Rock N' Roll Climber, an upcoming Vitei-developed WiiWare game making use of the Wii Balance Board, was announced by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata during his Games Developers Conference address today.

In Rock N' Roll Climber players scale virtual rockfaces, shifting their feet on the Balance Board to control the climber's feet, with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck moving hands.

Rock N' Roll Climber is more than a snappy name--when players finally reach the top, they pick up a guitar to wail out a riff. Because everyone needs a reward.

I heard that in this presentation they mentioned that almost as many people own a Wii Balance Board as there are PS3 owners. I bet roughly the same number of people use said devices to actually play games regularly (which is to say, a much smaller number).
