Wii Fit or Wii Family Trainer

early days I know but was wondering anyone seen or even tried out wii family trainer (due out 26 sept)

was wondering if worth selling on my wii fit (which has not been used for months) and getting the family trainer.

from the demos I've seen family trainer look slike more fun and can be played with several players at same time.

    If the Wii fit hasnt been used in months, what makes you think the family trainer will be used either?! You will, at least, get good money for the Wii Fit as they are still sold out in most shops. May be worth selling on eBay, you may even get more than you paid!

    hoping family trainer will be used more as several players can play at same time and the games look good.

    problem with wii fit was with 3 of us it took ages to takes turns, for 30mins exercise you'd need to set aside 1.5 hours!

  • Looks to me like a cheap and cheerful knock-off of Wii Fit, just made in an attempt to cash-in on the success of Wii Fit. Some previews on various sites suggest that Family Trainer is just some old fitness games that have been given a lick of paint and repackaged with a pressure sensitive mat.

    Well my friend pre-ordered hers from Amazon and this kids love it! More of a family game than Wii Fit, but amazing fun!

    I had to order a copy for my kids too for Christmas fun! Found this good little website http://www.familytrainerwii.com/price-comparison/ to find the cheapest price, £38 inc delivery! Wooo! :money:

    hi

    we have both and both and are good as each other, i would say the games on the trainer are more fun and geared towards kids, but i had good fun the other night canoeing trying to "clear" my level, only thing with the trainer is that it tends to move around our laminate flooring quite a lot.

    i pre ordered mine from play ages ago and went through quidco.

    hopefully we;ll get more reviews now that the trainer is out. I sold me wii fit last week but really want to be sure the trainer is good before I buy it.

    My local toysrus are going to have it on demo this week so will go and try out out first.
