For those of us that can't wakeboard during the winter and have a wii. You can get Wii Sports Resort and wakeboard on the Wii. Sadly, I don't have one Sad

but for those who do

Wakeboard on the Wii! Wish I had one right about now. I'd definitely go grab this.

I have it. I recommend snowboarding.

I figure if you live somewhere that you can't wakeboard year round, snowboarding must be nearby. That's why I love living here. 5 hours to Orlando, 5 hours to western NC.

Personally, this time of year, I'm still wakeboarding but I'm dying to get on the slopes, even if its just in NC. I'm hoping to make it to Stowe (VT) in February. Keeping my fingers crossed that one comes together. Cool

BTW: Shaun Murray Wakeboarding Unleashed for PS2. FTW.

That WII game is a real fail, but the Wakeboarding Unleashed is pretty funny, although the graphics suck! But i think thats fun anyway.

i am playing Shaun white ! Snowboarding game by ubisoft ftw

looks like they have a new version out "big air edition" STOKED. better physics, faster riding, etc.

looks pretty sweet!
i was disappointed in shaun whites after waited so long. i remember the murray game too. had it on xbox. pretty cheesy, i remmeber the letting go of the rope, and then you could ride around and then jedi the rope back in your hands Laughing

it's funny how you need to steer with the "handle," which never works in real wakeboarding Laughing

the wii version should have been designed to work with the ballance pad. and spins could be directed by passing the controller around your body. It's too bad game developer's are more concerned with sitting on there ass's rather than improving the realism in the game.

First person shooters have come so far that i swear next year i'll be shooting a real gun at a hologram. Meanwhile we're still itching for a good realistic Wake game that the developper actually did their homework on the sport.

I thought STOKED was supposed to be released last year, i remember sitting in the dorms on youtube for days and saw a preview for it around the same time as Shaun White. oh well.
