Need an excuse to blow a bunch of money on WII stuff?

Here you go:

BodySurf is a script for GlovePIE that rigs up the Wii Balance Board to play Audiosurf, the music game that lets you ride the boogie.

It is full-featured, with a strong focus on player immersion and ease of user interface. The controls are simple and intuitive: the player moves by leaning from side to side on the balance board, and most character abilities are activated by motion controls.

The system requirements are fairly simple: you need only a Wii Balance Board, a computer with Bluetooth, and a Wii Remote (which you probably have if you have a Balance Board anyway.) You also (obviously) need a copy of Audiosurf, which is $10 on Steam.

Mono Pro: Hold A+B on the Wiimote to scoop all three lanes. To jump, simply jump up off the balance board. (See warnings.)

Pointman: Hold A+B to pick up a block or powerup, release to let go of it. To get the hint arrows, point the Wiimote vertically – after all, you need to raise your hand when you want help

Vegas: Shake the Wiimote (like you’re getting ready to roll dice) to deploy your powerup.

Eraser: Hold A+B on the Wiimote to erase.

Pusher: Point the Wiimote to the left or right to indicate which direction to push.

Ninja Mono: Hold A+B on the Wiimote to scoop all three lanes, and thrust the Wiimote forward to throw a shuriken.

Audiosurf is a music-adapting puzzle racing game where the shape, speed and mood of the game adapts to the music that you choose.

You earn points for clustering blocks of color on the highway. You can also compete with others on the Internet for the high score on favorite songs.

It requires Steam on PC – which cuts me out – but I like the Tron/Kraftwerk vibe.
