When I was watching the video the first thought that crossed my mind was that here comes another Jane Fonda kinda of video that will tell us how to do our exercises. But as the video progressed (thankfully) my impressions changed. The idea of using the soccer game, marbles balance, yoga, hula-hoop and dance into the system is so cool! As a result I'm so besotted with the Balance Board accessory, hopefully I'll get one for my birthday. Checkout the features, after the jump.

The Nintendo Balance Board accessory for Wii has the following features:
- The Balance Board features a pressure sensor, which detects your weight shifts and predicts the movement for the rest of your body.
- There are a number of standard fitness activities included such as balancing exercises, pushups, yoga, BMI calculation and other calisthenics.
- Also included are a number of mini games such as hula-hoop, soccer and a marble madness-type game, which use the Balance Board in interesting ways.
- The rhythm game is bound to become popular.
The Balance board will hit stores in the first half of 2008.
