Family Ski support Wii Balance Board

 Apparently, the Wii Fit is about to pick up a partner, courtesy of Namco-Bandai’s Family Ski sports title. A recent advert for the game indicates that it will indeed be supporting the Wii balance board as controller. It was previously believed that the game would only use the Wiimote-Nunchuck configuration to help us navigate our way through its powder-packed slopes. More details for Family Ski were also revealed – you can catch up on the via the full article.

Namco has just released a couple of new details regarding their upcoming Family Ski game for the Nintendo Wii console. And from the looks of it, aside from using the standard Wiimote-Nunchuck configuration we’ve already come to expect, the game will also support the Wii Balance Board.

It looks like the company had a change of heart, given they previously stated it would not be supporting the new peripheral. We imagine this will come as great news for those hoping to include this title in their workout regimen – it’ll make a good complement to Wii Fit.

It also appears that Family Ski is dated for January 31 next year, at an expected retail price of 5,500 (US$ 50). Unfortunately, there is still no word on a North America release. Japan‘s Wii Fit is scheduled for release next month, at an expected retail price of 8,800 (US$ 75).
