August 12, 2009 by The News Team Filed Under: Wii, Rumors

We've featured these marketing slides before, and they were 100% on the money. Even with that said, I'll still keep this marked as rumor. Following that first leak, another batch has popped up, and they're even more interesting!

No word on whether that bicycle game is from Nintendo or a third party, but it does look pretty interesting. Also, we were all guessing that we'd get a budget price for Wii Fit Plus, and it looks like that'll be the case! Huge thanks to Greenyz for the heads up.

"Over 60 different game modes!

$99.99 for the new Wii Fit bundle! Good thing I already got mine. The fitness game looks fun but those are clearly not Nintendo's Mii Models in the screenshots.

"No more peripherals" my ass. I'll never believe a single thing Nintendo says ever again.

That cycling peripheral is pretty believable after how awesome-yet-totally-unrealistic cycling was in Wii Sports Resort. Bring on the pedalling!

Im guessing cycling is a third party as the characters aren't miis.
Nintendo wouldn't make this with out there trusty miis on the screen every step of the way.

There's a ton of reasons to call this fake or third party, and here they are:

*Character models: They aren't Miis. Well, some of them look like Miis but look closer and you'll see they aren't.
*Locations: The locations look like actual pictures of Grand Canyon and Monaco.
*BBQ: Looks like the WarioWare: Smooth Moves micro game. May be wrong.
*Human models: Compare top models to bottom models. A pretty significant difference.

The cycling is definitely third party. The characters aren't Miis.

30 bucks seems too much for WF+, from what I've seen; and 80 for the cycling too. Although the idea seems cool. The only problem I can see is finding a comfortable position to sit to play a bicycle game.

Punch out 2 is going to be awesome if the bicycle peripheral is used in the Doc Louis training segments. lol

I vehemently disagree that 30 is too much for Wii Fit Plus. I will gladly pay every penny.

Both of those slides are fake. However I wouldn't be surprised if by chance something within those slides are true, such as the price of the Wii Fit Plus game. The bicycling peripheral definitely won't happen though...not in the state that it is in that slide at least. A bicycle peripheral made by some third party that is compatible with Wii Sports Resort I could see happen, just like those paddles that third-party's made for the original Wii Sports (and the countless other peripherals they made for that game).

The bicycling game looks third-party.

And Wii Fit Plus standalone game on a budget??? Are you kidding me? That's a $10 rip-off considering other exercise media prices that are out there!

And what the hell?

Wii Fit Plus with Wii Balance Board is now $100 versus the previous $90???

I don't believe the second slide is real. If so it is clearly third party. Those are not Miis in the pics.

@WiiLikeSportz
I don't like how some exercises are reused from Wii Fit, and how it renders the first semi-useless (for both using some same exercises and providing an schedule program which can't be added to the first game's exercises).
I'll probably buy it too, but I still think it is a bit too expensive for what it is. I totally understand you,though.
Maybe I'm thinking too much on how it is expensive for me, Brazilian.

I might buy the bicycle game if it's true.

BBQ Mode FTW. XD


Actually, it sorta looks like a new Pilotwings. A bit anyway. With the Flying thing in Hawaii and all. XD
