News: Namco Bringing Balance Board Skiing!
Posted 04 Mar 2008 at 20:11 by Tom Phillips
Namco are the first developer to bring you another use for your Wii Balance Board - skiing!
Ever since we heard about the Balance Board (the pressure sensing Wii accessory coming packaged with Nintendo's exercise 'em-up Wii Fit), we'd been thinking a skiing title would be perfect for it. Imagine leaning from side-to-side on your Board, just as if you were slaloming down the Alps. Or something.
Well, Namco are doing it in their imaginatively titled We Ski. Featuring four-player multiplay, the ability to create your own custom skiers and equipment (your Mii characters are supported too), the game offers freestyle, mogul, slalom and photography modes, and real snow*.
*Okay, the real snow bit was a lie. Americans get the game this quarter - details of release in Europe as they're released!
