Under Wii / Nintendo
Almost every post on Joystiq about Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage has been met with cries for a new SSX game, but this launch trailer for Ubisoft’s upcoming game actually does a good job of mimicking the EA series’ over-the-top X-TREME thrills. Sure, there’s manufactured virtual pals to laugh at and stereotypical caricatures of foreigners from countries you never bothered to learn about in there, but the warm, nougety center of snowboarding goodness seems warm and inviting enough.
Also, what’s with that logo? Why is Shaun White’s hair the dot on the “i?” If we were him, we’d try to steer as far away from being associated with that other red-headed dude as possible. We’d also be too rich to blog for you people.

Under Xbox 360
The ESRB has recently published a listing for Stoked: Big Air Edition, a supposed new and more wicked version of February’s rippin’ flake game for Xbox 360. To get some more info, we got in touch with Bongfish game director Michael Putz.
As Bongfish looked to the feedback from fans and as its plans for enhancing the game became more and more ambitious, the developer chose to re-release the game in a kind of “director’s cut,” as opposed to just patching the original game. Putz also said that since the original released in February, the retail climate wasn’t as kind as it is, say, during the holidays — hence Big Air Edition’s outing on November 24.
In the new version, Putz says gamers will have access to “all new race challenges, big air/slopestyle events, speedier gameplay, new lighting and a more accommodating learning curve that removes the previous edition’s 66 famepoint barriers, which locked most users out of the exciting part of the game.”
Stoked: Big Air Edition will shred retail powder on November 24 with a MSRP of $39.99. Feel free to warble on over to the official Stoked blog if you wanna sun bake for a few.

Under Wii / Nintendo
Ubisoft just sent us a new trailer for Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage and, as those powder-carving kids would say, it’s totally tubular. It reminds us of a time when snowboarding games were, uh, fun (oh, how we miss you, SSX). If this wasn’t on your radar before this post, we’re sure that’s going to change for a few of you after checking out the action above. Enjoy.
