aomorigum 0 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 So much demand for that stuff I don't reckon you'll get it below the labelled price unless it's 2nd hand. Yesterday Wiifit was 19800 yen on amazon (actual price 8800 yen) Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 yeah, I had a look online and no discounts at all. I think I'll just go to yamada denki and get points from the purchase. they had the wiifit in a shop I was in yesterday. I can't figure out if the snowboard/ski game is included or not Link to post Share on other sites
66jzmstr 0 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I think skiing is just a mini-game that comes with the disk you get with the board, I believe. I don't believe there's any snowboarding in it, but it was mentioned elsewhere today that EA is working on a new snowboarding game. No further info as to whether it's another SSX game or what console though. I was a little disappointed to learn that the Wii Fit board is only 21 inches wide. I wasn't expecting to replicate my 24" stance when I ride, but a little wider would've been nicer. Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I've seen a snowboarding vid online but I think it's slalom/free runs Link to post Share on other sites
69 5 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 All the games/exercises are included on the disc. Not sure about snowboarding (might need to "unlock it" within the game, but there's a skiing one that you can play right from the go. Just 1 slalom run actually takes a bit of getting used to. It said I was rubbish first time. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Snowboarding is in there, need to unlock it. Similar to the skiing just a downhill slalom course. Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 how do u unlock it? by winning at the skiing? Link to post Share on other sites
IIIII 2 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 It probably just unlocks more games as you progress. That's what usually happens in games like this. Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 It lasts about a minute - just the one run. Don't get this expecting a huge ski/snowboard game. (Though you can get SSX Blur for that) Link to post Share on other sites
66jzmstr 0 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 For the snowboarding, do you stand sideways (or control the board/Wii Fit sideways), or do you still stand and control just as you do when skiing? My fingers are crossed for the latter . . . Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Surely you point it at the tv and lean on it side to side. i saw a trailer on tv where that seemed to be the case. it'd be lame otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites

Looks very simple, but the controls should be fun, and there's definitely potential for something far more fleshed out. Thanks again! Link to post Share on other sites
igloo 3 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I wonder how much that will sell. Hard to even call it a game. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Expect it to sell A LOT. I think I read it shifted 300,000 in the first week. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Motorstorm on the PS3 is still the best game on that. Great game, but difficult! Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Great game indeed. Nothing comes close, and it was released a year ago! Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Remember - there ain't much competition for "Best Game" right now... 1 full year after the system was released. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Now that is a nerd. Any good games out now for me to pick up? Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 My friends daughter had some "Magic" game for the DS and showed me some tricks over new year. It was really good fun, still don't know how some of them worked. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Theres just so much stuff out on the DS now it's hard to keep track - and most of it seems to be non-games like that. It will be interesting to see what happens with the PSP in the coming year and beyond, though it seems to have got a sales increase with the thinner model. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Had a go on the Wii Fit, the skiing/boarding was actually quite good. More difficult than I expected. If they brought out SSX Tricky for Wii Fit I'd buy one. Link to post Share on other sites
