Not only is is the mega-mech game Steel Battalion getting a Wii remake, but the game will reportedly use most of Nintendo's accessories to recreate the mech-pilot experience (http://www.balanceboardblog.com/2008/12/steel-battalion-wii-supports-wii.html).
In a Japanese press conference, Capcom has apparently confirmed that it is adapting the Xbox's Steel Battalion for the Nintendo Wii, and that it will include support for the Wii Balance Board.
In Steel Battalion, players take control of massive bi-pedal mecha on a variety of dangerous missions. The original game came with a huge, $200 USD controller that acted as the dashboard for the robot, and quickly became a collector's piece.
Capcom explains that with the Wii Remote, Nunchuck, Wii Wheel and Wii Balance Board, this whole experience can be re-created... and for a whole lot less wonga - around $45 USD.
While I doubt this is real, would anyone here like a mech-pilot simulator that uses the balance board?
