Other Uses
Wii Fit U, like Wii Fit, has been used for treatments in physical therapy and not just for basic exercise. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC, has used games that involve light to moderate activity in those with brain damage to aid in the patient's recovery. Research has found that users feel a better sense of balance and upper body motion, initiating a healing for those with brain injury.

Concerning basic exercise, users have found that the game is not fit for intensive exercise but rather moderate exercise and conditioning. The game includes different types of exercises, but whether diversity of the exercises creates more physical growth is unknown.

Reception
Wii Fit U, overall, is well received by critics, having a score of 72 out of 100 by 19 critics on Metacritic. One Metacritic review described it as being "friendly" and not "as hardcore as some fitness buffs may like." Nintendo World Report praises the game for revolutionizing the exercising genre of video games. Gaming magazine Polygon criticizes Wii Fit U as "too light-weight to be a contender" for actual exercise.
