Activision has revealed a new Tony Hawk game for the DS, titled Tony Hawk's Motion. Utilizing some sort of "Motion Pack" that attaches to the DS (how it attaches is an unknown at this point, but it's likely going into the GBA slot), Activision says players will "twist, tilt and turn through various skateboarding sessions." Sounds like a neat idea to us!But, in an odd move and series first, Activision will include snowboarding into the game. Snowboarding in a skateboarding game. We guess those two activities go hand in hand. We wouldn't know. When it comes to defying gravity, we're usually full of fail.

Activision seem to have noticed that piraters don't pirate games with add ons. Take Guitar here on tour. You need the add on and so need to buy the game. DS top seller!! I suspect that many game developers will be looking for ways to tie in an add on, to make the game a must buy.

Hopefully they can fit the motion sensor in the slot-1 cart (a-la the NDSMotion pack).

It was only a matter of time til we got this. Has everyone forgotten about the Japanese release of Slide Adventure? It'll probably be similar looking. I am sure it'll be another year til we get the camera add-on.

Actually, the Slide Controller for that game is similar to an optical mouse. (I have it)
A tilt sensor is much different.

Actuall marktaz, there is a pirated rom of guitar hero where no controller is needed, and it is funner to play.

Snowboarding? In a skateboarding game? That sounds as ridiculous as drums and a microphone in a Guitar Hero game.

Ooh gimmicks! Yippee.... Seriously though, if you "twist, tilt and turn" the DS wouldn't that affect your ability to actually see the screen?

there was someone that had said this rumor about this game coming with an addon prior to E3. she also said this game and Guitar hero were the cause of no slimmer DS released this year.
