Slow your roll there classic gaming enthusiasts and occasional fitness buffs, because we have found the perfect deal of the year for you! The Salvation Army in Mankato, Minnesota just stocked the hottest game of 2009: Wii Fit Plus. And not only that, they have nine copies for your purchasing pleasure.
We can guarantee these won’t last long because it’s literally the only Wii game they have, unless you count the instruction manual for the Goldeneye remake we found amongst the Bibles. Just look for them in the row of Family Guy DVDs. If you hit the Downton Abbey box set, you went too far.
Now you’re probably thinking why you’d care about a casual fitness game that came out 15 years ago. Well, chances are the balance board that came with it is sitting in your basement. Don’t lie, you know it’s there. Everyone had it at some point, and it likely made the move with you out of your parents’ house when you thought “oh yeah this’ll be a great way to stay in shape and I won’t have to buy a Bowflex”.
Look, they’re only $3 each! Buy two or three in case one of them is scratched or contains a completely different game like Metroid Prime Trilogy. Who wouldn’t want to roll those dice? Either way it’s a win/win: you get in shape and a non-profit makes some money. Who cares what political affiliations Salvation Army aligns with, this is a piece of video game history we’re talking about.
Personally, we’d wait for something like Mario Kart or Mario Strikers Charged to get donated. But according to the guy who intakes all the donations, they take the harder to find games for themselves which inevitably leaves, you guessed it, copious amounts of Wii Fit Plus. It’s a little sad to see all these orphaned copies of a game that just want to improve your overall health.
Stop in and pick one up today, even if you just use the cases to balance a wobbly table. Seriously, even if you don’t have a Wii just take it off their hands because they just got twelve additional copies donated by multiple people this morning!
