Nintendo offering Wii Fit U for free

Try the fitness game for free for 31 days

Posted on

Nintendo has announced plans for Wii U owners to have a chance to download a 31-days trial version of Wii Fit U for free.

The 31-days trial version of Wii Fit U will be available to download free of charge from Nintendo eShop between 1st November 2013 and 31st January 2014 and will work for 31 days from the day it is first played. Users who want to continue using Wii Fit U beyond the 31-days trial period can unlock the time restriction by synching a Fit Meter accessory (available at retail) with their trial version of the Wii Fit U software. This will allow them to continue playing Wii Fit U for an unlimited time. The Fit Meter will be released on 1st November in a choice of colours including Black, Red and Green.

The Fit Meter accessory is an activity meter that tracks a wide range of everyday activity. It records not only the number of steps a user has taken, but it also takes into account the intensity of those steps. The Fit Meter also measures altitude, so wearers get credit for climbing stairs or walking uphill. All of these data points combined provide users with an accurate overview of their movements, including a detailed calculation of the number of calories they burned. This data can then be transferred wirelessly to Wii Fit U via the Wii U GamePad.

Wii Fit U features many of the strength training, yoga and fun fitness games that have made the Wii Fit series popular. Plus, there are new games that combine the Wii Balance Board and Wii U GamePad, including new dance routines.

For those who choose not to download the 31-days trial version, on 6th December Wii Fit U launches as a packaged game in two sets, one including the game disc and Fit Meter, the other including the game disc, Fit Meter and Wii Balance Board.
