SPOnG’s been getting more than mildly excited about EA’s forthcoming SSX Blur for Wii which is due for release this coming spring.

SSX Blur is looking like the closest we are going to get to doing some snowboarding this year, what with the evil taxman decreeing that we aren’t allowed to keep spending all our money on holidays to the Alps and expensive new boards and stuff. Sniff.

So, we’re pinning our boarding hopes on EA’s latest Wii effort. And, while graphics whores continue to put down Wii screenshots for not holding up in comparison to PS3/360 shininess, surely the point is the – ahem – gameplay no?

Whatever, a motion-controlled snowboarding game is bound to be fun. We should hopefully get a hands-on sometime in February when we’ll no doubt be opining more on the matter.
