BodySurf — Audiosurf Meets the Wii Balance Board

Posted by timothy on

Chardish writes "Forget the hype about Wii Fit — the coolest thing about the Wii Balance Board is its potential as a game controller, and what better way to christen a new peripheral than by rigging it to work with games that predate the peripheral's existence? BodySurf is a (somewhat lengthy) GlovePIE script that manipulates the input of the Balance Board to work with the PC music game Audiosurf. It's fairly sophisticated, and includes Wiimote motion controls, special controls for each character, weight calibration, and a few play options."

      I loved that game. I played it until I was blue in the face.

    It also predicted my body age as 33 which I was a bit miffed about, as I think my balance is pretty good.

    Are you by any chance a big-nosed barbarian? Check to see if your region is set to Japan :D
