EA has announced Skate It, a new game in the Skate. franchise that is designed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS systems.
“We knew it would be an exciting challenge to bring the soul and feel of skateboarding to the Wii and Nintendo DS,” said Scott Blackwood, Executive Producer - Skate franchise. “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.”
Skate It debuts the FlickIt control system on to the Nintendo platforms, letting gamers use the Wii-mote or the Nintendo DS stylus to string together their best tricks for the ultimate skate line. The Wii-mote becomes a skateboard and reacts to gestures that mirror actual skate flips and moves, as well players can also use the Wii Balance board. Skate It is expected to ship sometime in 2008, but until then, be sure to check out the screens below!
