Snowboarding combat game on the way

For WiiWare, from Bomberman dev.

Hudson has unveiled a WiiWare snowboarding game where players use weapons to "blow away the competition".

Dubbed Snowboard Riot, the game will feature weapons ranging from homing bullets to invisibility, and from mines to turbo boosts.

Balance board support is in, although there are mixtures of control options for people without. Plus there's Wi-Fi support for up to four friends.

There's a total of four characters to pick from, which is handy, and Oakley must have thrown in some money to get what appears to be equipment exclusivity.

There's no word on a release date just yet, nor any indication of a date. But, judging by the first screenshots, Snowboard Riot should be worth keeping an eye on.
