Featuring a wealth of new and exciting activities - many of which have been built around the Wii U's bespoke functionality - Wii Fit U is the best title in the franchise to date.

Easily the most complete, balanced Wii Fit game to date.

Fit Meter; Gym Communities keep you motivated; New Dance and Balance Games; Robust and customizable routines

Have to unlock harder exercises; Too much stopping during workouts

Don't let Wii Fit U's cute, clean aesthetic fool you. When you turn it up a notch, Nintendo's fitness game will have you breathing hard. Some of the options seem superfluous, and the gym functionality is totally ignorable, but it's still a fun, effective way to get your sweat on.

Great exercise variety; Reasonable goal setting; Fun walking meter

Poor online gyms; Balance board issues

When the Nintendo Wii was released eight years ago, everything about it seemed new. It was something you'd look at with awe. But when the Wii U hit stores, it seemed both too familiar and too complex. The bad news is that Wii Fit U can also seem too familiar.

Nice for casual fitness fans; orienteering is fun; meter lets you go mobile

Not for hardcore fitness fans; can be confusing; needs audible training

Do you even lift, bro? If the answer to that is "no," and you've got big bones and a crummy metabolism, get ready for your Balance Board to call you names like "overweight" and "obese.

The variety of activities and games; Great GamePad integration; Fit Meter makes you forget you're working out

Inaccurate BMI test; Online features don't add anything; More of the same exercises

Parents need to know that Wii Fit U is a collection of mini-games that encourages players to be active in front of the TV to perform various tasks in the game. There is support for an optional, wearable pedometer, too.

This unintimidating fitness product is targeted at families who want to start getting active. With a friendly interface, a useful tool for tracking fitness outside of the game and an impressive selection of activities, it offers a baseline incentive for people looking to get off the couch.

This is a great fitness game. I have two 13 year old boys and a 17 year old daughter. I tried the game first and liked it, even though my balance is terrible and it rated me older than my physical age. Once my kids tried the game, and saw how cute and fun it is, it's been in daily use.
