KOEI UK has just announced that the latest installment of their G1 Jockey series will include Wii Balance Board support.

"With G1 jockey we have always strived to recreate the full horse racing experience in the most realistic and enjoyable way possible. The Nintendo Wii and now the Wii Balance Board have enabled us to continue our desire to bring every facet of this fascinating sport into the homes of passionate horse racing fans and gamers who want to enjoy a sporting experience like no other." Naoki Katashima, Executive Vice President KOEI Europe and US.

By assuming a jockey crouch position, players will be able to leap fences and steer their horse to victory. And there's more to the game than just racing itself as it will include a career mode, allowing you to work your way through the ranks and even breed your own horses to develop thoroughbred winners.

The game is scheduled for release in the UK and across Europe this September.
