There's been a lot of complaints about a lack of quality games this year, but if it cheers anyone up, at least some of the new hardware was great. Both the wii wheel and the balance board have a lot of potential.:D

The Balance Board and WiiSpeak are decent enough,but I really don't think the Wii Wheel is that good of a peripheral.I'm not much of a fan of the tilt controls of racing games on the Wii,anyways.

I just recently picked up a Wii on sale a few months ago. So far I've used the balance board on 2 games: Wii Fit and Shaun White snowbaording. I love that peripheral, it works amazingly well on the one first party title and the one thrd party title I've used it for.

Even though I don't have the BB and Wiispeak, and I don't really like the wheel, I actually agree with you.

I agree.

The Balance Board is a great peripheral that has yet to see it's full potential. Wii Speak just came out, but it obviously has a bright future.

And even though the Wii Wheel is nothing more than a plastic shell, it's the best plastic shell ever and I refuse to play Mario Kart without it.

Yes, 2008 was a great year for Wii peripherals, but please, no more.

The Wii has some good peripherals, well, at least if you look past those Wii Remote add-ons by Nerf.

2009 will be great when the M+ comes around.

Ok, no more though, after M+, there should not be any more peripherals. Just replace all the great peripherals with great games for next year :D

I'm waiting for Conduit too, but I might rent it first because the Wii has no demos, and I want to make sure it's good before I buy it. Back on topic, yeah some Wii prepherials kicked *** this year.
