The Balance Wii Board is being put to use in a new way thanks to Studio Zan. The Japanese development house who previously worked on the PSP version of Dungeon Explorer for Hudson shared first details and screens today on Overturn, a new WiiWare title that lets players use the Wii Fit peripheral as a control option.
In Overturn, you take control of a mech and face off against rivals on the battle field. One of the big selling points seems to be how you control the mech: by leaning your body on the Balance Wii Board. We're going to also guess that standard controls are included as well, but you can bet we'll be trying out the new control scheme first just to see how well it works.
Studio Zan is packing Overturn full of multiplayer options. Locally, two players can battle in either vertical or horizontal split screen. Network play allows for four player team-based or battle royal gameplay via Wi-Fi Connect, along with network rankings.

The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
Interesting WiiWare title!. Might have to give this guys a call.
