If you're big into your skating games and couldn't get a chance to play EA's SKATE since it was only released on PS3 and Xbox 360, you're in luck!

EA has announced that Skate It, a new game based off the same popular innovative controls of the original. But this time it is for Wii and DS only. That's not all, it can also use the Wii's new balance board to keep with the smart and new control systems players loved in the original.


Scott Blackwood, Executive Producer of the Skate franchise commented on the new title.

We knew it would be an exciting challenge to bring the soul and feel of skateboarding to the Wii and Nintendo DS. 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

Using the FlickIt revolution, Skate It lets gamers use the Wii-mote or the DS stylus to string together their best tricks and combos. The Wii-mote will actually become a skateboard and mirror actual skate flips and moves from your reactions and movements.

Skate It has no rating yet but it is said to be coming this year. We will keep you updated on anything we hear. I'm actually interested in checking out this balance board interaction, so I'll be keeping a watchful eye out for gameplay movies.
