Wii Fit for $89.99

Hey -- Nintendo wasn't lying about that "under $100" promise.

Showing up more or less everywhere Tuesday morning, from online retailers to broadcast television, was the official price for Nintendo's anticipated exercise game, Wii Fit. How much will it set you back? You'll be able to buy the game, which comes bundled with the Wii Balance Board, for $89.99. That price is slightly higher than the $83-ish Japanese build but well under the high tag that European players will have to pay.

Meanwhile, Nintendo has a little something extra planned for New York Wii Fitters. To quote from the company's official press release, "Consumers in the New York area who pre-order Wii Fit from the Nintendo World store in Rockefeller Plaza will receive a special bonus item. From April 18-20, the first 1,000 consumers who place a $5 deposit for Wii Fit will receive a limited edition Wii Fit T-shirt featuring the image and reproduced autograph of legendary Nintendo video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto."

Nintendo has said it will support Wii Fit with one of the largest marketing budgets in company history. The publisher intends to allocate more than a million units alone to the launch of the package on May 19.
