If you're a snowboarding Wii fan then no doubt you've already pre-ordered your copy of Shaun White Snowboarding which promises to be one the best balance board compatible releases this year. But if the thought of pure powder and half-pipes is a bit tame, you may be interested to know about a forthcoming WiiWare release from Hudson who believe that there's nothing like adding weapons to a game to make it really exciting.

"Snowboard Riot is not your standard snowboarding game," said Sabine Duvall, Vice President of Product Development at Hudson Entertainment. "A snowboarding game is a rush by itself, but when you add weapons, it becomes even more exciting. Add in online play for four people and you have the perfect game for both snowboarding and action-racing fans."

Well that pretty much sums it up then. For more details and screenshots of this balance board compatible game, check out the Snowboard Riot preview at Hudson Entertainment.
