Family Ski heading to Europe in June
We've already witnessed Europe (and particularly Britain) going absolutely potty for Wii Fit, and it won't be long before the region gets its next Balance Board compatible game.
Luckily for Namco Bandai, it's one of their games. Family Ski (it'll be keeping the Japanese name for its European release, though whether it gets the angry U.S. boxart is still a mystery) will be reaching the pistes of Europe on June 13th, just in time for when the folks there start getting bored of Wii Fit, and disused Balance Boards begin to clog up closets and attics.

We Ski gets the Kirby treatment
The Japanese boxart for We Ski (Family Ski over there) used a simple ski-resort signage theme. It may not have been the most exciting boxart, but it's pretty nice-looking, and kind of serene. Very vacation-y. The American boxart dials the serenity way down and the excitement way up. We expect the totally extreme skiers here to be headed back to the lodge to slam some Chibi Mountain Dew. Except for the guy in the back, who just came along because there was an extra ticket, even though he doesn't really like skiing.The facial expressions remind us of Nintendo of America's frequent edits of Kirby boxarts. Nintendo knows that if we're going to buy a game about a spherical pink baby, he had better be one angry baby. A few examples can be found after the break.
Rumor: We Ski to be cheap enough for non-skiers
Yep, the sport itself might be the preserve of those wealthy enough to blow $800 on a jacket, but it looks like Namco Bandai may have paupers like us in mind when it comes to We Ski. The game just appeared on GameStop sporting a bargain-basement price of $29.99. That's our kind of sport!
Of course, in skiing it's the extras which really hit your wallet, and that seems to hold true in the case of Namco Bandai's game. Throw in a Balance Board and enough Wiimotes and Nunchuks for all the family to get involved, and suddenly We Ski starts to sound about as expensive as skiing again. Oh well.

A trio of We Ski videos
GameSpot has uploaded three new movies from Namco's We Ski, depicting, well ... gameplay. That's what we all want to see, right? And considering that this title will make use of the Wii Fit Balance Board, we're doubly anxious to see how fun it is.
While we sit around and wait for the game's release, we'll just have to settle for game footage. Check past the break for another two videos.
We Ski relaxes at the lodge with some new screens
You, too, may join us at the fireplace. All you need to do is check out the screenshots in our gallery below and you will be whisked away to a fantasy land of splendor. Or, you know, to a ski mountain.

We join Japanese families in skiing this May
Namco Bandai has announced to IGN that the first game in their Family sports series, Family Ski, will be localized for North American release in May under the name We Ski. You see, "We" sounds like "Wii," and "Wii" is the name of the console on which the game will appear. Not to mention the fact that "Wii" plus some sport-related term evokes a certain popular game.
The May release seems perfectly timed to coincide with the release of Wii Fit and the Balance Board, which We Ski also (optionally) uses. It's no surprise to us that this is getting a localized release; due to its Balance Board use, the game has been getting a lot of attention, not the least of which comes from Nintendo themselves. At the GDC Balance Board talk, Nintendo's Takao Sawano talked the game up and even showed a promotional video.
