In an interview with Siliconera, Hudson had this to say when asked about any new features in its upcoming version of Tetris for WiiWare:
It features a number of new rules and items. Currently, we’re tossing around the idea of using the [WiiFit] Balance Board. The game also supports 6-player WiFi battle.
While I am really excited to see developers taking chances with new ways to play classic games (yay, creativity!), I don’t know how well the Balance Board and Tetris go together. Will you move the pieces around by leaning? Could be interesting, I guess. If anything, the idea of me being able to play Tetris with two free hands makes me very happy. My dream of eating an ice cream cone, brushing my hair, and playing a videogame all at the same time could soon be a reality!
What do you think? Is this idea intriguing or just plain odd? What other classic games could get the Balance Board treatment? (Q*Bert!)

I don't know. I don't really think Tetris + balance board would be too good. That's just me though,
Or CARNIVAL GAMES. Hit your WiiFit board with a gigantic hammer to see how strong you are! Hope you weren't planning on ever using it again.
WHERE THE FUCK IS RFGO!?!?!?
Make it happen, Capcom.
You never used the power pad as a kid or played DDR? :( :( :(
So maybe, if your sitting down, pressing harder on the right moves right, hard on the left moves left, tap = rotate?
Obviously I don't know it the board can really be used like this?
Gorglenox 4 life!!!!!!!!!
lolwut?
Is there some kind of inverse law partitioning a controller's cost and it's... um, level of control?
