The release of SSX Blur has totally snuck up out of nowhere. This game is out on Feb 27th, 2007 in the US, which is two weeks from today! Did anybody else know this game was coming out so soon? Anyway, I'm way excited. IGN has a fairly recent video of somebody actually playing the game, and it looks really fun.

The controls are highly motion based. Tilting the nunchuk stears you, and you jump by flicking it up. Once in the air, the nunchuk controls your grabs, while the remote controls your spins. To do uber tricks you draw shapes in the air. This sounds hella complicated, but the guy in the video (who's probably from EA) seems to pull it all off fairly easily.
So, is anybody else super excited about this game?
Edit: This game is out in ONE week. I'm retarded.
Thanks to PantherLotus for crafting a much better OP.
***THE OFFICIAL SSX BLUR THREAD OF PERFECT POWDER***
This game is going to rule. It's basically SSX3 + SSX On Tour + New graphics, effects, characters, music, and levels...and of course an all new (and awesome!) control scheme. Think of how Tricky used some of the original's levels and you get the idea. All the usual characters are back, and with all new tricks, too.
Oh yeah - On top of all the new additions, it's exclusive. You can only get the best snowboarding game on the Wii.

Conquer the mountain in style with EA Montreal's Wii exclusive SSX Blur. Players select from 12 riders, then spin, jump, flip and shred their way through 12 beautiful tracks featuring gigantic dinosaur statues, ramps, half-pipes and insane drops. In a unique twist, they steer their characters using the nunchuk, twisting it left to right to navigate around hairpin turns. To perform tricks, they jerk the Wii remote in various directions, and once they fill the Groove Meter, they draw shapes using both controllers to bust out superhuman maneuvers, all the while the music changes depending on how well they perform. No online play hurts, and the two-player split screen mode offers limited enjoyment, but overall, EA successfully "blurs" the line between realism and fantasy, creating a great video game for all ages.
