Thrustmaster puts a board on your (balance) board
by Richard Mitchell

Perhaps such a peripheral could interfere with games designed to work with a naked Balance Board but, assuming it works as advertised, the T-Freestyle NW just might be the thing to make your extreme games that much more extreme. For the asking price of $29.99, it had better.
Expect the T-Freestyle NW to hit shelves at the end of November.

I want to put up the obvious Xzbit meme for this, but I can not.

I kinda perfered the Tony Hawk: Ride peripheral, but that's just me.

Actually, I think I agree with you.

I'll buy three just to spite Activision.

Yo dawg, I heard you like skateboarding so we put a board on your board so you can balance while you skate. Hrm... that doesn't sound right.

Can we get a "What's in a Name?" detailing Thrustmaster please?
I'm dying to know!
Ulquiorra Cifer @ Nov 5th 2009 10:39PM
Maybe if it was for the 360, but nah we have Natal, hehe

THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!
BEGONE, TROLL!

You're right, because when people want to play games to settle down they jump in front of their TV and fling their arms and legs everywhere.

Ok, now you're just trying to get a rise out of people. At least make it sound sort of legit.

Hmm...persuasion or Lightning?
Hell with it!

Bobby is a bean counter for a living. Don't doubt his math.
Ulquiorra Cifer @ Nov 5th 2009 10:55PM
if I didnt know better, it seems some of you ladies are the same gal
Bobby Kotick @ Nov 5th 2009 10:56PM
Aw, what's the matter? Surprised that more than one person has a different opinion than you?
Das Boot @ Nov 5th 2009 10:57PM
HEY. ULQUIORRA. WOULD YOU KINDLY UNINSTALL LIFE?

If you need it, the directory is C:/Programs/Hasbro/TheGameOfLife.exe
You're welcome.

Seriously, I think this is a stupid product.
A plastic board on another plastic board....I don't think this thing will last long. Especially if the people on it are going to focus their weight on a particular spot.
I think I would fall on this thing too. It says that there's a "fall stopper", but leaning without moving is a hard stance to maintain.
I like motion controls for certain games, but this is taking it a little too far.
Giroro @ Nov 5th 2009 10:43PM
It's actually made of real maple. It's probably actually built off of a real skate deck. that would at least be a lot cheaper for the company than for them to try to design a plastic board and then set up a factory to manufacture them.
Das Boot @ Nov 5th 2009 11:00PM
In other news: This device will go down in history as having "The Most Suggestive Name" of all time.
Right behind this device is the "Yank-IT-H4rd" PC motion controller.
In a close third is the "Can U See it Now?" Gamer Enhancing Vision glasses.
Enjoy your award.

Yo Dawg, we heard you like snowboarding, so we put a board on yo board so you can ride while you ride.
Blank-Mage @ Nov 5th 2009 11:21PM
No amount of cool looking peripherals will change the fact you're on a Wii Balance Board in your living room. Just think about that. It's called the Wii. You can't try to make that cool.
Blank-Mage @ Nov 5th 2009 11:23PM
Although I'll admit that looks pretty awesome.
Wait, dammit, what am I saying?!
ArrA @ Nov 6th 2009 12:54AM
Thankfully there are still people out there who actually learn to skate a real board.
DinnyHoon @ Nov 6th 2009 5:46AM
Damn those people who can't skate in real life having skate-based fun on video games! Damn them to hell! And those assholes with Guitar Hero! Or Modern Warfare! Try joining the REAL army, losers!
ArrA @ Nov 6th 2009 8:10AM
If you're going to stick a deck to the wii balance board you may as well learn to skate.
whylekat @ Nov 6th 2009 7:15AM
Damn that looks Bad ass.... If I were still 15 yrs old =P
