Forums - Nintendo - Would the Wii Balance Board Be Perfect a Fit for Disaster: Day of Crisis?

  I think (hope) that once Nintendo gets the Balance Board to the right size for all markets (Japanese and American as Miyamoto put it), they are going to use it in Disaster: Day of Crisis. I am wishing ,yes, but just think of the mechanics.

  The game, as I remember, is about a man trying to stop a terrorist group in the midst of a series of "natural disaters." They said that volcanoes would erupt, there would be earthquakes, storms...etc. And as you go about trying to save the world the landscape will be torn apart. Buildings will fall, roads will cave in, fires will burn...etc.

  To simulate an earthquake I think it would be better if you are forced to adjust pressure from each leg to compensate and at the same time you're having a shoot-out.A guage on screen could show you your center of gravity and you must reactcompensate from side to side. How you stand would effect howaccurately you aim at the villians.
  Or even if you have objectives like the one in- game screen-shot of the lead character trying to cross a bridge... instead of using the wii-mote would it be better to use you own weight? That would be pretty submerssive, yes?

So what do you think? Too much going on for a game, I know some people like the couch a lot. Even if you personally don't like it do you think other game buyers (casual, moderates, or hardcore) will?

 

Thank for humoring me.

Have you seen the snippets of gameplay? It's not just about avoiding the disasters, it's a third person shooter too. Wouldn't work.

Unless you used the Wii Zapper in conjunction with the Wii Board...but too many peripherals.

maybe work good, i think work better if the wii balance board have vibration but have to wait to view all the functions of the wii balance board, maybe only have the functions that we see in the E3, or will have other functions like the vibration, i dont know.

No.

You don't need the Wii Zapper for anything. It's just a gun shaped piece of plastic you stick your Wii Mote and Nunchuck into. I am thinking they will use it for control of the motor cycle. Put pressure on the left, you will turn left, and the other way too. They will leave control of the character to you, but I am thinking that they will let you lean with the balance board. Duck and jump with it. Although jumping might be a little over the top.

I completely understand why they would include the balance board in the game. This might push a lot of the Japanese into getting the game for it.

Wow, so they have to make two different size WiiBoards to compensate for the large population of fatties in the US?  I don't know what to say about that.  Sadly, it's true.  Can we please just put the fork down people?  Please?  This is embarassing, on an international scale.  Do the PAL owners get a regular WiiBoard, or a Jumbo, XL, Super-Sized, Everything-On-It board like us in the states?  (Or do they get the Goldilocks Board that's juuuust right?)

A little off topic but I think nintendo is trying to squez the money out of people with the wii zapper, really why would you need it? The wii mote is fun without it.

I'm more curious about the game that ships with the wii zapper than the zapper itself. :)



Nobody is crazy enough to accuse me of being sane.
