EA details Balance Board trick controls for Skate It Wii

shuandrew | July 03, 2008 | News | Wii

Despite reports suggesting the opposite, new press material from Electronic Arts has confirmed that Skate It for the Nintendo Wii does indeed allow Balance Board trickery, with players stepping on different areas of the accessory to initatiate stunts.

It was thought that Electronic Arts' Skate It for the Nintendo Wii wouldn't feature Wii Balance Board controlled tricks, but new promotional material shows that it does!

EA has split the Balance Board into six different zones, each which perform different tricks, from ollies and nollies to kickflip and heel flips.

Im liking the sound of this as its letting go of the 'go up a ramp and do a million kickflips and then land with ease' style.
