Wii Fit Accessories!

Wii Fit Accessories are BACK!

Ok, they may have never really went anywhere, but I think this fits. After the holidays a lot of items kind of took a back seat to oh, say, credit card payments and such... but now I am back on the horse and ready to get me some more accessories/games for my Wii Fit.

I'm not sure what my next game for the Wii Fit will be, but I do know that I want to buy one very soon. What do you think the best Wii Fit games are? We Ski? The Cheer game (so little girls can be girly), Wii Music or something else?

With all of the different Wii Fit Accessories on the market I don't know what I am going to do... oh well, maybe I will just have to suck it up and choose. :)

Wii Fit Game/Accessory #1: Shaun White Snowboarding

I have been looking at these different Wii Fit Games and Accessories quite a bit recenlty and I have to say that the one that is jumping out to me right now is Shaun White Snowboarding Road Trip. It just looks like a really cool game.
Here is what a is a little about what Amazon had to say about it:

Amazon.com Product Description
Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip for Nintendo Wii introduces a whole new way of playing snowboarding games. Developed by Ubisoft, Shaun White Snowboarding was developed from the ground up to take advantage of the Wii Balance Board, giving you an experience that is more intuitive, realistic, and fun.

 Hop Onto the Wii Balance Board for a Realistic Experience
The Wii Balance Board is an accessory from Nintendo that works and is shaped like an elongated scale, with sensors that can tell how much and where pressure is applied when you stand on it. This works perfectly with Shaun White Snowboarding, as it can detect whether you are leaning forward, back, left, or right, and it reacts like a real snowboard would.

To jump, you quickly shift your weight to the balls of your feet, and while in the air, you tap the A or B buttons and lean left and right to grab the board and spin, respectively. A multitude of tricks are available for you to learn, and chaining them together lets you amass more points. As you do tricks, a small little icon shows up on the screen to let you know what you did. For example, if you do a 720-degree turn called a "melon," a little watermelon slice will show up on screen.

If you would rather forego the Balance Board, you can play with just the Wii Remote as well.

Play With or Against Your Friends
Road Trip doesn't have online multiplayer options, but you can play both competitively and cooperatively with a friend on a split screen. In competitive mode, you and a friend can race to the bottom or try to out-trick each other for the highest score. In cooperative mode, both of you ride down the same slope, and the scores are added together. The entire game can be played cooperatively, so you and a friend can tour the world together and unlock new extras.
