If you live in New York City, take note: Nintendo is set to hold a large launch event for Wii Fit (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/07/amazon-sells-out-of-wii-fit-preorders/) on May 19th, the day of its release. The event will take place at the Merchants' Gate of Central Park, from 8am until 5pm. At the event, famous personal trainer Ashley Borden will be providing a personal training session with the Balance Board and Nintendo's software.
Unlike the recent Mario Kart Wii event (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/24/jason-priestley-wants-to-throw-down-in-some-mario-kart-with-you/), there won't be any kind of tournament or prizes. But, that doesn't mean you shouldn't show up, because Nintendo has pledged $5 (up to $25,000 total) to the American Heart Association for every person that gets on a Balance Board and tries Wii Fit out. Exercising while helping people? Sounds like a winning plan to us!
