouts.

Those wanting to take the exercise further can also join a Miiverse Gym Community to share tips with other players, or even create a closed community to share results with selected friends.
