I'd be all for this if they could actually make it work. The reviews of Boogie weren't exactly great, but there's no saying a sequel wouldn't improve on those flaws (see how open minded I am, even with Eviltronic Arts?).
I can't see any real practical use for the Balance Board other than things like this. Although using it as a way to move in a FPS could be interesting. Step on the front to move forward, back to reverse and sides to strafe - it might work.
The thing is, if the board is only designed to detect changes in weight distribution, it's not going to work that well for people throwing themselves around like they do on the equivalent dance mats.
I can imagine the splash screens now.
1. Attach Wii Remote strap
2. Ensure plenty of space around you
3. Use protective cover thingy
4. Do not wear slippery soles or socks
5. Don't jump on the damn board, you crazy fool!
6. Make sure there's a soft landing available when you fall on your bottom
7. Don't sue us when you break a limb
8. Seriously, we won't touch it
9. No we won't fix your TV either |
