from the announcement: SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today Ubisoft
announces the development of Shaun White Snowboarding, a title destined to break
all former action sports video game notions and redefine the action sports
genre. The game will appear on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system
from Microsoft, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, Windows-based
PC, and the Wii™ home video game system from Nintendo, and is scheduled for
release in Holiday 2008.

Powered by the award-winning Assassin's Creed™ engine for Xbox 360 and the
PLAYSTATION 3 system, Shaun White Snowboarding truly captures the action sports
lifestyle. Shaun White Snowboarding is being developed from the ground up for
the Wii system, taking full advantage of the Wii Balance Board™ accessory and
featuring its own unique storyline and adventure with Shaun White.

“Shaun White Snowboarding will turn all of the traditional ideas and experiences
of past action sports titles upside down,” said Tony Key, senior vice president
of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. “The combination of Ubisoft’s innovation
approach and the influence of Shaun’s lifestyle and perspective make this gaming
experience like no other.”

Developed in close collaboration with Shaun White, Olympic Gold Medalist and
eight-time X Games Gold Medalist, Shaun White Snowboarding allows players to
enter a world of total freedom, where they can create their own experience and
choose how, where, and with whom they want to ride.
