More Wii Balance Board games in the future

WiiFit was Nintendo’s biggest title at this year’s E3 and the coolest accessory they showed off is the pressure-sensitive floor pad with sensors in it called the Wii Balance Board. This peripheral won’t be used for WiiFit alone, but there are many other applications for the Wii Balance Board.

Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of WiiFit and WiiSports, said at E3 that there will be many other applications for the peripheral in the future. Third party developers asked him if they could use the Wii Balance Board for their games in the future and he said that they are free to use the controller for creating their own ideas. Games like Tony Hawk, SSX, 1080°, Super Monkey Ball and many other titles could use the Wii Balance Board controller to make the games more active and healthier.

Medical experts showed their interest in the peripheral as well. WiiSports is being used by several hospitals as well, but since WiiFit is specifically made for losing weight and working out there are tons of new opportunities for doctors to help their patients get fit.
