Balance Board takes to the slopes with Shaun White

Ubisoft’s Shaun White Snowboarding is officially on board in the balance department (did you see that? It confuses me a little too, don’t worry).
During Ubidays, the company’s personal little press event, they demonstrated the control setup, but didn’t allow for attendees to give it a whirl. As you might expect, the boarder is controlled by the player’s motions on the Balance Board, and tricks are handled with the Wiimote.
Hooray for early support of the Balance Board! Hopefully this starts a trend for games to include (but not require) board usage. The last thing anybody wants is a game that is crippled by requiring peripheral use, I’m looking at you Four Swords.
