Having sold over 1.4 million units in Japan since its launch on December 1, 2007, Wii Fit is a hot item. During the Game Developers Conference in February Nintendo of America confirmed a release date of May 19, but the company never announced pricing details. Today Nintendo of America said it would sell Wii Fit (Balance Board included) for $89.99.

The game features over 40 yoga, aerobics, strength training and balance activities, and "provides consumers with a fun, easy and affordable way to incorporate exercise into their daily routines." Don't be fooled into thinking Wii Fit will actually make you fit, however. Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto said the goal of the product is simply to make you "aware of your body."

Along with pricing, Nintendo also announced a special deal for New York customers who pre-purchase the game from the Nintendo World Store in Rockefeller Plaza. From April 18-20, the first 1,000 consumers who place a $5 deposit for Wii Fit will receive a limited edition Wii Fit T-shirt featuring the image and reproduced autograph of Mr. Miyamoto.
