By Thom Dinsdale If you’re from the UK then you’ll know that trying to find a genuine copy of Wii Fit is like nailing jelly to a wall. The trouble is, with demand being so high and Nintendo so intent on teasing consumers, the darn things fly off the shelves faster than stockists can sit them on the shelves.

Whatever position many traditional gamers might have taken against the likes of Wii Fit quickly shifted when Nintendo revealed Wii Music (for the second time) at this year's E3. To many, it was little more than a pointless exercise in noisemaking; not a "game" at all. But Nintendo is of the b...

I just bought a new Wii Fit today and set it up and everything went great. The rest of my family put in their Mii and did the body test and it functioned fine. When I went to do some training and it said to turn on the power button, it wouldn't turn on. I synced it with the Wii but no luck. I'm...

By Brian Lam Balance games are parlor games that encourage you to develop dynamic control in shifting your body weight. One game had me smashing soccer balls with my head while dodging cleats (hated it) but the best were the ski jumps, slalom and snowboarding emulators. (I could play those all day.)

While I was eager to try the games in each of the four categories (Yoga, Muscle, Aerobic and Balance), Wayne seemed to be comfortable in the Balance section. In particular he has grown fond of Tightrope Tension which he now seems to zip across while I plod along behind. Stop Mii!
