Ubisoft and Target have announced the Target Special Edition of Shaun White’s Snowboarding. Target is one of Shuan White’s sponsors and it sort of makes sense to team up with them for a special edition of the game. The “Target Edition” will contain quite a few exclusives: A 5th sloop to snowboard down, the Target Mountain, bonus moves, characters, and scenery.
The last big bonus the Target Chalet, “the real-life mountainside home where Shaun and his fellow Target athletes hang out with friends and family at the annual Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado. Now I get to pretend I too am an extreme sports icon by virtually hanging out in the same places they do!
How much does all this exclusivity cost? Only $5 more than the regular version of the game.
Ubisoft is going all out on this game - the company plans to spend $10 million on marketing for the game alone. They’re trying to make this game the new Tony Hawk, though after seeing Nintendo’s VP of Marketing playing the game at E3 on the balance board, I have no interest.
(Thanks, Gamespot.)
