You had to expect as much. Soon after the Wii released, we were uptooureyeballs in knockoffs. Now that Wii Fit has been in existence for a year (and incredibly popular during the entirety of that time), the knockoffs are emerging onto the marketplace. Enter the Wü 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.
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.
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...
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?
