Wii Fit Plus garnered both critical and commercial success. The game has received aggregate review scores of 80.83% and 80% on GameRankings and Metacritic respectively.[9][10] Wii Fit Plus is the seventh best-selling game on the Wii, with a total of 21.13 million copies sold as of September 2018.
Key Features
Following the commercial success of Wii Fit, producer Shigeru Miyamoto decided to produce a follow-up.
Miyamoto learned during Wii Fit Plus development that many Wii Fit owners had stopped playing the game, believing the primary reason to be inconvenience.
A new menu interface, My Wii Fit Plus, was implemented to address this issue and make accessing activities quicker and easier.3
The interface was recreated and adjusted multiple times during development.
