NAMCO BANDAI Games Maintains the
Gold with We Ski & Snowboard for Wii
Snowboarding and Enhanced
Gameplay Add New World of Fun to Epic Wintry Wii Experience
NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc.
today announced that We Ski & Snowboard has gone gold for Wii. The sequel to
last year’s top-selling snow sports title not only adds snowboards into the mix
but also features longer runs, enhanced gameplay and a crazy new trick park. We
Ski & Snowboard will shred its way into stores on March 3, 2009.
“The original We Ski set the
standard in downhill games combining intuitive controls, balance board support
and huge environments to create a totally immersive skiing game.“ said Todd
Thorson, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for NAMCO BANDAI Games
America Inc. “Now We Ski & Snowboard takes it to the next level combining both
skiing and snowboarding, even more massive, open architecture environments and
exciting extras like snowparks and even more tricks. This is the complete
interactive, snow resort experience”
In We Ski & Snowboard, breathtaking
environments unfold along the sprawling vistas of beautiful Mt. Angrio, from
snow blanketed plains to eerie crystal caves. Perform over-the-top aerial feats
with rails, fun boxes and a huge half-pipe at the Jamboree Snow Resort to really
put your skills to the test. Also, adding the option of using the Wii Balance
Board ™ accessory provides an even more authentic winter experience. Up to four
players can enjoy the thrill of superior snowboard and ski functionality while
shredding down 3000 vertical meters over two colossal mountains
Further testimony to the realism and
fun of We Ski & Snowboard are the marketing partnerships and programs with the
U.S. Ski Team, U.S. Amateur Snowboard Association and winter sports publication
Powder Magazine. These distinguished institutions will be represented on the
slopes as their logos are viewed adorning the trick park environments and
conveyances of the game. Lending their names and testimonials to the winter
sports phenomenon adds a whole new level of authenticity to an already
impressive title. Pros and amateurs alike will enjoy the slopes of We Ski &
Snowboard.
