Wii Fit U is an exercise video game in development by Nintendo for the Wii U console, and is the successor to the Wii games Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus. Wii Fit U utilizes both the Wii Balance Board the Wii U GamePad in gameplay, and will be bundled with the Fit Meter, a pedometer accessory.
Gameplay
Like its predecessors Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus, Wii Fit U focuses on engaging the player in physical activities, including yoga and strength training, through use of the Wii Balance Board, a platform peripheral in which the player stands upon during play that measures both the player's weight and center of balance. Wii Fit U introduces activities that incorporate the Wii U GamePad into their gameplay, as well as activities that were featured in the previous games. Existing Wii Fit (Plus) owners can transfer all their save data and records into Wii Fit U.[1]
Wii Fit U is designed to be played with or without use of a television screen; the player can choose to view all action entirely on the Wii U GamePad touchscreen. All copies of Wii Fit U are bundled with a pedometer, called the Fit Meter,[2] which is carried while jogging or otherwise moving about the day. When the Fit Meter is placed near the Wii U GamePad, its data will be automatically uploaded via Infrared and saved to the Wii U.
