The pricing for Wii Fit for Europe is in. The 'game', along with the accompanying Balance Board, will carry an estimated retail price of £69.99.
On the other side of the channel (and the Irish Sea, if you're feeling thorough) gamers will be paying €89.99 (a smidge less than the UK, at £68.15 by conversion rates at the time of press).
In case you missed it last week, we're getting the product on April 25th. While SPOnG's glad to see that we'll be getting a big release before our fatter friends over the pond, we're a bit concerned that Nintendo thinks we'll need it first. Does Ninty know something about European health problems that we don't? We're hoping that the company just needs a bit more time to make the Balance Board a mite sturdier for the US...

me too that does sounds rather expensive. £59.99 should have be the maximum price they should have charged.

too much, far too expensive.
I now will not buy this and neither will millions of other potential customers.
well done nintendo, you are starting to suck again.
this on top of pay to play!
do you think we're made of money? if i was, i would have bought a PS3.

RRP is rarely what things sell for so I'm guessing £50 to £60 on amazon.co.uk and play.com? That still seems like a lot though - what was the cost in Japan?
