@Gordonium: Labs are too busy sniffing out bombs and drugs, guiding the blind, and helping disabled veterans to play video games. They're also too smart to pay $120 for a game that kinda sucks.
I think that this dog has made several cognitive breakthroughs. It understands that the screen is connected to the board and that the board can control the skater. Even understanding the "concept" of controlling something externally is completely alien to a dog.
@Gary_7vn: And could you imagine what an awesome feeling it is to wake up every day and be able to say "My dog really is better than your dog." And this time, you meant it. For real and for true.
Is this going to be available on Wii? Probably got too much pressure from Nintendo to not tarnish it's all white selection of controllers and such. Would be bad ass if you could grip-tape that mother.
hey holy shit here's one they could actually do - a 'speed wobble' feature, where the board starts fighting with you and amplifying your balance adjustments side to side when you reach a certain speed! THAT would be cool as all hell.
also, there ought to be a 'pebble' feature where, at random intervals, the board suddenly tips forward and ejects the rider into full face-plant. you know, for realism.
@nutbastard: Problem with that is that adjusting truck nuts is a bit beyond comprehension for non-skaters, and they could end up seriously hurting themse....
They should make a game about the circus, and you have to stand on a ball with sensors in it, much like the elephants in the game do. That'd do well, right?

I guarantee you everyone who regularly skateboards has experienced this.

that's the whole reason why i ride 85a's, even though they're hard to find in small (normal) diameters

As for the tippyness, I can't believe they didn't build in a truck tightness adjustment nut. loose trucks = suck.
