News: And it'll be available at a price that'll keep your wallet fat.

Nintendo announced that Wii Fit Plus, the followup to the bestselling exercise game Wii Fit, will be released on October 4.

As promised at E3, the game will be available in two different packages: a Wii Fit Plus/Wii Balance Board bundle for $99.99 and a standalone version (for those who already own the original Wii Fit) that will be available for $19.99. With a budget price like that, it looks like your wallet will be able to stay fat for a little while longer. The Wii Fit Plus/Wii Balance Board bundle will replace the current Wii Fit/Wii Balance Board bundle when it is released in October. Nintendo has not yet commented on when, or if, Wii Fit will be available in a standlone disc version.

But they have talked about what gamers can expect from Wii Fit Plus:

This enhanced version of the top-selling game offers a range of new features, along with new exercises, yoga activities and balance games designed to keep workouts fun. For the first time, users can customize their workouts to target specific areas of their bodies or to fill specific intervals of time. Wii Fit Plus will replace the current Wii Fit configuration at retail, and will be bundled with the Wii Balance Board accessory at a suggested retail price of $99.99. For people who currently own Wii Fit and want to add the expanded options to their fitness regimen, the Wii Fit Plus disc will be available on its own at a suggested retail price of $19.99.
