You know how for the longest time no one could get their hands on a Nintendo Wii because they were just so damn popular? Even now the supply is less than ample, so it comes as no surprise that on the eve of the release of the the Wii Fit sources say the new peripheral is already backed up on preorders and that's despite the fact that it won’t even officially hit store shelves until May 21st.

Yet, can the little white board match up against the hype? Well, critics seem to think so. A quick survey of metacritic.com has the Fit standing at a cool 80%, suggesting that the over 40 activities (which include yoga and muscle workouts, aerobic exercises, and balance games) are well worth your $90. Perhaps the biggest exercise of all will be trying to get your hands on one of these puppies. Check after the break for a full list of exercises and games.
