We Ski - Family Ski

May 6, 2008 11:08 by author

So Nintendo finally officially announced the UK/Europe release date of the next Wii balance board compatible game, Family Ski, for June 13th. Is anyone else confused by this whole We Ski, Family Ski naming thing?

The game was originally released in Japan as Family Ski and then renamed to We Ski for US release (May 13th), with it's own We Ski official site. It's the same game, so why the different titles - go figure.

Nintendo did the same thing with the Famicom and Super Famicom (NES and SNES respectively), as it's believed in advertising circles that Family play has a positive image in Asia (Japan specifically) and negative connotations in the western world.

As you say; Go figure.
