While I despise using online retailers as release date sources, the newest EB Games and Amazon listings for a January 1 Wii Fit launch have added merit; Nintendo would be stupid not to release a health product on the same day as New Year resolutions, 99 percent of which are to lose weight.

Additionally, both retailers list WiiFit at $70. Call me casual — I don’t care — but this thing (not to mention the ski jumping mini-game) has my chunky self excited. Anyone else planning on buying this?
