Balance all the way
I reviewed Nintendo’s Wii Fit in Helsingin Sanomat last week. The review is sadly not available electronically (at least not without shelling money for the digital edition of said newspaper).
I quite liked the peripheral that resembles an overgrown scale more than anything else. It’s surprisingly accurate and stable. And while the Wii Fit exercises are nice, they’re not that good gaming-wise. Hence I ended my review with the hopefully expectant note - maybe the control device will be popular enough to warrant its use in future games.
Today, news on slashdot announced that Ubisoft will develop not one, but two games that make use of the balanceboard: Shaun White Snowboarding and Raving Rabbids TV Party. Nice. But I’m still pretty convinced that a good skateboarding game would do wonders on the device as well.
