"No Nintendo employee could imagine we'd be selling millions of bathroom scales" - Satoru Iwata

Now there is a new use for the Wii Balance Board, with Shaun White snowboarding. Just like snowboarding on WiiFit, you use the Balance Board as a snowboard and balance back and forth on it, in order to turn, speed up, down and do various tricks.

Shaun White himself presented the game on the Nintendo press conference along with a demo which was demonstrated by Denise Kaigler.

Shaun White Snowboarding comes exclusively for the Wii at the end of the year.

Usually, a snowboard perephial is made for a game and doesn't sell that well. Now, the games are being made for the perephials that people already own. IT PRINTS MONEY!
