Wü Fit: The ugly, functional cousin of Wii Fit

The crazy thing about this is that the included board is apparently compatible with Wii Fit. And that's really all you'll get with this package, a board and some odd packaging, by the way. Check out a video of the unboxing after the break.

That's actually a pretty creative way to get the look of the double i's.

Sneaky bastards! There are just way too many Wii rip-offs out there.

i can see a lawsuit comin pretty quick, there is way to much similarity in the Wii logo.

Nah, that WÏ‹ thing has being around for ages now, I have a WÏ‹ universal power adapter for when I moved, and all it consisted of, was a travel adapter which was UK-US, and an AC adapter, which looked like a US plug, so I don't see what the need for the adapter was. But true enough, I bought it off ebay and I wouldn't dare use it to power my Wii.

I bet that target in the middle of the board is a pinhole camera, streaming upskirts to a seedy asian website somewhere.

Kohler: lol!
How much does this thing cost? If it's way (way!) cheaper then the original I might actually consider it. Need me a bas drum for Wii Music, not so much interested in Wii Fit...

I read at vgchartz forum that it was $95... even more expensive than wii fit. I don't know how true is that though.
LordD @ Dec 17th 2008 6:16PM
Well, that would be one really expensive peripheral-basdrum... =)

While the Wu is clearly ripping off the Wii logo and the Wii Fit box art, it seems to be the first fully functional third party Balance Board controller. Nothing new there, really. Third Party controllers have been around a long time. I'm interested in how the lasting quality of the board and it's price. It seems to work great, but will it take the same abuse down the road?

Always buy Nintendo brand shit, they kiss your feet with good customer service.
