caseys Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Well there was a version of what became Wii Fit - for the NES! And a copy of it sold today at auction. For a mere $41,300. Developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), the game was released in Europe in 1988, and in the US the year before. The copy on offer on eBay was a US, NTSC copy still in its shrink-wrap and with its $29.99 price tag. Stadium Events was not a success, however, and relatively few copies made it on to shop shelves. Production was limited, and these factors combined to make the title something of a rarity, particularly now more than 20 years on from its release. Long pre-Wii, Stadium Events allowed players to engage in on-screen athletic events through the Family Fun Fitness Mat peripheral, later bought from Bandai by Nintendo and re-released as the Power Pad. Sprints, hurdles, long jump and triple jump were among the ten events in which players could compete. I do wonder sometimes about buying 'limited edition's of some games etc and keeping them up in the loft, maybe a worthwhile investment for 22 years! $30 turns into $41k.. No one has a BNIB NES or Neo Geo I could buy off them do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
