Nintendo had a smashing success with Wii Sports as it bringing in some innovation and drew in a crowd of gamers that you would typically not expect. Now Nintendo has unveiled a new game that will rock the market in 2008.
Wii Fit is the name of the new game from Nintendo that will be released next year for Nintendo's hit console, Wii. This new game picks up where Wii Sports left off and features eastern-style exercises such as Yoga and feature exercise activities with soccer and other activities.

The game is being designed by the same person, Miyamoto, that is behind the recent Mario and Zelda games which have a bigger appeal to the hard core gamer base. However, this title is far from that and has it's focus on bringing in more people to the Wii that usually wouldn't see themselves playing video games.
The game features one major advantage over Wii Sports which is that it calculate BMI (Body Mass Index) and other information about you such as you balance and then makes the activity suitable for you. These activities are suppose to be done regularly and it is suppose to keep you in shape. Nintendo officials have said that playing Wii Fit as it is intended would only take 15minutes a day.

So how will it be able to do all of this? Well, Nintendo has unveiled a new accessory called the "Wii Balance Board", which is a wireless scale with sensors that track your information. This along with the Wiimote and Nunchuck which would make this game extremely interactive.
Pricing and Release Date for the title are still no available, only that it will come in early 2008. The game should be a success much like Nintendo's Brain Age, Wii Sports, Cooking Games and other unique titles that the other consoles just can't provide.
