@Louie: so how are balance board controls?

I didn't play with the Balance Board yet, just the Wiimote + Nunchuk combo but the controls are really good! I'm gonna play with the Balance Board this evening, though. But it looks like IGN liked it so my hopes are high for this one.

 Well of course it is.  But isn't that the point?  I mean if you tried the stunts etc on a real skateboard that you were doing on Skate It, it would feel a lot clunkier than doing them with a Wiimote.

Im very confused why the balance board control seems to get marked down because it's hard to master.  I'm rubbish at skateboarding, so would expect to find the balance board control hard... that's the way it should be if you are trying to recreate the "real thing"

Okay second reason to get a Balance Board ASAP.

You mean second reason after WiiFit?

You dont think Shaun White is gonna be good?

I mean second, after Shaun White Snowboarding yes, and maybe you don't think the game is so good, but reviews tell something entirely different.

Nice to see wiis third party support is getting better. But I don't happen to have much intrest in this or that snowboarding game.
