Wow, it's been a busy 24 hours with sightings on videogaming247 of three new Balance Board game rumours.
First up, it's news of a concept for Wii Yoga, supposedly spotted on research website, Intellisponse. The leaked blurb has this to say:
"In the game 'Wii Yoga', boost your energy, flexibility and improve your well being the fun way through an adaptable weekly schedule of interactive exercises that will leave you feeling refreshed. Follow along with an inspirational yoga guru instructor matching their on-screen poses, stretches and triangular positions with the motion sensing Wii controller and Balance Board. Track your progress, compare your fitness results with friends and family, and feel good about yourself as you enhance your physical health."
Next up, and from the same source, is news of 14 potential Spidey games with at least one of them, Spider-Man: Agile Warrior said to include Wii Balance Board support. Here's what the blurb had to say about this one:
"It might be Spider-Man's heart that keeps him going. Or maybe his strength. Step into Spider-Man's shoes and decide for yourself - one jump, leap, stomp and kick at a time. Climb atop your Wii Fit board to control Spider-Man's acrobatic abilities like nothing before. Lean one way or the other to send Spider-Man soaring in the air. Jump as high as you can to propel Spider-Man off Manhattan's tallest rooftops. Hop quickly to help Spidey climb walls and get a vertical advantage over his enemies. Stomp your feet to kick and cartwheel foes in the cirty's darkest alleys. It's been said that the fate of New York lies in Spider-Man's hands. Control his feet and see the truth for yourself: heroes don't enter the battle, they jump into it."
Lastly it's news that Tony Hawk may finally be joining the balance board party with news that Tony Hawk’s Adrenaline will make use of "a new motion sensing board controller". That doesn't necessarily mean that the controller is the Wii Balance Board since according to the original post on joystiq, there was no mention of a Wii version, just Xbox, PS3 and PC versions so the plot thickens. Could this be the start of a competing peripheral? We can only hope that a Wii version is also in the works and that it will be Wii Board compatible.
Of course all of this is highly speculative and based on information that I assume wasn't supposed to be publicly available so I wouldn't get too excited just yet. Also bear in mind that these are still 'concepts' which means they may never actually see the light of day so I won't be adding any of these to the Wii Balance Board Games List just yet.
