The Wii Board is amazing. I tried the Wii the first time in May 2006, 6 months before it was released at the E3 in Los Angeles. I knew immediately that the Wii was the most awesome gaming console ever made. Now the Wii Board provides even more amazing interactivity that requires you to put your whole body into work and have complete control over your balance.

In this example you can use the Wiimote as a drumkit.

One will possibly be able to log online to buy old NES, SNES, N64 and GameCube games as downloads. Possibly one will be able to connect an external usb2 harddrive to the Wii to thus have external storage space for the Wii to be able to download big N64, GameCube and Wii games on-demand directly from Nintendo online, thus saving money on useless resellers and other businesses that make games retail prices so high.

The controller feels just perfectly precise and usefull in this game, thus proving that the controller really works well.

It seems to kind of work, but there might be some very slight delay or some other way of synchronizing the sounds that made it sometimes sound a bit unnatural. Watch the video and judge for yourself. I would else think that this kind of game would be simply awesome. Imagine mixing this with Wii Orchestra, Wii keyboard, Wii guitar and more instruments, and imagine if you could create extremely original music this way..
