A Unique Twist on Snowboarding Using Weapons!

REDWOOD CITY, CA - November 11, 2008 - Hudson Entertainment, the North
American publishing arm of HUDSON SOFT, today announced that Snowboard
Riot, a distinctive
snowboarding game unlike anything players have ever encountered will be
coming to WiiWare. Snowboarding will reach new heights when players
take to the slopes with action-packed racing utilizing weapons such as
homing bullets and invisibility!

"Snowboard Riot is not your standard snowboarding game," said Sabine
Duvall, Vice President of Product Development at Hudson Entertainment.
"A snowboarding game is a rush by itself, but when you add weapons, it
becomes even more exciting. Add in online play for four people and you
have the perfect game for both snowboarding and action-racing fans"

While snowboarding is already an exhilarating activity, nothing can
prepare players for Snowboard Riot. Battle with up to 4 boarders using
the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to race online and blow away the
competition. Weapons such as mines and turbo are available to give
players an edge fighting it out on the mountain.

Gamers have several control options, as they can use the Wii Remote and
Nunchuk or the Wii Balance Board to carve their way to victory. Just
like a real snowboard, players can lean left and right on the Wii
Balance Board, providing a realistic snowboard experience. Boarders
can also choose from four characters to bomb the slopes, and can
customize their look with Oakley apparel and goggles to improve their
performance.

Snowboard Riot is rated E for Everyone by the Entertainment Software
Rating Board (ESRB).
