It is my belief that the recent trend of exercise games is a step in the right direction for getting gamers healthy. With that being said, the amount of Wii Fit related accessories is ridiculous. I walked into a Best Buy last week and saw an entire isle dedicated to Wii Fit merchandise. Who really needs sweat bands and a water bottle for playing wii fit? If you sweat playing Wii Fit….well, I’m not going to comment on that.

First on the list of accessories are the protective cases for the Wii Fit board. I think it’s great that one would want to protect their perpetual, but do you really need handles on your case? Where are you going with your Balance Board?

On the other hand, there are some other accessories that add a nice extra touch to your Wii Fit experience. On of these accessories is the Wii Fit Yoga Mat. Is a yoga mat really necessary? Definitely not, but it does make it feel much more like actual yoga. It’s just like using an actual mic stand or drum seat for Rock Band. It gives more realism to these games that are imitating reality.
