Striking a Balance - Does the Wii Balance Board Have a Future?

Well let's see, aside from Wii Fit (which is awesome) the board is used in:
Skate It (skateboarding)
Shawn White (snowboarding)
We Ski
We Cheer (cheerleading)
Don King (boxing)
Wii Music (drums)
Rayman Rabbids TV Party(various)

So that's already fantastic support for a parepheral and I'm sure more will be coming.

Personally I'm expecting Tiger Woods '10 to use WiiMotion+ and Balance board to be able to determine your swing so precisely that not only can it react in game accordingly but it'll be able to coach you on how to improve your real life golf swing.

 

I never thought of that but you're absolutely right, that's a great idea, I doubt they would go into the balance board part though even as great of an idea as it is.  But most sports games could use the balance board and make the game much more interactive and fun, imagine juking with the balance board, or a in-line skate game where you lean from side to side to gain speed, balance on a grind, etc.
