EA Games confirms development of a sequel is underway and making an appearance on Wii and DS this time...
Announcing the development of a sequel to the pretty awesome SKATE for Xbox 360 and PlayStation3, EA today confirmed that the sequel, SKATE It, would also be available for the Wii and DS, with the former offering Balance Board functionality.
Without revealing any details beyond a rough release date as later in the year, we're super-pumped to, firstly see a sequel to SKATE and secondly that it puts our beloved Wii Balance Board to good use - just make sure not to slam those ollies too hard.
"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, EA's executive producer of the 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."
