Joystiq [Nintendo]

One wheel to rule them all

While not direct inspiration for the Balance Board, this is a timeline of Nintendo peripherals so cut us a break. Releasing a mere month before Wii Fit (and, in turn, the Balance Board), the Wii Wheel (which comes bundled with Mario Kart Wii) allows the player to feel more at home in controlling a racing title, rather than just holding the Wiimote sideways on its own. Of course, not everyone feels that way.
