First Wii Balance Board game unveiled
Namco has announced it is to release the first third-party game to utilise the Nintendo Wii's Balance Board device in the US.

We Ski will support up to four players and feature 23 ski runs as players control their Mii or create new in-game characters.

Discussing the controls, a Namco spokesman said: "Not only can players carve through the trails using the motion-based controls but they can also mix in the Wii Balance Board for a whole new level of realism."

The Balance Board, which is being sold as part of the Wii Fit exercise game, will be released in the UK on April 25.

We Ski will be released in the US on May 19, but no UK release plans have yet been announced.
