It's been a while since we saw a Nintendo-published game that uses the Balance Board, surprising considering the number of boards sat in living rooms around the world, but a new patent filing has revealed a motorcycle game could be in the works at Nintendo Software Technology.
The application shows a first-person motorcycle game controlled with the Balance Board, with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk acting as handlebars. Players would control the motorbike (or, in another example of software, a jetski) by leaning their body left or right to pull off sharp turns using all three controllers.
As with most patent applications, the existence of this filing isn't evidence of such a game being in development, but if it were in the works we'd expect to hear more about it at E3 this year.

So... Excite Bike Wii?
More like something along the lines of Excitebike EXTREMEEEEEE.
This reminds me, "What ever happened to the vitality sensor?"
Cool, hope it gets made and is fun.
Sounds good to me; I'd buy it.
I think the vitality sensor will be part of the wii 2 controller, think about it.
Road Rash would be pretty neato, actually punching people off bikes haha.. I'd buy that!
Excite series is currently overexploted, and with a fpv, What about Mach Rider Wii?
I would prefer a F-Zero wii but that probably wouldn't use the balance board. This might be cool.
sounds good.
They can also do a Waver Racer in this setup.
