According to Nintendo, the original Wii Fit has sold through more than 700,000 units in Australia (according to GfK Australia). Wii Fit Plus, an upgrade to Wii Fit, has everything that Wii Fit offered plus more. New features include the option to customise and design your own work out, additional exercises, estimates of calories burned, 15 new balance games, and an option to weigh your baby, cat, and even your dog.

Choose from a variety of specialised work out routines that focus on your individual fitness goals or target areas. Wii Fit Plus can recommend an appropriate work out for you, let you do some gentle relaxing exercise, or maybe work on your tummy hips and thighs.

You can even set your own work out routines based on how much time you have available, 20, 30, 40 minutes for example. Wii Fit Plus offers more customisation and personalisation. After you have designed your own work out with Wii Fit Plus, the seamless flow of the exercises will make it easier than ever for you to maintain your exercise routine.

For newcomers to Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus will come packaged with the Wii Balance board accessory for $159.95. Those who already own Wii Fit can purchase the standalone Wii Fit Plus software for $29.95. Wii Fit Plus (with board or standalone) is available starting October 15, 2009.
