Wii Fit U is an exergaming video game developed by Nintendo for the Wii U console, and is the successor to the Wii games Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus. Wii Fit U utilizes both the Wii Balance Board and the Wii U GamePad in gameplay, and is bundled with the newly introduced Fit Meter, an activity meter accessory. It was released in Japan on October 31, 2013, followed by North America and Europe one day later. It is also the only game on the system to support the balance board. The game was later succeeded by Ring Fit Adventure on the Nintendo Switch which includes two new accessories, the Ring-Con and Leg Strap. Gameplay Like its predecessors Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus, Wii Fit U focuses on engaging the player in physical activities, including yoga and strength training, through use of the Wii Balance Board, a platform peripheral upon which the player stands during play that measures the player's weight and center of balance. Wii Fit U introduces additional activities that add the Wii U GamePad into gameplay. Owners of Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus can transfer all saved data into Wii Fit U. Exercises are organized by category and by the amount of requisite exertion, measured in numerical values called "MET". Wii Fit U can display output on a television screen or only use its GamePad touchscreen. All retail copies of Wii Fit U are bundled with a foldable Wii U GamePad Stand and an activity meter (pedometer) called the Fit Meter, also available separately, which is carried while jogging or otherwise moving. The concept and overall design of the device are similar to the Pokéwalker released with Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. When the Fit Meter is placed near the GamePad, its data is transferred via infrared connection to the Wii U. Wii Fit U has all the exercises from Wii Fit Plus except the following: Segway Circuit Rhythm Parade Big Top Juggling Skateboard Arena Tightrope Tension Penguin Slide Snowboard Slalom Lotus Focus As well as merging the regular and Plus versions of Table Tilt, Balance Bubble, and Basic Run into single entries. Wii Fit U adds the following exercises: Dance Beginner Dance Hula Dance Jazz Dance Hip-Hop Locking Flamenco Salsa Burning Beats/Stamina Steps Aerobics Puzzle Squash Free Boxing Orienteering Rowing Crew Balance Games Ultimate Obstacle Course Dessert Course Hosedown Trampoline Target Core Luge Scuba Search
