Family Ski and We Ski & Snowboard

 

+/- Click for more/less

Family Ski is the first of two snow sport games by Namco.  This first version of the skiing game called Family Ski, offers the chance to explore balance and control of increased weight bearing to left and right during standing.
The second version of the same game - We Ski & Snowboard includes a snowboarding option and off piste skiing with much less restriction as to where you can ski/snowboard.

Both games have the same controls - The controls can be either - use of WiiMote and Nunchuk or use of Fit Board, WiiMote and Nunchuk.  To use the game effectively within therapy sessions the upper limb controls are best carried out by someone other than the person working on their balance - whilst this may sound complex it is quite easy to achieve as the controls generally only needed to get the skier moving. The snowboarding requires the balance board to be rotated through 90 degrees and can make balance difficult for those needing to concentrate.

The ski-ing elements of both of these games can be played in a sitting posture.
