'Wii Fit' Yoga mat is announced

(digitalspy) -- As gamers struggle to pre-order Nintendo's forthcoming exercise-based Wii exclusive Wii Fit, a third-party company has announced the release of a yoga mat for the game.

Developed by Hori, the mat, which features an inner polyester mesh to prevent stretching and provide durability, will retail at £19.99. (around US$40)

According to the manufacturer, the 183cm mat "is designed to be placed between flooring and the Wii Balance Board to reduce impact and provide body support".

The Wii Fit yoga mat will be launched on May 30.
