Shaun White Snowboarding has gone gold and will be released on multiple platforms Nov. 16, according to publisher Ubisoft. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Shaun White’s latest game use the Assassin’s Creed engine to provide the right balance of slick visuals and physics necessary to deliver a next-generation action sports game. Whether or not this game delivers such an experience is another matter. The new Shaun White Wii game, Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip, was developed from the ground up for the Wii, offering support for the Wii Balance Board to provide gamers with a more interactive snowboarding experience.

The rest of the new Shaun White games (DS, PSP, PS2) are pretty straightforward action sports offerings that don’t rely too much on technology or gimmicky peripherals… Shaun White Snowboarding for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Nintendo DS, PSP, and the PlayStation 2 will be available on Nov 16.

It looks like Target’s going to be cashing in a little more on its sponsorship of snowboarding superstar Shaun White. Earlier today, Target and Ubisoft announced that Target stores will be carrying an exclusive edition of Ubisoft’s upcoming sports title, Shaun White Snowboarding when the game is released this Winter.

“Shaun has been riding for Target for nearly seven years, so this exclusive version of Shaun White Snowboarding was a natural fit for our relationship with him,” said Troy Michels, Target Lifestyle Marketing. “It’s great to see the Target brand brought to life alongside Shaun in the game and we’re confident that Target guests and gamers will be eager to see what has come from our collaboration in the Target edition of Shaun White Snowboarding.”
