Anybody in the United States of America might of heard Ultimate Board Game Collection seeing as it is available for Nintendo Wii, Sony PSP, and Playstation 2 over there. We Europeans, however, might look at the name of the game and wonder why we haven’t heard about it before. The answer is simple: it wasn’t released in Europe. However, this is about to change as Empire Interactive has signed up with Valcon Games to publish the game all over Europe.

In the US, the game was released for Playstation 2 way back in July 2006, for the PSP in March 2007, and most recently for the Nintendo Wii in October 2007. However, the game is coming to Europe for these three platforms in quarter 1 of 2008.
