Prepare for confusion.
Classic Nintendo went and dropped a Nintendo Direct on us tonight, the main subject Wii Fit U.
There’s some good news here with Nintendo offering a multitude of ways to get into the game. From November 2nd you will be able to download Wii Fit U from the Wii U eShop as a free trial. This free trial will last one month from the download date and you can get a months access to the game for free until January 31st.
If you like the game you can purchase a Fit Meter and upon syncing the accessory the game will unlock fully. All 77 different activities, including 19 brand new training activities will be available both during the trial and after you purchase the Fit Meter. The Fit Meter will be $29.95AU in Australia and $39.95NZ in New Zealand.
If you’re keen to just buy the game with no trial or don’t want a Fit Meter the game will be available at retail and from the eShop on February 1st.
So this is all a little confusing, so lets work it out in a list.
Yeah Nintendo love to make things simple. Oh yeah Nintendo revealed some new features about the Fit Meter in the Nintendo Direct but after writing all that I’m going to bed.
Update: Article has been updated with Australian release dates and prices.
