Wii Fit Balance Board The Wii Balance Board is an innovative peripheral for Wii that's simple, fun, and it's a great way to get you off of the couch and into the action. The Wii Balance Board is more than just a scale - it can read your real-life movements and bring them to life on screen, just like the Wii Remote controller. Realistically snowboard down a mountain or walk a tight rope - it's just one more way to get into the game.
