Electronic Arts are bringing the popular Flickit Controls from Skate to the Nintendo Wii, in doing so they have gone out of their way and added an ‘it’ to the title. And yes, you will be able to use the Wii-Fit Balance Board.
Skate was a bold change in direction for skateboarding video games, saturated by the seemingly stagnating Tony Hawk series.
With an intuitive double analogue stick control system called Flickit, players of Skate were able to truly feel their way through tricks and turns.
Electronic Arts has today announced that the Skate franchise will arrive on the Nintendo Wii – as well as the DS - sometime in 2008.
Dubbed Skate It, this new game will use the Wii remote as a skateboard that reacts to gestures, mirroring the actual flips and moves of the onscreen deck.
From the release; Skate It has Nintendo players riding with the skate pros, owning the best spots in San Vanelona and pulling off the sickest tricks using the popular FlickIt controls. Loaded with all-new gameplay features, Skate
It breaks new ground by introducing innovative support for the Wii Balance board which gives players a fresh way to create their own signature skateboarding style.
"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 unleashes the FlickIt revolution on to the Nintendo platforms, letting gamers use the Wii remote or the Nintendo DS stylus to string together their best tricks for the ultimate skate line. The Wii remote becomes a skateboard and reacts to gestures that mirror actual skate flips and moves. Players can also deepen this experience by planting their feet on the Wii Balance board. Skate It brings the hit Skate franchise to a new level of creative ingenuity and gameplay excellence.
