Ubisoft hits the slopes with the Balance Board



Slowly but surely, more Balance Board-compatible games are appearing, justifying your purchase of Nintendo's newest peripheral in the process; by our calculations, Ubisoft's Shaun White Snowboarding is the eighth title to make use of the Board (after Wii Fit, Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party, We Ski, Boogie Superstar, Don King Presents: Prizefighter, All Star Cheer Squad, and Skate It).

IGN has the first details and screens on the game, which has the advantage of full Balance Board integration, two- to four-player multiplayer support, and the "full involvement of Shaun White" (apparently he's A Big Deal in the world of snowboarding). It also has the disadvantage (for this blogger, at least) of not being 1080° Snowboarding.

Shaun White Snowboarding is due for release during the coming holiday season, and you can catch some major air more screens and art after the break.
