One of last year’s breakout new sports titles, Skate, is now making its way to the Wii and DS in the form of Skate It. Announced by EA this morning, these new versions of the game are being developed from the ground up with the systems’ strengths in mind as well, with the Wii version utilizing the Wii Balance Board and the DS version highlighting the use of the stylus.
“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 arrives sometime later this year. In addition, development is also underway on Skate 2 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. No other details were given.
