Trivia[]
- Wii Fit is supposedly the first computer game in the history of video games which has to be played barefoot. The reason for this lies in the safe use of the Wii Balance Board. Only the use bare soles of the feet over enough traction without the risk of slipping. Nintendo advertises a barefoot only use for the Board as can be seen in all official promotional videos and ads. While exercise in socks is possible the slipping risk would lead to unwanted legal obligations. Shoes could potentially damage the board. (Source: user manual)
- A sequel was released by the name of Wii_Fit_Plus. It contains all mini games and exercises of Wii Fit, plus several significant improvements.
