I am a Nintendo fan who has been there since the NES. I am also game developer and enjoy trying a new spin on traditional games. You can find my free games at JackGames.com.
People who have followed my on-again, mostly off-again, but now it’s on-again blog know that the concept of playing Tetris for the sake of physical activity is nothing new. Roll the clip..
Since Tetris really only requires 4 inputs from the player (move right, move left, rotate and drop), it is relatively easy to map these inputs to movements; and pretty easy for a player to understand.
I would have liked them to map the balance board to the same input as the nunchuck analog stick. That way you would instantly have a load of backwards compatible games to at least try with the balance board. But I digress…
The webcam game shown here – TetroDance is now free at http://JackGames.com if you want to give this concept a test run. Needless to say a webcam is required.
