The Wii Balance Board–similar to the Wii itself–was set to change the way people interacted with their video games. A new peripheral to change the perspective of the Wii, more specifically to help people get in shape and to have fun while they do it. What better way to help people get fit than to add the drive of getting the high score or winning? These are all great ideas, but like many first generations, it failed to impress and was met with mediocre reviews. Nintendo opted to give it another go taking the most common criticisms of the first Wii Fit game and improving upon the formula. Lucky for us, we had the chance to try out this new iteration, and so far, we have nothing but good things to say.
