Skate It

Skate It is the latest offering from EA in the “Skate” franchise, and is being made exclusively for Nintendo’s Wii and DS systems.

Skate It allows players to use the popular Flick It controls to pull off some amazing moves and tricks, the DS version uses the stylus to control the game whilst the wii has a choice of controls – either the standard Wiimote which becomes a skateboard and reacts to gestures that mirror actual skate flips and moves, or players can use the new Wii Balance Board (which comes with Wii Fit) to play out their skateboarding fantasies to the fullest.

We knew it would be an exciting challenge to bring the soul and feel of skateboarding to the Wii and Nintendo DS, with fresh new designs and gameplay components built from scratch, we’ve been able to, once again, capture the true experience of skateboarding in a completely innovative way – Scott Blackwood, Executive Producer Skate franchise.

Skate It is due out later this year.
