Using the Wii Balance Board and Wiimote/Nunchuk combo, you climb a rock wall. It’s as easy as that. At the Game Developers Conference that just happened, the Rock and Roll Climber game was previewed.

Well, that’s - um - hey cool!
The interface looks pretty cool - the Balance Board detects balance shifting, and the climbing controls look interesting. I’ll reserve judgement.

Are “core gamers” the people like yours here at WeKnowWii.com, Nintendic, GameDaily, IGN, and others who take some time to inform others as to new games, news, information, and other Wii-related stuff?
What do you think? Post in the comments, we’d love to hear about it.
