Wii Fit Gets a Mat (Yes, a MAT)

Posted by Kotaku US Edition at 9:00 PM on January 15, 2008

image1wiimat.jpg Japanese peripheral maker Hori is releasing a mat to be used with Wii Fit. The "Wii Fit Mat" (so clever) is pretty self-explanatory: Put it on the floor, under the Wii Fit Balance Board. We guess it'll help prevent slippage, which so far hasn't been much of a problem. Haven't heard of people flailing wildly into their TVs...

This goes on sale in February for around $US 32. Pricey!

Hori Arcade Stick Coming Stateside

horiwii.jpgNot that the Wii's necessarily short on peripherals, but if you could squeeze room for one more, this'd be it. Hori's Fighting Stick. Previously available in Japan, Gamestop now have a listing for an American release on November 6. Price? USD$50. Which is not too bad considering the imported version is a couple bucks more. Or when you consider there's not a single Wii controller layout that's any good for Street Fighter II.
