Let’s Tap future tapping Game~♪

A mysterious Sega website launches right around the same time of the Nintendo of Japan business media summit. Apparently Let’s Tap is a new game being developed by Prope and it is a Rhythm/Music game that revolves around tapping (go figure). Basically you place the Wiimote on a surface that can give way, like a box, and tap the surface of the box along with the beat. Let’s Tap is being called the first “Wiimote free” game, and judging from the above picture I’m assuming you play it with the balance board also? Hit the jump for a in game screen.

I’m confused…. It actually sounds kinda cheap to me, the wiimote will be on the box, and the idea is to hit the box hard enough to make the wiimote bounce up from the box for it to sense an input.
Also, either that is one hell of a tiny person on the balance board, or that ain’t a balance board but infact just a cushion to prevent the kids knees from hurting. I don’t know though, I don’t even have a balance board (yet).

I can see it now, buy the new Wii tap box (AKA a regular cardboard box with a wii sticker on it) for only 19.99

Eh, I’m all for trying new things. Maybe it’ll be fun, I dunno.

No balance board, you’re just confusing that cushion (cuz the japanese sit on the floor, so it makes it more comfortable.) Repeat: NOT A BALANCE BOARD.
Anyway, I’m actually interested in this, though I wonder how well the “tapping” will work on other surfaces, it’s certainly a pretty cool idea (which only Wario Ware implemented in one mini-game where you tap the wiimote directly). Hopefully it can work in the same way, basically turning this into a kind of “button masher” without any actual buttons to press.
Anyone else reminded of “tapping” (or smashing-with-your-fists) on the NES mat to win in Track & Field?
