So, the Skate It game for Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS is out. Whether you’re a gamer or not it’s worth trying these skate games out. They are actually pretty rad and fun. Plus, they are a good alternative when you’re hurt or soar from skateboarding and all you can think about still is skateboarding. The next best thing would be to play a skateboarding game, or I guess you could watch a skate video but at the least the game is interactive.

Especially now, with the whole Wii board accessories control that you can use. It reminds me a lot of the old skateboard arcade games. Not sure if it works the same but it definitely looks rad to try. Of course there are no trucks or wheels attached to the board, but at least they sort of got the shape down. As far as kickflips and all that, I’m not really sure how it all pans out.

You can check out the video on how to use the Wii board but it looks more like one of those things that you actually have to try for yourself. On top of that, you have the option to just use the controller but if I had the actual Wii board I would much rather use that. If you are going to get this game you might as well use the Wii board right? I mean you don’t skate with your hand to begin with and If you u use the controller you might as well play one of the hundred other skateboarding video games in existence.

The same game is out on the Nintendo DS which is pretty rad and cool for those long skate trips where you are absolutely board on the road and need to get some shred sledding on. Both of these versions look absolutely amazing and definitely worth a buy. Also if you are up for the wait EA is releasing their holy grail of games in January, the highly anticipated “SKATE 2”.
