Skate It, from Electronic Arts, is an upcoming skateboard game, which is due for UK release on November 21st, 2008 with an RRP on £39.99. If you head over to Amazon, however, it's available to preorder now for just £29.99.
Skate It is a spin off of the game Skate, which was released in 2007 and is based in the same fictional city of San Vanelona. In this game, the city has seen widespread evacuation, which will leave the player to skate freely around without the typical interruptions of urban life.
Although available on both the Nintendo DS and Wii, it's only the Wii version that will, of course, support the Wii Balance Board. And as another treat for Wii owners, it will support both 480p and widescreen format!
Skateboarding was widely suggested as one of the most compelling possible uses of the Wii Balance Board, and this game really looks like it won't disappoint. Check out this video to get a better idea of how it will all work:

Wii Music
Wii Music's release is not far away at all - you've only got until October 20th to wait! The RRP is £39.99, but if you nip over to Amazon you'll be able to preorder for just £29.99!
With Wii Music, you'll be able to simulate playing musical instruments, with the Wii Remote, Nunchuck and, of course, the Wii Balance Board.
You'll get to control a six member Mii band (controlling up to four players simultaneously if playing single player), so as you can imagine things will get quite hectic - you can even choose to control a complete orchestra! What's more, there's a whopping forty instruments for you to get to grips with, so it sounds as if there will never be a dull moment with Wii Music!
The Wii Balance Board comes into play when playing the drums, which you'll use for the pedals. So, although it seems the Wii Balance Board doesn't take centre stage in this game, I know that won't be putting me off!
For those who love the music accompanying Nintendo games, you're in for a treat: The Legend of Zelda Overlord Theme and the Super Mario Bros Theme are just two that will be familiar to you!

Don King Presents Prizefighter Boxing
Don King Presents Prizefighter Boxing is due for release on January 30th, 2009 with an RRP of £39.99.
Times have certainly moved on since the era of Punch Out on the NES which was first released in 1987. A far cry from that game, this game will likely provide the most lifelike boxing experience yet, benefiting not only from superb graphics but also the use of the Wii Balance Board in the training games!
To get an idea of just how stunning the graphics are, check out this trailer:
You won't just participate in one off fights, instead the game will see you building your career through all the trials and tribulations that the sport of boxing has. Not only does the gameplay look incredibly realistic, but it'll be further enhanced by voices and images of world famous boxers which will tell the story of your journey in the boxing world.

Shaun White Snowboarding Road Trip
Shaun White Snowboarding is due for release 14th November 2008 with an RRP of £34.99.
If you don't know who Shaun White is, he's a gold medallist from the 2006 Winter Olympic Games. Shaun not only features in the game, but has also had valuable design input which guarantees it's going to be a lifelike experience!
Although also due for release on the other console platforms, it's only on the Wii that you'll become fully-immersed in the experience thanks to the Wii Balance Board - your friends are bound to be jealous!
Here's a trailer from E3 2008:
You'll tour the world in the game, participating in varied snowboarding action such as half pipe competitions and freeriding. You'll compete in locations such as the Alps, Alaska and Japan with mountains providing three different sections to keep you entertained.
You needn't snowboard alone, of course: the multiplayer component of this game allows for both cooperative and competitive boarding, so should you tire of the single player action this is bound to provide longevity.

Family Ski
Family Ski (known as We Ski outside of Europe), was released on the 13th June 2008 with an RRP of £44.99 and is the first game for the Wii Balance Board.
However, since launch it has been in and out of stock, so you might have to do some hunting around before you manage to get your hands on a copy.
Equipped with your Wii Balance Board and Family Ski, you can "make every day a snow day"! Here's a trailer of this exciting game:
Much like the snowboarding mini-game on Wii Fit, you use the Wii Balance Board to distribute your weight and steer your Mii to skiing success! However, this game is far more fully-fledged: not only does it have 14 different courses, which you can race both at day and night, you'll also become far more immersed in the action by using the Wiimote and Nunchuck as skiiing poles!
You can take photos of your most eventful games, and even share these via the Wii's WiFi connection to show of your prowess and make you the envy of your friends!

Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party
Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party is part of the immensely popular Rayman series of games from Ubisoft, and is due for release on 21st November 2008 with an RRP of £39.99.
Being on this site, of course, it is going to make full use of the Wii Balance Board - with gameplay types such as precision and balance - in some hilarious moments!
Here's the trailer for the game to get a taster:
This game will see the antagonist Rabbids taking control of Rayman's TV station for a whole seven days. Armed with your Wii Balance Board, your mission is simple: reclaim Rayman's TV station in 65+ all new games!
If this task is too daunting, in the multiplayer mode you can have 8 players taking part in the party mode - and the addition of the Wii Balance Board should make this an even more comical party game than the predecessor Rayman games on the Wii! However, you don't have to play fair, as you can always sabbotage your friends whilst they are playing!
