Is it wrong that I really want it?

Cheerleading sounds less sedate than the Balance Board and I LOVE Bring it On >.>

@gusiskirby: Maybe you should click the link in the article. Namco Bandai is releasing We Ski (a.k.a. Family Ski).

And that's on top of the snowboarding and ski jumping mini-games already in Wii Fit.

Somewhere out there, there's an EA producer salivating... cheerleader mini-game for Madden and NBA. It'll give the girlfriends something todo during play stoppages.

Clearly cheer-balancing is a much better use of this peripheral than skateboarding/surfing, hover-boarding, a Super Monkeyball variant, or an amusing platformer about a drunken, stumbling robot.

I hope other developers start to make games using the balance board as well, just not games like this.

Luke, you have to change your line of work, Eliza likes pizza deliverymen.

As for the THQ's target demographic, they're better off aiming at a much younger female audience. Like the DS kind. Cheerleaders are all about bringin' it, nowadays.

This will take me right back to cheering in high school. We used to employ balance boards all the time. WAIT, NO WE DIDN'T. Wouldn't it make more sense to somehow use the Wiimote and Nunchuk as, like, pom-poms?
