Heralded by Nintendo as being able to "turn your living room into your own personal gym", Wii Fit will be jogging its way into Australian retailers on May 8. The bundle includes a custom Wii Balance Board peripheral and software which will allow stereotypically sedentary gamers to perform over 40 different exercises across four different categories, including balance games, yoga, muscle workouts, and aerobic exercises.
The board is also capable of giving users a detailed analysis of their body mass index (BMI) and calculating their centre of gravity. Like other Nintendo products such as Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain for the DS handheld, completing Wii Fit tests and providing details about your body will provide the players with a calculated Wii Fit Age, as well as track and display your exercise progress.
The game includes an on-screen instructor, designed to help guide you through performing exercise correctly. Nintendo is determined not to make it all joyless hard work though, including mini games such as returning soccer balls using your head, ski jumping, and tightrope balancing.
And in a rare occurrence, Australian Wii owners will actually receive this Wii game before the US. Wii Fit ships to US stores on May 19, and April 25 in the UK.
Wii Fit will be available in Aussie stores from May 8 at a recommended retail price of AU$149.95

It think this is quite a good idea, maybe make the wii balance-board softer though?
