It may have been posted already, but I just ran across this. Although a little childish, I still think it could keep me quite entertained. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00HyMxiYNKI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00HyMxiYNKI</a>

I wonder if its compatible with the balance board?

WAVERACE! Oh, excuse me...

jessemitchell 07-18-2009 10:11 AM

Whoa, it looks great

daveronix199 07-18-2009 10:39 AM

That lil guy must be ridnig a marius...taking it into the flats everytime!!!!

^^ I was thinking a wakeboard game wtih the same sort of controls/style as the Amped snowboard series.... but it is about time with one, and hopefully more realistic.... not that I can't throw the rope, boardslide a 100ft mountain top, transfer down to a houseboat, jib some power lines and get the rope back... but I just usually don't like to show off.

2-3 companies should throw in on making a game. Their riders and their boards in it. Good new marketing channel

benjaminp 07-18-2009 2:57 PM

Someone needs to teach the folks at Nintendo how to drive a boat.

jasonpav 07-18-2009 4:34 PM

people who play this game will do terrible when trying to learn to wakeboard, they will be turning the handle like a steering wheel. Was anyone else annoyed by the constant "Whoa! Nice jump". Can't they just have music?

homedawg678 07-18-2009 4:55 PM

Guy looks like he his driving a car, not wakeboarding lol

duffmangt 07-18-2009 5:28 PM

the boat didnt have tower speakers...the rider couldnt hear the music <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/sad.gif" ALT=":-(" BORDER=0>

how about a wii wakeboard game that uses the balance board for weight transfers (edging) and the remote for handle position or something like that. That might make for a pretty legit game...

all_board_rider 07-18-2009 9:23 PM

^^^ fo sho! pretty legit, but i aint about to go buy a wii because of it...this game will do in the mean time <a href="http://www.addictinggames.com/switchwakeboarding.html?cid=YSSP" target="_blank">http://www.addictinggames.com/switchwakeboarding.html?cid=YSSP</a>

mikef9844 07-18-2009 10:10 PM

whoa! nice! yea! good jump! I would be pissed at my boat driver, drive in a straight line, the wake is getting washy. <BR> <BR>I think i would get bored of this game after 3 minutes. <BR> <BR>I saw where tony hawk's new game uses a wii pad like thing that looks like a skateboard. seems pretty cool maybe they could do the edging with the pad and handle for tricks.

I have Shaun White's Snowboarding Road Trip game and you can use the balance board for it plus the wiimote(haha) for the grabs and airs and stuff. Pretty sick I thought

anodyne 07-19-2009 8:27 AM

I'm sorry, but wakeboarding games suck... it's too linear of a sport to lend itself to videogame format. <BR> <BR>You ever played one for more than 30 seconds before you got bored? None of us have.

gene3x 07-19-2009 8:59 AM

The sport is not linear. The Sport has so many different facets to it that it would be hard to duplicate a simulation of it.

wakeslife 07-19-2009 5:21 PM

If they could incorporate boat, cable, and winching into one game, holy crap that would be tight. Like you start out riding the cable and winching until you could afford a boat, etc. <BR> <BR>The thing is, when we we're talking to Murray at his camp about his game he said the producers weren't too happy with the number of copies sold and another one did not seem too reasonable...

behindtheboat 07-19-2009 7:23 PM

There has to be a Grandma's Boy that's in to wakeboarding

garret_s 07-19-2009 7:40 PM

someone should cook up a wii game where people learn to drive a boat correctly. For instance, you get docked points when you powerturn or almost slam your jetski into a rider. <BR> <BR>Just look at this intense equation I worked up: <BR> <BR>Wii Boatdriver + uneducated wii-playing masses = better lakes for everyone.

trewblu 07-19-2009 8:00 PM

were can you find that and whats it called?

waterdork88 07-20-2009 8:17 AM

Can't believe I wasnt the first one to call out WaveRace... BWAHAHAA... Its warmuptime follow that dolphin <BR> <BR>We all know this wont even compare with Shaun Murray's game, but its good to see that they're still making videogames for wakeboarding regardless of how realistic the movements are.

"It's warm up time, follow that dolphin!" LOL, I remember that. <BR> <BR>I always enjoyed cruising the dolphin. Not sure if it was a cheat you entered, or if it was eventually unlocked.
