Do you like Target? I mean really, really like Target? If so, you won’t want to miss the chance to ski down Target Mountain in their special edition of Shaun White Snowboarding for the Wii.
Ubisoft and Target worked together to add this content to copies of Shaun White Snowbarding purchased at the retailer. Target Mountain will feature five different events, two slopes and one chalet, and a lounge area — all plastered with Target logos.
“We’ve actually offered the player something really useful; it’s not just that we built something with branding on it,” said Trent Ward, creative director on the Wii version of the game. Opposable Thumbs said that the content is also coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, though never as DLC at a later date.
More game for the same price would be great, but Target is asking $5 more than other retailers for Shaun White Snowboarding for their exclusive stage. I honestly don’t see gamers going out of their way to get a Target Mountain for five more dollars. If anything, I see gamers seeking out the cheaper version… the one not plastered with branding.
