You are a bird. And you are a pro skater. That's the pitch behind SkateBIRD, folks: a game which takes the grindathon of a Tony Hawk game and mixes it with the concept of also being a bird.
With a vague release date of 2021, after being pushed back last year, SkateBIRD will be coming to the Nintendo Switch "soon", according to the developer commentary in the new trailer above. The trailer also shows off a new area, the office, which comes with a bunch of Thrusher magazines and stationary to kickflip off of.
You can play the game's demo on Steam, or wishlist it on Switch to get any news as it arrives. Until then, we'll just have to practice our sweet tricks on those tiny finger skateboards that we all had in the '90s.

It’s like Tony Hawk on Quack Cocaine.
Move over Tony Hawk, Tony Parrot is in town.
very visually pleasant and relaxing action; set up and sounds are great. birds falling is somehow confusing.
If the demo for this comes to switch too I'll definitely try it out.
Well it seems like there is some legitimate skate passion for this, but why did they make it centered around a bird?
It's crazy how I have no problem shooting a digital person in the head, but almost can't take seeing the bird falling down.
The demo is both a lot of fun, and shows there's a lot of work to be done on the physics still. I really hope they nail it tho. Rooting for this to be good.
THPS 1+2 must've taken the wind out of Skate Bird's sails a bit. I'd be interested in knowing what differentiates this, other than that you're a bird...
