Wii Ware Tetris title might include balance board controls

Published by Pete at 8:27 pm

balance-tetris2.jpgThe Executive Vice President of Hudson in Japan, Kentaro Murayama, recently commented on the Wii Ware titles being prepared by the company. Most of the talk was of the two Bomberman games and Alien Crush, as Tetris barely got a sentence. However, that small blurb held some intriguing information. When asked about additional features in the Wii Ware version, Murayama responded:

It features a number of new rules and items. Currently, we’re tossing around the idea of using the Balance Board. The game also supports 6-Player Wi-Fi battle.

An interesting proposition. Obviously, the board could be used for side to side positioning, and with a Wii-mote in hand to take charge of the rotation and fast fall duties, it could be quite fun. If the sensitivity isn’t just right, however, and the mode becomes an instant frustrating mess. I vote try it. What do you think?

    I don’t know about this because I find Tetris is basically perfect in the first place so why mess with the formula?
