Target’s Limited Edition of Ubisoft®’s Shaun White Snowboarding Video
Game Now Available
Snowboarding phenomenon and Target athlete Shaun White has made his way
to Target stores in virtual form, as the exclusive edition of Ubisoft’s
newest action sports title, Shaun White Snowboarding, is
now available.
The special Target edition of the game, available on the Xbox 360® video
game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer
entertainment system and Wii™ home video game system from Nintendo, will
have exclusive extended content and features that consumers won’t be
able to find anywhere else, including the Target Mountain – an entire
mountain environment found only in the Target edition. Gamers will also
be able to take advantage of exclusive jibs and additional scenes.
Additionally, players will be able to cozy up in the game’s virtual
version of 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. Among other exclusive
features, the Target Chalet is the only indoor environment anywhere in
the game.
"We are really excited about the additional content our exclusive
version of Shaun White Snowboarding brings to Target
guests,” said Troy Michels, Target Lifestyle Marketing. "With the help
of Ubisoft and Shaun, we think the Target limited edition of the game
offers an enhanced experience and helps showcase the Target brand and
our partnership with Shaun.”
Shaun adds, "I’m really excited to have the game out in stores! I also
can’t wait for people to check out the Target edition with the extra
mountain and the Target Chalet. Hopefully players will be stoked.”
Shaun White is an Olympic Gold medalist and has 42 professional wins,
including seven Winter X Games gold medals. He was also the first
athlete to win gold medals in Winter and Summer X Games in unique
disciplines. White has collaborated with Ubisoft’s award-winning
development team to create Shaun White Snowboarding. The
game features open-world mountains across the globe, where players are
free to define their own experiences and express themselves through
tricks, unique riding styles and highly customizable avatars. Players
can also hang out with their friends and have fun off the board by
throwing snowballs, hiking to access secret spots and filming their
friends doing tricks.
