We Ski gets gold

Nintendo is set to launch the Wii Balance Board as a bundle with Wii Fit on May 19, but the first game compatible with the peripheral will actually arrive in stores a bit earlier. Namco Bandai Games America announced today that We Ski for the Nintendo Wii has gone gold and is set for retail release on May 13.

More sedentary gamers will have a choice in controls, given that We Ski supports the Wii Remote and Nunchuk as well as the board. It also includes freestyle, slalom, mogul, and downhill-racing game modes, more than a dozen different tracks, customizable characters, and support for gamers' own Mii avatars.

We Ski is rated E for Everyone and will retail for $29.99. For more on the game, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.
