Another game from the recent mini E3 that slipped under my radar is Donkey Kong - Barrel Blast. A game whereby blast around some huge looking tracks, strapped to a pair of bongos. To accelerate you have to "play" the bongos quickly (by moving the Wiimote and Nunchuks in a drumming motion). Turning involves just playing one bongo (left to turn left etc).
The game looks a little crazy and, unfortunately, I have two concerns...
- It will cause more tiredness (or create more exercise) than Wii Sports
- It will break more tvs than Wii Sports
However, I'm all for getting fitter, and I reckon this would be great fun as a party game. Multiplayer bongo playing/ racing has to be the sport of the future!

Well I'd have to say Kudos to the developers for originality, it's a neat idea, but I honestly think a worry of tiredness will keep most gamers away.
Except, as you mentioned, for a party; crazy races with your friends are sooooo much fun, I think we'll see this game doing best in the multiplayer market.
