New Skate Game for Wii and DS

Wii, DS

Activision are a little worried about that new fangled Skate franchise muscling in on Hawk's territory. Problem is, Skate is actually a pretty decent game, and I'm sure EA are doing them no favours in announcing two new titles in the Skate franchise, with Skate It for the Wii and DS.

Since no-one wants to read the PR guff, here's the cool bits:

"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."

Nothing like games that make us look like complete tools when we play. Take a look at the first screenshots for the game as well.
