why does san vanelona have to be deserted? running into people is half the fun

sounds cool

Id like to see how this one is gonna work out....

I'm going to give those of you who dont own Wii Fit a little bit of advice. When you first start out on the balance board you find out that your balance is quite poor. Practice loads on the Wii Fit balance games first to improve your real life balance and then try tackling the Tony Hawks game, otherwise you will find yourself messing up loads.

Usage of the Wii fit board in other games sounds interesting, particularly in terms of a skating game. I did not even think of that possibly. Good stuff (provided they manage to pull it off).

Skating with the balance board sounds fun.

it's ideas like this that makes me want to get a Wii... I mean using the balancing board for skate is a brilliant idea... imagine SSX on there as well... If that happens and it works out as i see it in my head i will definitely be getting a Wii with the Wii Fit Balancing Board...

This may just turn out good.

Snowboarding nao plz!!

Might make the Wii Fit board actually worth something

yay!!!

A real game adapted for the balance board? Sweet!

Another cool reason to get a Wii. I figured the balance board would have devs conjuring up some goodies. Skate may be one of them.

hmm i dont think this will be that cool, for me skating in real life beats the "realism" with the wii stuff but to those who dont skateboard, this might be pretty fun

i don't see how it will work with the balance board, it made sense with the analog..

oh well lets just wait and see

A good direction for the Wii

i hope its going to be good

This could be hit or miss, i'd have to try it first.

Oh, I hope it's good, but I think a huge appeal to Skate was the graphics. The Wii will have a problem with that, but I fear for the Balance Board being inaccurate when it comes to unfamiliar third-party developers, but then again I don't know how much EA does or does not know about the Balance Board.

skate is more suited for a analog stick then a Wii balance board.

I hope EA is making play with the balance board optional. Not everyone is going to own one unless Nintendo plans to sell it as a seperate periferal from Wii Fit

There was an arcade skating game by Sega where you stood on a board and that was how you controlled basically everything. It was pretty intuitive and easily the most "fun" skateboarding game i've ever played.

That game is what i'll measure the Wii game to.

lame

I fit worked...Sweet.

thats a large a difficult task for EA, lets see if they can pull it off(i doubt it).

yeah... well it could at least be interesting right? hmm how could you even control pushing on the balance board? unless the nunchuk is used also...

Hello lawsuit!!!

i'm guessing i't'll be almost unplayable with the wii fit

I am really doubting how good this could get.Sure, Wii Fit is nice to some extent (It is much more effective to go and do exercise at a gym,if u wouldnt do that u wouldnt do exercise on Wii anyway),but comeon,Tony Hawk on Wii Fit board.How are you going to do moves and all,the thing is,u cant.With that being said, u would have to use the controller and the board at the same time and that would be stupid,on top of the fact that it would have worse graphics on the Wii.Booooo.

If they have you doing any lifting of feet off the board, it will probably only be one foot at a time. They wouldn't take the chance on people that alraedy exceed or almost do the wieght limit breaking these boards in 2 seconds of play.

I see them making it a combination of flicks of the analog stick, or the Wiimote itself in conjunction with the board.

it might be good...gotta see some footage of this in action tho

Could be interesting, but I'm still somewhat skeptical. Can't wait for more info...

I think there will be a lot of broken wii boards with this game.

If PES (Pro Evolution Soccer) has taught us anything, it's that we should expect great things from Skate It on the Wii.

I think Sega's Top Skater franchise could make a great Wii balance board game, Skate I don't know aboot.

i doubt skate 2 will be out this year but im fine with that I still have skate 1 and waiting longer always makes the game better.

hope we get skate 2 this year...

I really hope the wii version turns out to be a blast but looking at the wii fit board I have my doubts. I'm sure ollie's, flips and grabs will be via the wiimote though which almost defeats the purpose of having a board to play with at all. I think that if the team porting the game are creative and take they're time it could be the best home skating experience ever. If not it'll be another embarrassing port.

DS Rules

This looks interesting.
The wiifit board feels when you are applying more weight on a side or the other...
That's just perfect for a skateboard game.

The ds needs a game like this.

my estimate says this wont work very well

Holy poop on a stick. It didn't even cross my mind that they might have made Skate for Wii...I'd be really curious as to how it works out; if it turns out anything like SSX Blur did, it will be at least worth trying out.

this looks interesting as does my message.

i think if u try and do tricks with the wii board i'd like break in half.

Wow, this is sudden.

how the hell with that work?

Well we know the DS version is gonna be weak sauce and the balance board isn't gonna be anything a person who actually wants to be competetive at all will use ... leaves me to wonder how either of these games will actually do "fun" wise.

Let's hope that both the new Tony Hawk and Skate console releases coming during holiday of next year, rather then this year. I don't want it this year, too soon.

As for the Wii/DS versions of either game, I couldn't care less. Given both companies track records with Wii/DS games, I wouldn't expect anything more then a half-assed gimmicky port. I'll definitely pass.

Holy crap! Skate on the DS?! HELL YEAH! With this, and Skate 2, I'll be set!
