G1 Jockey gallops aboard Balance Board bandwagon

We're not vain people who fret about occasionally looking silly (a quick peek inside our wardrobes would more or less confirm this), so stretching, swiveling and gurning on the Balance Board in front of others was never a huge deal for us.
However, our indifferent attitude might yet be tested by G1 Jockey. Koei announced today that its horsey sim would also utilize the Balance Board, allowing players to adjust the position of their on-screen jockey as they "whip" their invisible steeds with the Wiimote. Picture somebody playing that game for a moment; doesn't it sound just a little too ridiculous? Apparently not. "Assuming a jockey crouch and powering to victory should brighten up even the longest of faces," lies the press release.
Fortunately for us, we are just about vain enough not to be seen in public purchasing a copy of G1 Jockey.

Did they have to buy pixels individually? I don't see enough in that screen shot to warrant a group discount for sure.
And the press release... "longest faces" Really? That's what you're going with? ok...
