Advantages: easy to use, great value for money, can be used during gameplay, USB connection Disadvantages: cannot be charged from the mains
to its popularity in my household we were getting through bucketloads of batteries for the Wii balance board. The board takes 4 AA batteries and whilst they were lasting reasonably well, the sheer amount of use that the board was getting meant that it was costing us a fortune.
Looking on amazon we found the MadCatzWiiFit Battery Pack. At a reduced price of £4 it seemed incredibly cheap and we half expected it to be useless. The battery pack is basically 4 rechargable batteries contained in a plastic case which allows easy charging without fiddling around with individual batteries.
When it arrived we saw that the battery pack was fairly compact and not much bigger than 4 AA batteries put together. It was the same grey colour as the bottom of the Wii Balance board and fitted perfectly into the section under the board that you would ...
Advantages: great for weightloss, fun for all the family, improves posture, balance and health Disadvantages: expensive, can only register up to 8 family members
adaptations you can make in terms of colours in your own profile and you can use buttons to zoom in and even view your personal trainer from a different angle (I walked in once to find my little brother chuckling as he changed the view of his female personal trainer to view her from behind as she did press-ups!) The colours are bright and attractive and the graphics are impressive considering the main focus of Nintendo is interactivity!

Advantages: Easy way to keep fit. Disadvantages: Can't think of any.
but it was helping me lose weight and I could see myself getting thinner. In the rest of my review I will review as many of the features of the WiiFit as I can, hopefully without boring you out of buying it!
Creating a Profile
It was back in December when I created my profile but I think it's just a case of selecting your Mii (a character you create in the Wii which can be used in other games, including Wii Sports) then letting it do a body test for the first time (you might be able to skip this - I'm not sure). Whatever it is you do, I know it's easy because both my gran and papa have created profiles themselves so it can't be too difficult.
Daily Tests
Every day when you go on, your encouraged to take a body test. This measures your weight and BMI and tells you your centre of gravity. Whats that? Your centre of gravity is ...
