Wii Balance Board hands-on, er, feet-on

We got to get on a little, um, feet-on moment with Nintendo’s new Wii Balance Board. Besides the humbling experience of feeling like an uncoordinated, chubby remnant of your former self, we were surprised with the accuracy by which the device was able to detect even subtle muscle movements that affect balance and position. It definitely felt heavy and sturdy for a pre-production device. Oh, and the

weight / balance sensors aren’t just left / right, either, some games require you to stand in the middle on one foot. Check out the gallery, it’s instance to get physical like ONJ. (If you’re still left wanting increasingly, hit up Joystiq.)
