Family Ski Meets Wii Balance Board

Filed in archive Wii on November 17, 2007

The very first third party title for the forthcoming Wii Fit Balance Board has been announced, and its incredibly apt.




According to Famitsu, Family Ski is going to make use of both the balance board and the nunchuk and wiimote for what could be the most realistic skiing experience to date (if you count cutesy manga-style visuals as reality). Wii Fanboy write:

"To us, it was a no-brainer: Namco Bandai's Family Ski and Nintendo's Wii Fit Balance Board were always supposed to be together. We're no skiing experts, but the sport seems to involve its fair share of leaning, making the game and Nintendo's wobbly slab the perfect match.

The Famitsu scan above suggests that Namco Bandai now feels the same way, despite initially announcing that the game would only use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Unless our memories have failed us, this would make Family Ski the first third-party title to support Nintendo's new peripheral."

Looks awesome to me. Ski it up.
