SKATE IT! NEW WII SCREENS

We haven’t heard anything from EA’s new skating franchise for some time now but, we have to say, these new screens look very incredible. Let’s hope it has the gameplay to match.

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.

You can see the latest screens of the game in action now on our Wii gamepage for Skate it!

I will admit that the latest videos for this actually look really good. I was skeptical after the first screenshots appeared but it is looking good. Although its looking a bit complicated in the controls department but I'm sure that's just to do with the learning curve. I'm sure once you know them you'll be able to pull off some pretty big combos.

It looks good, but the control may be a bit difficult, it seems like you can use remote and/or balance board.

Good thing the Motion Plus is not available yet, or otherwise a player might have to lay the controller flat like a skate board and then twist and flip it.
