Prepare to experience a new kind of skateboarding game as Electronic Arts reintroduces last year's Skate title with a new spin off on the Nintendo Wii and DS platforms. Entitled Skate It, the game will make use of the innovative controls from both platforms and integrate it with the intuitive FlickIt control system from the previous title.

While it may not be considered as a direct sequel of the first Skate game, Skate It does provide the same kind of hardcore skateboarding action with its own unique spin integrated into its intuitive control system. Judging from the screenshots we were able to get for the game, both versions definitely capture the essence of its predecessor in all of its high flying, boardsliding glory.

Those of you expecting an authentic Skate sequel shouldn't feel too left out. It has been confirmed that Skate 2 is currently in development for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. There's been no announcement when either title will be released, although EA expects Skate It to be released some time this year.
