1 Star Indianapolis 500
Mr’s of Amazon, I was looking to buy a Indianapolis 500 for Wii, your good service try to give me again the product, I received the new one on time, but was a mistake again, I received a Game for Nintendo DS, and I wanted one for Wii. Well about your service, Amazon have (5) five stars, you gave me back my money, and I sent you back the Nintendo DS games (Two of them). Thanks to the Amazon Service.

5 Stars So real you can smell the rubber!
This is a very realistic game. They’ve factored in various conditions, for ex if your tires are worn the car will push, or if you get out of the racing line you will lose the draft and get passed. I like the fact you have to get progressively better in order to move on to the next level. The graphics are excellent … they paid attention to detail from a bygone era. I look forward to when the kids go to bed or are out of the house just so I can play on my own!

4 Stars Silicone cover
The cover works very well to keep you from slipping around on the board. It also allows you to keep the board clean.

1 Star NOT AT ALL LIKE THE PICTURE OR DESCRIPTION
First, I got this sent to me in pink and it had nubby footprints on it. Then, I replaced the order (we can’t have pink at my house ~ I have a boy and my girls are anti-pink). I even spoke to MadCatz and the gentleman there said they didn’t have nubby footprints on any of their designs, but they did have nubby all-over clear so I’m not sure how the photo of a clear smooth surface translates to a nubby foot-printed colored Wii board cover. We can live with the blue; however, my kids don’t like the nubs and I’m not too happy that the description and photo do not match the item that arrives. The photo on the box looks like the photo at Amazon, but the item inside is anything but! This kind of problem is why I prefer to shop for some items in person; however, none of our local stores carry Wii board covers so I was stuck.

Amazon needs to write in their description that the item will ship in assorted colors and have nubby footprints and does not match the photo shown or on the box from MadCatz. Somehow, I think MadCatz has a product their techie doesn’t know about and is putting them into the box for a clear, smooth silicone cover!

All I can say, the item fits snug and appears that it will be a safe surface, but it sure isn’t what I ordered!

1 Star It comes in blue, not the clear silicone cover as shown.
I am not sure if Amazon.com make a mistake or not. When I order it, I am expecting to receive a “clear” color silicone cover. When the item did arrived, the cover is in blue color. It is made by MadCatz with the exact picture Amazon.com has on the package. But the silicone cover is in BLUE. I have email Amazon.com to check if I am indeed receiving the correct product. If so, why do I not have a choice in selecting the color? Pending on their investigation…

Buyer beware, it might comes in a different color than you see.

4 Stars Good cover
Not too expensive and does the job of keeping your wii fit from feet smudges. This makes cleaning easier and keeping your wii fit environment sanitary. Its nonslip surface seems to hold though I have not tried sliding on it.

5 Stars WII Fit
We all use the WII Fit almost everyday. A great way to workout when you don’t have time to go to the gym. We like the product very much. The Sillicone cover fits well and is easy to clean. Very comfortable for bare feet.

Wii Fit Rechargeable Battery Pack for Balance Board




280 mAh / 5.0v Input, 4.8v Output

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Don’t make a mistake
I bought this in a bundle from a major retailer and had a problem with the fit board only to find out Nintendo says this voids your warrenty. Right now I am having to pay postage and repairs for the item. They did show me in the handbook where it states the use of NON-Wii items voids the warrenty. I think the retailers should back the warrenty as they are selling this in bundles and I don’t think everyone would know it was wrong to use it.

3 Stars Hassle Free
The recharge battery pack for the WII fit is easy to use and really saves you money. Great option to have.

4 Stars Wii battery recharger
The green charging light stays on and does not go off after a full charge – so you never know status. Aside from that, it’s OK

4 Stars Wii Fit goes green
The recharger works great. It is a bit of a tight fit installing it in the balance board battery bay so I would recommend schlepping your balance board over to the Wii and charging it with the pack installed. Charge lasts for about 5 – 10 sessions. I’m sure I’ve saved enough in batteries to pay for this unit. It’s a no-brainer, if you have a balance board, you need this charger.

3 Stars Works well, but comes up a little short
The rechargeable battery pack works well, but it seems like it needs to be plugged in a lot more than I’d like. It would be more helpful if the USB cord was longer so you could actually use the feature of being able to plug it into the Wii console as you work out so it continues to charge. I will have to purchase a USB extension to be able to fully use it.

According to the new figures, the mistake occurred when counting Wii sales. The Nintendo console actually did far better than Microsoft and should be now getting the crown as “head of the triumvirate”: Wii: 29,686/ Xbox 360: 28,188.

5 Stars battery pack
This is a great item, beats having to go out to buy AA batteries. This product is easy to use. Great way to save money. I would definitly recommend this to any one who has the Wii Fit.

4 Stars Wii battery recharger

1 Star Worked Once. Now it is useless.
Great Idea. I only wish it worked more than once.

We followed the directions charging it for the required amount of time before it’s first use. We got a great first use out of it.

Now it doesn’t work at all. It’s not worth paying the money to ship the bad one and pay for the return shipping so we just ate the 20 bucks. Now I am going to go get a rechargeable set of AAA batteries.

2 Stars Be Aware–Voids Warranty!!!
I had the same problem as described in other reviews of Communication Lost. Just got off the phone with Nintendo & found out that it caused damage to the B. Board. Even after putting regular batteries in, it still lost commumication. I now have to send it in for repair,& wait approx. 2 wks. to get it back. Warranty is VOIDED for using a product that is not licensed by Nintendo. This also goes for the rechargeable batteries with a charging station for the controllers.
