I know that I for one was hoping that there would be a tremendous amount of tricks and other maneuvers that could have been pulled off using the Wii Balance Board. Positioning your feet on certain parts of it and applying different amounts of pressure could have been an excellent combination that would have definitely helped the game's sales. Unfortunately, NGamers Magazine reported that the peripheral will simply be used to move the board left and right.

"You can't use the board to pull off tricks - that's only done with the remote and nunchuck - but along with the likes of Family Ski, Skate It is further proof that what could be achieved with the new peripheral is fresh and exciting."

Of course there would be tricks that would be simply impossible to pull off with just the board, which is where I thought the balance board and the wiimote and nunchuck would be combined. But after hearing that report, I was sad to see that no tricks, not even simple things that wouldn't require much effort such as doing manuals, ollies or nollies, would be performed using the balance board. If they were to use the balance board for simple things such as jumping and the like, it could've freed up more button combinations to perform even more tricks too.

Since all you will be doing with the balance board is standing still, with the occasional adjustments of your feet, I know that I just might have to pass up on getting this game.
