I figured Wii Sports Resort would be one as well.

And it's amazing how MKW and WF keep selling.

With 21million Balance Boards out there, I wonder why Nintendo haven't bothered releasing any other balance board focused games. Smilie

Wii Music Drums and Punch Out! don't count. Smilie

Nintendo seem to be forming a terrible habit where they take a concept and release one game for it then move on. Online play was explored with mario kart, wii speak explored with animal crossing, wii board- wii fit.

why cant NSMB or resort have online? why isnt there an on rails platformer that uses the balance board
