2.0 out of 5 stars How are you going to use it?, January 10, 2011
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Snakebyte Wii Premium Fitness Board and Balance Board, Black (SB00016) (Video Game)
This board works excellent as a balance board for games like We Ski, Dance Dance Revolution, et al. It is actually a little more sensitive and easier to get into what engineers call the 'saturation' region where the sensor indicates you have leaned as far as you should/can to the left, right, front, back, etc.

Unfortunately for those hoping to use the board with The Biggest Looser and the like where weight is an important factor, this board is not so great. The one I had was off by about 30lbs consistently, varying by around 5lbs or so each time I get on (Get on and off 7 times in 10 minutes and it will read up to 5 lbs more or 5 lbs less than the average). These errors make the board almost useless for the 'fitness' purpose; however, if you want to use it primarily as a game controller and are not playing wii just to work out, then this board is actually a lot better than the Nintendo version. Just depends on how you want to use it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great alternative to the pricey Wii model, February 26, 2011
This review is from: Snakebyte Wii Premium Fitness Board and Balance Board, Black (SB00016) (Video Game)
I really wanted to try the Wii Fit games but didn't want to sink a lot of money into it. I'm disabled and I wasn't sure I'd be able to do the exercises/activities. So, I bought the Snakebyte fitness board and a used copy of Wii Fit.

I am very, very pleased with the Snakebyte board's performance! I was a bit worried after reading some reviews from people who said they couldn't sync it with the Wii. I don't know what they were doing but I had no problem at all -- I followed the simple instructions and game prompts and the board synched immediately.

I have found that the board is very sensitive to movement and I think this affects the weight accuracy. I fixed this issue by playing with the Wii's sensitivity settings. Adjusting the sensitivity downward made the weight and responses more accurate. The communication between the board and the Wii is very good.

I'm anxious to buy some other games that require the balance board to see how it does but for... Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
This Wii balance board can be used for far more than just the Wii fit series of games. Nintendo offers many other games such as Shaun White Snowboarding Road Trip, All Star Cheer Squad, We Ski and Skate It. I have several of these types of games and find this board works very well with them.

After using both the Wii brand balance board and this Snakebyte board I find they... Read more
