Well, we already know that DK: Jungle Beat is on the way, and that uses the Bongos to control DK. And rumour has it that Mario will star in a sort of 'Eyetoy' game in the future. But what else can Ninty offer us?
The Bongos obviously can offer us alot more 'beat to the music' games, but hopefully they'll use the bongos in innovative new ways, like they're doing with Jungle Beat. I wouldn't mind seeing a figthing game where you batter the bongos to perform combos and stuff :)
And the mic? Well, 'Git on da mic' is coming out soon, Ninty's first kareoke style game. But we can also hope for games in the future where you command and talk to your games. Maybe a 'Rome: Total War' RTS title where you command your troops using the mic. Or maybe more games where the mic doesn't play a major part in the game, but can be used now and again to do certain things.
And what about using the bongos with the mic? Singing and beating at the same time? Who knows :)
Hopefully Ninty can take advantage of these and create some original and crazy titles that don't fail to get the fun-o-meter soaring.
Your thoughts?

only then?
They do it if a gamer beats up his little brother...
Does sound guff though.
Might be surprised. I doubt it though.
If you have a stupid accent it'll obviously balls up too.

Works the same was as the light gun.
*Cue kids stabbing mid-air wih a sword to win Zelda*
Or boxing gloves for a fighting game.
I played an arcade game like that, you had boxing gloves and you had to punch mid-air.
'twas tremendously fun.
The mic looks crap, although might be alright if they use it in Advance Wars.

Pikmin: Jim Bowen edition.

Maybe.. if you really, really twist the words.. Mwhaha.
Can't really think of anything else.
