Nintendo’s got a great holiday line-up of games this year. One such game is Wii Fit Plus, the follow-up to the extremely successful Wii Fit. So what’s the Plus all about? It seems to be in indication that there’s a lot more to this title than its predecessor, and from the short time I spent with a preview build, I’d have to say the Plus is for Chicken Suit.

The game includes the workout routines from Wii Fit but will feature a more streamlined user interface so that navigating between different activities and between different players (and exercisers) isn’t such a tedious process. But in addition to this, there seems to be a lot more in the extras department. Unlike Wii Fit, it looks like Wii Fit Plus will have a lot more in terms of games. This time around there are 15 new balance games and six new strength training and yoga exercises.

I didn’t spend a whole lot of time playing around with the various games in the non-workout part of the disc, but I was nevertheless worked out. In fact, days after the preview I began to wonder why my calves were feeling the burn so much when I’d climb stairs. Eventually, I realized it was from testing out Wii Fit Plus just days before. I also realized I’m somewhat out of shape.
