E3 2009: Konami unveils Balance Board-based DDR

Well this was certainly unexpected. Konami’s press conference just moments ago unveiled a brand new Dance Dance Revolution game for the Wii. That’s not the unexpected part. Parts of the game allow for Wii Remote and Nunchuk integration. That’s not new either. Unlike previous versions of DDR, and even unlike previous versions on the Wii itself, this new DDR game uses the Balance Board. You’ll be expected to shift your weight and sway your hips in sync with the arrows, wave your arms, and keep up with the game’s new fitness-oriented goals.

Something tells me that this will become more of a test to see how well you can control shifting your weight at the speeds of the songs without falling over, but I’ll reserve my real judgement until I can try it out for myself. It does look pretty interesting…
