Are you ready to ski with the Wii?

We Ski, an exhilarating new skiing game for the Nintendo Wii has been launched by Namco Bandai Games America Inc. Experience the snow in the warmth of your homes with We Ski. Up to four players can enjoy the game at one go. The title’s highly responsive and intuitive controls will take you down the slopes like never before. So gather your Wii Balance Board or just grab your Wii Remote and Nunchuk and get ready to ski!

Speaking about We Ski, Todd Thorson, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Namco Bandai Games America Inc. said, “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.” Adding, “NAMCO BANDAI is working to entertain both casual gamers and hardcore enthusiasts with a recreation of a beloved sport and pastime.”

As mentioned earlier, at one given time up to four skiers can test their skills on over a dozen runs from the bunny slopes to the most testing Black Diamonds. Apart from carving through the trails with the motion-based controls, players can even mix in the Wii Balance Board for a whole new level of realism. In addition, players can ski using their own Mii or create a new character with a host of customizable options such as variable face and body types. Thanks to the customization feature, additional skis, poles, goggles, and costumes can be unlocked.

We Ski features an entire mountain to explore. Also, there’s a ski school, freestyle skiing, moguls and slaloms, photography, and a variety of other events to add to the fun. What’s more, players can even ski in the midst in the night while enjoying the gamut of fireworks that color the sky.

But hold on, you would have to wait until Spring 2008 to experience the exciting We Ski on your Wii.
