Namco Bandai Games Maintains The Gold With We Ski & Snowboard For Wii

Leading video games publisher and developer 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.
