Where Can You Snowboard Target Mountain? Only At Target!!

From the Kotaku Domestic Integrated Marketing Partnership News Department comes word that Ubisoft is... wait, didn't we just do this? Ubisoft's second press blast about co-marketing comes from its association with Target, with the retailer offering an exclusive version of Shaun White's Snowboarding for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii.

What's so exclusive about it? It's not just the Target branding on the box art. The "Target Limited Edition" will offer including an exclusive mountain, cleverly dubbed Target Mountain. If you want to look at Target logos, this is the only game in town. According to the release the Target Limited Edition of Shaun White's Snowboarding will also feature "exclusive jibs, additional scenes and more characters."

I don't know what a jib is, but the fact that I can "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" just sold me on a copy of whatever else.

It's actually kind of interesting to see the direction the developers are taking with Shaun White's Snowboarding. In this video they talk about how they are breaking down the barrier between multiplayer and single player by having the entire mountain be your lobby. If you are in the single player mode anyone can seamlessly join you for a fun day of conquering double blacks and broken legs.

We can look forward to the game just in time for the ski season later this year for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and PC.
