EA’s brilliant Skate gets new Wii and DS-specific versions
EA’s Skate, which appeared on the 360 and PS3 late last year, was a fantastically fresh take on the ‘boarding genre, managing to oust Tony Hawk after many years on top for the Birdman. The key to its success was its ‘Flickit’ control scheme, which used the analogue sticks to control your skater’s feet, allowing you to pull off moves in a more realistic (and massively more satisfying) manner, making Hawk’s button-based acrobatics look a bit silly.
Well, EA has announced today that a new take on Skate, now renamed Skate It, will be grinding and kickflipping its way to Nintendo’s two consoles later this year.
And yes, it’ll be balance board compatible. Which, let’s be honest, sounds all kinds of amazing. Potentially, anyway.
