    Only difference is the colour, black or white.

    Most prices for a wii bundle with wii fit board seems to about the £160 mark (NEW).
    Mansion TV. Avoid at all cost's :j
  • If you want to play the Wii Fit Plus game you need any Wii console and a balance board (does not have to be Nintendo)
    The balance board for the Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus games is the same. But I have a cheaper non-Nintendo one that works fine!
    You can play with any controller and nunchucks - it does not need to have Motionplus controllers.

    Oh boy now I am confused :D what sort of non nintendo do I need please all the wii consoles seem very expensive I just want to use the balance board to try and get fit for summer thanks very much
  • Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, I'll try again.

    What you need:
    Nintendo Wii (any colour, any age, but only Nintendo make these)
    Wii Fit Plus game (the disc that you put in your Wii)
    Balance board (any brand, it doesn't have the be the official Nintendo Wii Fit board)
    Wii controller (you should get one with your Wii so don't worry about that)


    I have a few questions for you.
    Does it need to be Wii Fit Plus or can it just be Wii Fit?
    Are you going to use your Wii console for anything else?
    Do you mind buying things second hand?

    If you want to use the balance board, then any game that supports it will do.

    Btw, just a bit off-topic, the white Wii has slightly different kit inside to the other colours. It can be hacked to play DVDs, whilst the others cannot.
