“I could make a version of the Snowboard Slalom [Wii Fit snowboard mini-game] with improved courses, or maybe 1080° Balance Boarding!.” - Miyamoto

Plus a bit of news that relates to Wii Sports 2…

Iwata: Isn’t that where the Jogging activity, in which you jog with the Wii Remote in your pocket, came from?

Miyamoto: That’s right. I thought it was pretty good fun. As we didn’t know if there was going to be a Wii Sports 2 at the time or not, I gave the director a call and said to him, “This idea’s really good, and since there’s no official word on Wii Sports 2, could we have it for Wii Fit?” (laughs) Then I told the Wii Fit staff “I know it’s a little late in the project, but put this in too”, and the Aerobic Exercises selection finally started to meet our standards.

This is in the Iwata Asks that we linked earlier, but I just wanted to make sure that everyone caught this tidbit.
