No word yet on whether the balance board will be reinforced for Western audiences? It's current limit is 21 stone but given the current obesity crisis wouldn't it be better to make something able to stand up to more portly frames?

That's why it's mid-May before it's available in the US!

Speaking as an overweight American, this was actually my first question....

The balance board can take up to 135 kg so the vast majority of us are covered.

wouldn't it be better to make sure the 'vast' minority are gonna be ok to use this?

paris, cos she would deffo be ok (weightwise!)

To be honest, how many of the "vast" minority would actually bother?

Paris, because having her in my bed would be better exercise than any Wii game.

The Wii Balance board is perfect for 2 player Time Crisis, one half of the board per person. Tony Hawks might even be in the pipeline, though IMHO, they suck big time. Personally I'm dripping with anticipation at the thought of playing Mario Kart Wii as I've played MKDD and the DS version to death.
