There was a lot of buzz about Nintendo's weird new foot/exercise peripheral during this year's E3, but we haven't heard much about Wii Fit since then. Now, Famitsu's Express Blog gives us a Japanese release date and price, straight from the Fall 2007 Nintendo Conference in Japan.
Just in time for the Holidays, Japan gets the Wii Fit bundle (game and board controller included) on December 1st, for the price of 8,800 yen (just over $75). That's a small price to pay to start working of those post-Thanksgiving pounds.
Also, could this be the new Wii SKU we've been hearing about?
Famitsu also managed to snap a shot of Shiggy (Shigeru Miyamoto) demonstrating Wii Fit. See that picture after the jump.

I hate you I hate you I hate you so much. I can't wait for the Destructoid review.
Not to mention that when you mix the Wii Remote with the Balance Board you could create some innovate shit for sures. Someone call Tetsuya Mizuguchi, stat!
Have you ever seen those lame commercials where you plug in a skateboard to your TV, get on it and it gyrates, and lets you play some type of skate/snow/whateverboard game?
WTF. Not innovative.. I dont care if you had to play the next SMASH with it. I think in-game chat is innovative, though it's been around for years.
So why can't Nintendo do it?
Hmm.. sorry for the troll post but agro snail is agro.
Oh, exercise... did someone take away the outside? Then why am I exercising in FRONT of the tv?
theres a kitten stuck in a tree, bad traffic on I-95, and it looks like seasonal temps and partly cloudy skies over the weekend.
