MadCatz Wii Fit Battery Pack
After months of searching we finally managed to get hold of a Nintendo Wii Fit board back in July which was hugely popular with the whole family and used almost every second that the house was occupied.
For those who may be unfamiliar with the Nintendo Wii and the Wii fit balance board I will explain these briefly first. The Wii is a games console which uses a handheld remote for interactive play (simulating tennis etc).

I find this one pretty hard as I'm not particularly fit!
Balance Games
This is by far the most used section of the program and is perhaps the most 'fun'. It consists of a wide variety of balance games where you stand on the board and have to really work hard to get high scores. It includes a game where you see a flat table with holes in on the screen and some snooker type balls, you have to shift your balance carefully on the board to get the balls in the holes in the given ...
