Nintendo's Wii Fit (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/WiiFit/) launch event (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/08/nintendo-to-hold-wii-fit-event-in-central-park/) in Central Park drew a crowd of interested onlookers and Balance Board tryer-outers yesterday. They could just walk over to the Nintendo World Store to buy the thing, but the rest of us chumps have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest. Oh, well, pacing is exercise too.
To entice the crowd to make that purchase, Nintendo offered live demonstrations of the game as well as personal Wii Fit sessions with trainers (who probably trained people to take their shoes off and follow the instructions on the screen). The event also served as an American Heart Association fundraiser. We've got Nintendo's own pictures in our gallery below; for more, check out Engadget (http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/nintendo-celebrates-wii-fit-ny-launch-in-central-park/).
