The Hot Game, Wii Fit, Is Coming Soon

The fact that people in Europe are going crazy over the Wii Fit game has people in the US chomping at the bit to get one. They have to wait as it doesn't come out until May 21st.

Pocket-lint writes the following about sales of the game in the United Kingdom:

"Here in the UK, it has already outstripped all previous records on Play.com by selling out the entire pre-order allocation in one day leaving the online retailer 'overwhelmed' by demand."

Here's a description of the game, which is aimed at keeping users in-shape, from the Nintendo site:

"The active-play phenomenon started by Wii Sports now spreads to your whole body thanks to the pressure-sensitive Wii Balance Board (name not final), which comes packed with Wii Fit. The board is used for an extensive array of fun and dynamic activities, including aerobics, yoga, muscle stretches and games. Many of these activities focus towards providing a "core" workout, a popular exercise method that emphasizes slower, controlled motions. Family members will have fun staying active and talking about and comparing their results and progress on a new channel on the Wii Menu."
