Type of review

No problems with the board. My old one didn't have extensions and had to improvise to use it on carpet. Take Nintendo seriously when they say "don't jump on the board". My little grandkids did it and broke my old one. One of the frustrations I have is that sometimes it doesn't read your position correctly, and even if you do the exercise in a balanced and correct way, Wii Fit will shift your position slightly and interpret it as a bad effort. .

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • Upgradeable

The board works fine but

If I had only bought the board I would have given it 4 or 5 stars but for the following. There were 2 discs in the picture but only one came (this was stated in the description when I checked later). The board itself works as it should, but the one supplied drive is defective and only works sporadically. I've tried and wiped the drive multiple times, but I've had to restart it at least twice per workout. Luckily when it shipped it was in the original packaging as the packaging was damagedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • weight
Cons
  • I'll write later

That works fine. on Wii

This balance board replaces a 7 year old who had a tear in the plastic top that grew with time and use and began to hurt her leg, although it was still working. The new one came with instructions that are slightly different than what I received 7 years ago and still have. When I first turned it on, this new one wasn't talking to my existing Wii console and needed to be synced. The newer instructions do not list all the required steps (referred to as pairing) and say to refer to the instructions

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • Little things

Useful hints for synchronization

I got that in the mail yesterday. I had a Wii for many years but lost my balance board a year ago. In the end I decided to buy a new one. It came exactly like in the picture. However, after the setup I use for the Wii Fit, I found that the instructions on my Wii Fit DVD told me that only one Balance Board can be synced to each Wii console. I tried to set it up several times but it didn't sync. So I called Nintendo only to spend half an hour on the phone and got nothing. I ended up logging intoโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Was damaged
