Earlier today, IGN put up a post detailing that EA Black Box's (see what a little knowledge gets you?) Skate game was on its way to the Wii and DS, under the title Skate It. Of course, the page has now since been pulled and the link simply leads to a 404.Would EA bring the franchise to the Wii and DS? It would make sense to tap those markets and get Wii and DS owners into an arguably already casual game. Not to mention that the only skating game available on the Wii isn't too great and the DS could always use another good skateboarding game.
So is this likely to happen? Well, we'll just have to wait and find out. If it's an April Fools' Day joke, IGN is really late to the party.

I still pop Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 into my GBA when I'm feeling particularly nostalgic. Since it was released there hasn't been a handheld skating (or any extreme sport) game better and I would love to see enough effort put into a potential DS version of Skate to change this sad reality. So, in sum, I guess I'm saying that I hope that this is a.) real, and b.) not a rushed, half-baked EA cash-in.

I've been playing the two Tony Hawk games for DS soooooo much lately. Why no love for them? Great soundtrack (Dead Kennedys!), full motion skating videos and all the graphics and controls of the PSX version. There's touchscreen specials and the ability to paint your own board... they're fun games that need more love
