Namco Bandai Games has announced that We Ski for the Wii will be gliding onto North America shelves in Spring 2008. The title was released earlier in the year in Japan as Family Ski.

Ski using the Wii Balance Board

Up to four players can test their skiing skills on over twelve runs including bunny slopes and Black Diamonds. Players will use either the Wii Balance Board or Wii Remote and Nunchuk as they hit the slopes. The Wii Balance Board will come bundled with Wii Fit which is due to be released in the US on the 19th of May.

You will also be able to ski using your own Mii or create a new character with various customizable options including changeable face and body types. Additional skis, poles, goggles and costumes can also be unlocked to increase your customizable options.

Realistic and enjoyable skiing experience

Players will be able to explore an entire mountain including a ski school, freestyle skiing, moguls and slaloms, photography and various other events. We Ski also features night skiing complete with firework displays.

“We are thrilled to be the first publisher to offer a realistic and enjoyable skiing experience that can also support the new Wii Balance Board,” said Todd Thorson, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. “NAMCO BANDAI is working to entertain both casual gamers and hardcore enthusiasts with a recreation of a beloved sport and pastime.”
