The Japanese launch date for Wii Fit Plus has been announced: October 1st. While a US date is not yet available, a similar time period is expected so as to take advantage of the holiday season.
Surprisingly, the thing that caught even more attention than the release date was the issue of its price. Bundles with the Balance Board cost 9,800 Yen, which is about $104. That is pricey but about what one would expect for something like that. On its own, however, the Wii Fit Plus will only cost 2,000 Yen, which is the equivalent of around $21. This is incredibly cheap for a new, First Party Game and it will be interesting to see if the low price carries over into other territories.
If so, then it will certainly be worth it for those who have the first Wii Fit and Balance Board to get the new one… assuming the game itself is good, of course.
