GoNintendo have a short report showing the upcoming release list for a games shop in Amsterdam. The list shows a release date of 19th November. This rumour has been flying round the internet for the last day or so, and I hope it turns out to be true (although it's a long wait).

The timing sounds about right, just in time for the Christmas shopping season, and far enough away that many existing Wii Fit users will have got bored or frustrated with the first version. Wii Fit sales for Christmas 2008 were astronomical, and I'm sure Nintendo are planning a repeat performance.

Hopefully Nintendo will be spending the next seven months looking at what its competitors have been doing and sorting out some of the most glaring problems with Wii Fit, such as the lack of routines, and the amount of time wasted during sessions.

In the meantime, I'll be checking out some of the other fitness games available for the Wii and seeing how they compare, so stay tuned.
