The Wii Fit Plus was introduced in October 2009 and proved to be a massive hit during last year’s holiday season. Once 2010 came around, it appeared this fitness gaming device lost some of its steam. Now the Wii Fit Plus appears to be picking up momentum again. There’s one major reason why the Wii Fit Plus has remained popular with seniors and every other age group — one of the most common New Year’s resolutions is to lose weight. The Wii Fit Plus allows weight-conscious gamers to get exercise without leaving the home. Also, at a price of $89.99, it proves to be less expensive than a gym membership or gym equipment. It isn’t just America that Nintendo is advertising the Wii Fit Plus as a major component of a weight loss regime. New moms have been targeted in Japan and senior citizens have been specifically targeted in the United Kingdom. Even though the Wii Fit Plus is a year old, its proven longevity and popularity still make it an excellent purchase to keep your New Year’s resolution on track.
