The Wii Balance Board is best known at this point for getting packed with Wii Fit -- and, therefore, taking up space in millions of Americans' closets right now, right next to the weight sets and Bowflexes. The last US Wii game to support the accessory full-on, Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll, came out 10 months ago. If Marvelous Entertainment has its way, though, you'll be using it soon to experience spine-tingling horror while working on your cardiovascular strength. Maybe.

Ikenie no Yoru, or Night of the Sacrifice, is the name of Marvelous' latest Wii title. It's a horror adventure game set around Tsukuyomi Canyon, a haunted place where it's said the locals once offered human sacrifices to the gods. Five college students are visiting the canyon on vacation, and with that sort of early-'80s horror movie setup, you know something bad's going to happen before long.
