That Wii Fit Balance Board isn’t going to waste—Nintendo has confirmed that you’ll be using it in Wii Fit U.

Not only will players now need to balance and use the board peripheral for exercises, but the movements required also involve hitting the touchscreen on the WiiPad at key points. Much of it will require timing and finesse as you conduct stretches and other activity.

Also, the Wii U controller will connect with the console and balance board to share information and metrics on your fitness.

No announced date was confirmed, but Wii Fit U seems ripe for the launch period of the Wii U.
