Ubisoft has announced that its sequel to last year's multiplatform Shaun White Snowboarding is coming exclusively to Wii. Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal and is planned for a holiday 2009 release.

The move to a single-platform release may seem surprising, but it's made less so when you consider that the Wii version of the first game outsold other versions by nearly a 2:1 margin. We've contacted Ubisoft for comment on the decision and to clarify whether or not this news marks a full-stop for the franchise on other platforms. In the meantime, start waxing those balance boards.

Not surprised by this at all, really. The Wii version last year was vastly superior to the HD console versions with shockingly good balance board controls (I argue it gives a better workout than Wii Fit), a nice cartoony presentation and an inspired soundtrack (Dont fear the reaper!)

Hopefully this year they work out how to do multiplayer with more than one balance board. Nail this and I will but another.
