Where to get Wii Fit US?

[Rossco]

Hi there, simple enough, wheres the best/cheapest place to get a US Wii Fit and balance board thingy. Cheers.

[Rossco]

Or Freeloader? Is that an option? Wii Fit seems to be quite expensive to get from America now, shipping rates are through the roof. £62 + £39 deliery on VG+!!

Get the US game solus, and buy a balance board from the UK on eBay/somewhere else.

Yeah, that was going to be my suggestion...

Install the Homebrew Channel and Gecko OS. Google how to do this, it's easy, and you just need an SD card and a copy of Twilight Princess. Gecko OS is like Freeloader, but it's just an app you run on your Wii to play any region games.

Then buy a PAL Wii Fit, obviously.

I thought PAL Wii Fit didn't work on Gecko, so wasn't sure about Wii Fit Plus.

That's why I didn't suggest it, anyway, I could be wrong.

Yes it does. I've been using my sisters PAL verison Wii Fit on my NTSC Wii via HBC and Gecko.

Also, you don't need the Twighlight Princess hack anymore.

Oh I didn't even think about just getting a Balance board from here and US game! And Wii Fit Plus would work on that too as I might just get that instead? Can you buy the balance board seperately then here?

Cheers guys

I did that already and not open the wii fit yet as I have been salsa dancing.

I didn't realise you meant the original Wii Fit, don't buy that! WF+ has all the content from WF with some extra stuff.

You want a UK balance board from eBay or somewhere, which can be bought separately (or you may get lucky and find someone clearing out old Wii Fit bundle stock for cheap) and a US copy of Wii Fit Plus.

Thanks for the help people! I also need a WF+ PAL for someone else which I've found for ?85 with accessories pack here on Simply Games. Does that seem good?

Probably just get two of them and a US copy of WF+ from VG+ for ?15 and try to punt the spare PAL copy for similar price?

[toythatkills]

You can surely get WF+ cheaper than £85. The accessory pack will be useless, don't pay extra for that!

[Rossco]

Seems like £80 is the going price everywhere. A few places have it listed at £70 but not in stock. More than likely put their price back up when it's in stock I guess.
