What better place to launch the much anticipated Wii Fitness than in the mecca of all things flabby and in need of a few sit-ups? New York's Central Park was where Wii Fit was officially launched...
and Engadget had pics and a video to prove it.

Nintendo is really rubbing in its NY-only launch date for the Wii Fit. Not only do New Yorkers get the Fit a whole two days prior to the rest of America, they also got to try it out for free alongside celebrity trainers in Central Park. Despite the threat of rain, we saw quite a few folks out enjoying the device, from young to old. Many of older set wasn't even aware there were two products in play, the Wii and the Wii Fit -- and some of the trainers seem to have trouble explaining that concept -- so it seems to us that a bundled SKU could do good things for Nintendo. Not that it won't sell like gangbusters anyways. Video of people exercising is on the way. You have been warned.

Saw this big kiosk in Best Buy today for Wii Fitness. It looks like there's a few things you can buy for various exercises. What a novel idea, cashing in on fat video game nerds... who knew?!
