This really isn’t a huge surprise, since IGN accidentally barfed up the news last month, but Electronic Arts have officially announced that they will be bringing their Skate franchise to the Wii and Nintendo DS. 

Called Skate It, both versions are set to ship in 2008. Much to the delight of everyone, I’m sure, the Wii version of Skate It will support the Wii Balance Board, as well as the expected flicks and twists with the Wii remote. The DS version will use the stylus, likely mirroring the “FlickIt” controls found on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Skate. 

Also tucked in the Skate It press release was the fact that Skate 2 is currently in development. Not exactly a megaton revelation, since the first game trampled all over the sales of Activision’s long-standing king, Tony Hawk. 

Now what exactly is this “it” EA are talking about … ?
