Wii Fit Delayed Ever So Slightly

Nintendo has slightly delayed this week's release of Wii Fit, nudging the title from two days past its announced debut on Monday, May 19.

Though Nintendo launched the game at New York's Nintendo World Store yesterday (pictured left), the rest of the North America has to wait until Wednesday, May 21 to get its hands and feet on the $89.99 fitness game and its weight-sensitive balance board.

No reason was provided for the delay, though Shacknews can confirm that many retailers already have the much-anticipated fitness title sitting in their backrooms.

I got mine a couple weeks ago. Its quite good, I like it.

I had eye toy kinetic before. But this is so much better. at the start, the Wii kept critisising my posture, and knowing what was wrong I adjusted and I feel that I walk more straight and my back doesnt get sore anymore. I even lost some weight. Yoga has made me flexable enough to touch my toes for the first time in 15 years.

If you get into the game you can really have fun.

Also the rechargable battery thing the store will enevitably try to sell you is not needed, at least initially. Mine is used most days for ~60 mins and still has 4 bars.

I had thought this was already known? It was the date provided by Amazon when I preordered. They shipped mine out on Monday, and the estimated delivery date is Thursday (super saver shipping).
