Wii Fit U | OT | Don't Forget to Breathe!

Ah, probably goes away after the trial period ends.

I hope.

You and me both.

I think it won't, because in the instruction manual it says if you ever unlink all Fit Meters from your Trial Version, it will revert to free trial status and (provided your 31 days have ended) stop working until you sync a Fit Meter to it again.

I assume this is the only difference in the Free and Paid versions of the digital version and that it's done this way so that you can't use a single Fit Meter to unlock multiple Trial Versions for your friends, etc.

Exercise is pointless. I just need to stop consuming calories! No way in hell can I burn enough calories to lose weight.

Hopefully I can stick with this. Fit meter arrives Monday.
 
I lost over 7 pounds since the last time I played Wii Fit. That's probably from me being sick recently.

The grounded V was harder to do than it looked and I've heard people say that the core luge killed their abs. The dance routines look like they were motion captured and look really creepy as a result. I'm sure I looked silly doing the Hula.

The trampoline game was really fun, by the way.

How are people posting screenshots of the game?! The game doesn't let me post screenshots to Miiverse or via the Internet Browser.

Someone earlier said you can't post screens until after the intro stuff. I posted mine using the internet browser.

I went to two Targets today and both of them were sold out of Activity Meters. Went to the the GameStop at the mall one of the Targets was located and no luck. Granted the GameStop guy did say they had only gotten like ten and just sold out yesterday. Then this:

Sold out on Amazon

Did Nintendo purposefully under ship again??

EDIT: in the US btw...

I got mine from newegg. Should check that our since it comes with the free shipping and no tax for me.

I was looking at my Fit Meter and noticed it says I'm 156 ft lower in altitude than when I set it to 0 in this exact room, so it seems the weather can have a fairly significant effect on the altimeter and resetting the altimeter by syncing daily or manually resetting to 0 on a daily basis is probably a good idea.

The game was smart enough to not count any of that as actual descending as I was walking though.

Define "intro stuff." It's still not working for me and I've done my first body check and all...
I'm not sure. I did the profile creation, initial body test, and some training, as well as syncing my meter and joining a gym, all before even trying to take a screenshot.
Do we know how many days the Fit Meter can go without being sync'd? I'm away for 4 weeks at Xmas.
METs/Altitude will store approximately 7 days worth before deleting the oldest data, and steps/calories will store approximately 28 days worth.
 
Joined up to the EU Community. Had a day out in London yesterday with the girlfriend, managed about 9,000 steps and after going on the London Eye about 300ft in altitude.

I guess retailers just didnt order enough

The general consensus on neogaf regarding wii fitu was that it will bomb horribly because of ipad apps.

Maybe retailers thought similarly?

I hope Nintendo will release a Fit Meter companion App for the 3DS at some point. Let's say you`re out of town and you want to sync your steps. Just sync it with your 3DS. I'd guess we'd need an Account system for that though.

Thing is pretty cool. I wish they offered some more hardcore muscle building training stuff. i mean theres not even a push up or sit up exercise here which is weird

Eh? There were push ups in the original Wii Fit, so I'm sure this one has them. In that game they were split into two exercises: Push Up with Side Plank, and Push Up Challenge (which I think had to be unlocked by doing well on the Side Plank version).

I really like the luge event. In order to achieve top speed you need to hold onto the balance board and lay towards your back. That puts a lot of pressure on your abs.

Apparently, the Wii Fit U meter isn't coming until sometime in december, here in Norway :( Means I can't start the game, right? Since I have to sync a Wii Fit U meter within a month? Or, say I get the meter in 6 weeks, does that just mean the game won't work for two weeks?

Can't you order the fit meter from Amazon?

There are plank exercises and I'm pretty sure there is a situp one. For a challenging sit up exercise that destroys your abs, play the luge game. Its essentially a 2 minute constant crunch you have to hold.

Don't know what retailer you're checking, but Cdon apparently has it.

I used prisjakt to check it, and it appeared that CDON had it, but when I went to their page, it says they don't have it yet. Sneaky bastards.

Wait. I just checked again. Yesterday they had a "alert me when we recieve this" type page, but today I can buy it. Thanks for the tip! :)

tried it out yesterday, and am enjoying it.

If anything it teaches me some helpful exercises that I will be able to do at home or while traveling.

Will buy the Fit Meter.

The game also happens to be one of the ones perfectly suited for digital purchase.

So I decided to order it from the UK

I think you can share your progress (records of weight and stuff)
 

Plinko

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Anybody else's Wii Fit Meter not registering steps? Mine worked fine, got to 131 steps, and then even if I shake it hard it won't record anything.

Lol at the tennis. If this game is exactly the same game in Wii Sports Club, I'm doommmeeeeeddddd

Nah, this "tennis" from wii fit u is too simplified. Its even more simple than the original Wii sports tennis.

I bet the wii sports club will be much better than this

I think you can share your progress (records of weight and stuff)

Well, yeah... but where do i see the miiverse posts from my gym?
 
Tried golf for the first time, wow, got the right swing in 5 tries, all the next were in the hole zone,
i should not try real golf, I'll be disappointed...

Luge is great but I haven't found the best position yet, my abs didn't work but my tights did hurt...
Sit on the balance board and hold on to each side.
Lean all the way back so that your should blades are a few inches from the ground, keep your legs straight with your heels about six inched from the ground and point your toes. Hold that position while playing. Also, I believe the muscles you felt working are your hip flexors, that's normal. These get worked during sit-ups and crunches as well.

Have fun.
 
FYI, I couldn't find the Fit Meter ANYWHERE in Edmonton. EB Games, Walmart, Toys R Us, random stores in West Edmonton Mall, no one had it. So fuck it, I just ordered two off Amazon.

I'm about to go on this search in San Antonio, wish me luck. I'm postponing my morning run in hopes I can get it in this evening with the fit meter.

Look in favourite communities.

I'm disappointed in private conmunities' wrong data and lack of shared scoreboards. But the EuroGAF Miiverse board is quite nice.

METs/Altitude will store approximately 7 days worth before deleting the oldest data, and steps/calories will store approximately 28 days worth.

Thanks!
