Skate series heads to Wii, DS News

EA will be moving its acclaimed Skate series to Wii and DS.

Dubbed Skate It, the games will focus on the quirky controls of the two Nintendo platforms, as well as support the freshly released Wii Balance Board.

Little other information has been released; a full announcement is expected this week following an EA Sports event in Vancouver last week.

Skate was an inaugural attempt by EA to battle the long-standing Tony Hawk series. It did even better than that, and went on to earn considerable critical acclaim for its analogue stick-based trickery.

Head over to our Skate review for a little bit of excitement.
