It doesn't come with the original Wii Fit software, it's got a bunch of different exercises on. Kinda like how Wii Sports Resort is to Wii Sports.

Re: Wii Fit Plus question

It's essentially a sequel to the original and brand new content. It doesn't include the original game and should be available with and without the balance board. If you want both games best thing would be to buy the original with the balance board and Wii Fit Plus on it's own.

Actually, I don't want to confuse matters here, but this is according to Amazon's own listing on the Wii Fit Plus:

Amazon.co.uk Review
The game that started the interactive fitness craze returns with new exercises, new games and a new way to keep fit. Wii Fit Plus contains all the features and workouts from the original game but adds some great new features that make keeping in shape easier and more fun.

Wii Fit Plus - Game Only (Wii): Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games

So if they're right, you won't need the original Wii Fit game at all, just wait for the Wii Fit Plus and Balance Board combination.
Can anyone else confirm this?

Derek

Yeah thanks for that
So it sounds like that that the Wii Fit Plus software is the same but has been "updated"???

Really need to find out from someone who has both copies. I thought it would say something in the customers reviews on Amazon?!?!?

Re: Wii Fit Plus question

You'll struggle to find anybody with Wii fit plus. It isnt out til Nov.....

I think its intended to suck in those that have the original version (hence its available without the board) but cant see many buying this then the old version as there would be no point.
