The Balance Wii Board will be getting more support in Japan as early as tomorrow! Hudson announced today a final Japanese release date for Board Warriors, an all new snowboarding game that uses the Wii Fit peripheral as an optional input device.
As far as Balance Wii Board snowboarding titles go, Namco Bandai beat Hudson to the punch with Family Ski. But Board Warriors is a bit different in that it's on WiiWare. The game will be available for download to Japanese Wii systems tomorrow (February 10) at 1,000 WiiPoints.
Outside of the Balance Wii Board support, Board Warriors includes Wi-Fi support, allowing four players to race down the slopes competitively, making use of items to get the fastest time. Of course, those who'd rather play by themselves can choose to do so against the CPU.
This release information concerns Japan only at the moment. However, screenshots of the ranking mode at the game's official Japanese site show slots for countries apart from Japan, suggesting that Hudson plans an international release for this one. We'll let you know if we hear anything.
