Whoa, I just had an awesome game idea.

The next step beyond the Wii is a mo-cap controller. I think you could pull it off with 14 sensors, if they were cheap. They'd go on:

hand
elbow
shoulder
hip
knee
heel
toes

And there'd be two on each side, making for 14 in all. And honestly, since people are willing to buy peripherals as evidenced by Guitar Hero, you might even be able to pull it off on the current Wii platform.

Now if we did this, we could make a real dancing game. Forget DDR and that clown dancing bullshit. (but mad respect to the guys who can freestyle at that game and make it look easy) No no, this game would actually teach you to be a badass breakdancer. The game would come with 50 songs like DDR, all taken from various kinds of electronic and hip-hop music. Each song would have a routine that you'd be scored on, but you'd unlock the ability to freestyle each song.

I think it'd be badass.
