    Hmmm... I could see it being used for Super Monkey Ball. It'll be weird getting used to, but ultimately more realistic, and better in general.

    Super Monkey Ball. =O
    That game was alright for Gamecube, me and my friend used to play it all the time.

    It could work, but I think that the Wii Remote would work better, it already has some good controls on it.

    Wii Fit looks pretty good, I wonder how it'll work with the balance board.

    It could work for sports games like Skate boarding and snow boarding,ect. But for something other than that i don't see it being good.Hey, Atleast you lose weight while playing your favorite games .

    Jet Grind Radio is an awesome idea. Loved that game.

    Surprised they didn't mention Tony Hawk on the list?

      I was anticipating Tony Hawk being on the list, too. It seems logical.

    I wonder if any greedy guy tries to sue nintendo for falling of the wii board.

    Also, you think it's possible if I can use the dance dance revolution pad.

    yea it could work for Dance Dance Revolution. But im really hoping that they make excellent first person shooters. Imagine you use the wii remote to aim, shoot, pick up stuff; the nunchuk to move; and the balance board to crouch, dodge, and many more possibilities.
