wii fit is just the beginning of the balance board, image what could happen later O_O

Re: The Wii is Here.

first thought: tony hawk game.

Re: The Wii is Here.

second thought: mario snowboarding (miyamoto created the balance board, is possible a mario snowboarding)

Or... 1080.

Mario Snowboarding would be excessive, especially considering the popularity of 1080.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Is there any 1080 game slated for Wii yet? *not researching*

Any snowboarding game using that technology would be VERY unrepresentative of snowboarding. You don't turn a snowboard simply by leaning your weight.

However, that IS how you turn a skateboard. I wouldn't mind seeing a downhill skateboarding game making use of this... but I don't think it'd work very well for a Tony Hawk type game.

It wouldn't be realistic, but it would be fun. Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam was a big lol. I think the whole racing thing is much better suited to snowboarding.

Wii hit 10,000,000, according to VGCharts.

I'd give it another week or two to pass the 360 in worldwide sales.

Just how Guitar Hero is just like real Guitar right? Although I know what you mean it's not like it wouldn't work.

Guitar Hero is a simplified simulation of guitar playing. A simplified simulation of snowboarding would involve pivoting, not leaning. I don't think pivoting would work anyway, since it'd need to be a floating pivet to be effective, and the technology behind that would be too expensive to be reasonable for a gaming peripheral.

but still it would be fun, no matter if it's emulating a skateboard or a snowboard
