    How do you guys think the Wii Balance Board should be utilized in new games outside the "exercise" genre? How should it be used in platformers or shooters or even sports games?

    Anybody have any ideas?

    Personally i think it would be really cool to incorporate the idea behind the running game in Wii Fit (I havent played it, just seen short vid screens of it)and add that to a Zelda game or any other game involving similar character movement. Even using the balnce board to create unique sword strokes depending on the location of your Center of Gravity over the board...
    I know these ideas are a little unrealistic, as it is probably incredibly difficult to program a game that uses the ideas I have...
    But I mean, who knows whats possible?

    What are your ideas?
    It's ok if ur posts are lengthy...Be Creative...maybe some game developers will read this post (lol)

    What is the future of the Wii Balance Board?

    A skateboarding game would work well.

    I am all for Ben and Arvin's idea for a Time Crisis 4 game using the balance board. either that, or.... realistic boxing game.

    George Orwell once said,
    "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

    We ask for truth all the time, but when that truth threatens to tear apart the fundamental beliefs of your world, can you still accept it?

    I think they might use the board in the next Zelda game. They did say the next Zelda game would be unlock any other Zelda game before.

    Before the Balance Board, I always imagined Systems in the farrrrrrrrr future using a "circle treadmill" that would let you run in any direction, but I never thought of that for the balance board. This is a good topic to make you think about how the future of gaming will go. I have not many ideas about what to use it in yet...

    I would love for Don King's Prizefighter boxing game to set the new standard in video game boxing. If someone could merge the Wii Sports and the Wii Fit boxing into one solid game that would be great.
