Tal como diz na noticia ultimamente o género de jogos de snowboard ainda não teve grande atenção por parte das consolas mais recentes, mas pelos vistos a Ubisoft vai tentar mudar isso, pessoalmente sempre gostei de jogos de snowboard apesar de não haver muitos jogos que em termos de jogabilidade/diversão valham a pena, se não me falha a memória um dos últimos que realmente gostei era um da Playstation 2, mas não me recordo do nome, grande notícia e para acompanhar a outra já lançada hoje (Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party) é que este jogo também irá ser compatível com a balance board, é muito interessante ver que a aposta da Nintendo em novos acessórios está realmente a despertar o interesse nas produtoras de jogos. As imagens são da versão Xbox 360 e PS3, esperemos que a Wii não fique muito atrás daquilo mostrado nestas imagens.

The snowboarding genre hasn’t really set the next-generation of console alight in the same way as it was revered in past years, but Ubisoft will hope to change that soon (and give Electronic Arts’ SSX franchise some real competition), with the announcement of Shaun White Snowboarding. And, yep, it’s compatible with the Wii Balance Board, too.
Ubisoft explains that Shaun White (the Olympic Gold Medallist and eight-time X Games Gold Medallist, no less) has had a lot of input into the upcoming extreme sports title, in which the developer promises that players will have the freedom to choose how, where, and with whom they want to ride.
“Shaun White Snowboarding will turn all of the traditional ideas and experiences of past action sports titles upside down,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. “The combination of Ubisoft’s innovation approach and the influence of Shaun’s lifestyle and perspective make this gaming experience like no other.”
Key features of Shaun White Snowboarding for the Wii system:
- Exclusive storyline: Everybody loves a road trip! You and your crew travel the world to participate in a variety of the largest and craziest events to become a world-renowned athlete. Life on the road to success wouldn’t be the same without the support of your friends, who will always be there to help you out and keep your head on your shoulders. Stand together with your friends - both in the game and in the living room - and you will be able to conquer the madness that fame brings.
- Go on a globetrotting adventure with Shaun White as your partner – Ubisoft worked in close contact with Shaun White in order to infuse the experience with the most authentic elements of his riding style, personality and sense of humor. Shaun will act as a good-natured friend and mentor to the player, hooking him up with the right friends to conquer challenges together, introduce him to new locales, or simply be around to share in a laugh.
- Wii Balance Board Integration – Get yourself into the game like never before by using the Wii Board to control your rider. Control your carves, jumps and grinds with the intuitiveness and fun of having a snowboard in your own living room.
- Everyone plays, no one waits – Engage in a seamlessly integrated multiplayer experience for two to four players, where every player is active in the game at all times.
- Get together your crew – In the world of snowboarding, it pays to have friends on your side. Your crew of friends will always be there to help you by offering you unique abilities to improve both your riding and keeping you grounded with friendly pranks; filming all the antics along the way.
Shaun White Snowboarding is scheduled for a release this holiday season. The above screens, by the way, are from the Microsoft Xbox 360/Sony PlayStation 3 version of the game.
- Fame and Respect - Getting your name out there by doing well as a pro snowboarder is bound to get you some recognition. As your fame grows, so too does your ability to take on bigger and bigger challenges, from new mountains to more prestigious events and competitions. Fame, however, isn’t everything. You’ll need to gain your friends’ respect by riding with style in order to gain their support; they will help you find hidden areas, share their favorite music tracks and keep you laughing.
