Thrustmaster T-Fitness Pro Pack NW

Futurelooks Holiday 2008 Guide to Third-Party Nintendo Wii Accessories

Are you having a hard time finding Wii Fit in stock? You’re not alone. If you are lucky enough to own a Wii Fit and the Wii Balance Board, however, you’ll find a good number of accessories that will expand your Wii-based exercise regimen.

A short while ago, I told you guys about the Nyko Energy Pak for the Wii Balance Board. Much like the Penguin Charge Station described earlier in this guide, this provided a rechargeable battery solution for the Balance Board. The Thrustmaster T-Fitness Pro Pack NW goes even further with its Wii Fit accessorizing by tossing in a few very useful items to further enhance your Wii Fit experience.

In addition to a rechargeable battery pack and USB cable, which allows the console itself to charge the battery, this Wii Fit accessory pack comes with a yoga mat, a carrying bag, a lanyard for your MP3 player, a matching headband, ankle weights, and a cleaning cloth. Given all of these extras, the Thrustmaster T-Fitness Pro Pack NW provides quite a good value at $49.00 US MSRP. I just wish it came with a protective silicone sleeve for the Balance Board itself. That’s the only thing that this kit is really missing.

Nothing Wrong with Non-Nintendo

Just as you can save a ton of money with refurbished cameras and debranded LCDs, the same can be said about opting for third-party Nintendo Wii gaming accessories. You don’t need to pay for that Nintendo badge, as much as Shigeru Miyamoto would like to convince you otherwise.

Whether you’re looking for an extra wireless guitar, a good Wii Remote charging base, or a wireless Classic Controller replacement, third party manufacturers have you covered when it comes to Wii accessories. This is just another way for you to penny-pinch during the holidays (and throughout the year).
