The header says it all. For those who didn't catch this today, EA has officially unveiled Skate It, a new take on its Skate sim, for the Wii and DS, due out later this year. 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.
FlickIt refers to a new control system in which the DS stylus or Wii remote are wafted about to mirror actual skate moves. The big news, though, is that Balance Board support. "We've been able to, once again, capture the true experience of skateboarding in a completely innovative way," says exec producer, Scott Blackwood. Completely innovative as long as you ignore Sega's 1997 arcade title, Top Skater, which used a hydraulic platform to simulate a skateboard.
