Skate City Kickflips Onto Switch In May

I am glad to see this skateboarding game revival. Here is hoping snowboarding is next. No really good snowboarding games on Switch right now.

One of the only games I've played on Apple Arcade. I find the touch screen controls awful, so I may give this a go on Switch with a physical controller to see if it fares any better.

Is it as good as a week at Camp Woodward?🤔😁

@Ryu_Niiyama 1080° Switch, or even 1080° Avalanche in 1080p docked would be very, VERY welcome. Or SSX, but my best memories are of 1080°. Almost being swallowed by an avalanche while the entire mountain seems to crumble around you, and jumping into a helicopter, with that fantastic soundtrack, and a "POING" jump sound because your snowboard is a NES controller for some reason...

I'm very interested in this.
I had some money set aside on the eshop for Republic Commando, but never spent it since it had serious issues. Maybe I'll buy this instead.

@Shambo 1080 Avalanche was so good, but had the misfortune of releasing a few months after SSX3.
SSX was by most measures a better game, but 1080 was different enough that both were worth playing.

I just want THPS on the Switch already.

Side scroller works for olli olli, but seems like a weird choice for a more 3D skate game. Animations look kinda stiff. Skate 4 needs to hurry up! I thought we were getting skater xl?? What happened to that

@Grim Well I think this looks a lot better than the OlliOlli games, those felt more like rhythm games with a skateboarding theme than a true skateboarding game. This actually looks pretty good, especially if they nail the controls. I mean yeah I am a lot more excited about THPS and I was looking forward to Skater XL but this is still promising and something we desperately need.

@JayJ ya fair play. It just bothers me that there is stuff in the background that looks fun to skate, but your trapped on a linear path. I do like all the famous spots though, like Carlsbad gap and blah blah famous skate spots. At least with Ollie Ollie you were just dealing with what was in front of you, and the secret areas and optional paths, and weren’t teased by stuff you could never skate. I also played that game much like I played skate, and less arcade/rhythm like. It was fun to be like, “ok I’m gonna 3 flip the 80 stair then hold a massively long back rail, and then nose grind nollie flip out over the fork lift.’ I really enjoy putting together lines of tricks I think look good, and obviously it was on ridiculous obstacles in Ollie Ollie. Also just coming to grips with the push button to land or stomp tricks was satisfying and reminded me of the learning curve when Skate 1 came out. But ya I agree about more skate games the better. Truly I am a snowboarder, and like others have said I would love a good snowboard game. If I’m being honest, I’ve literally never enjoyed one, ever. 1080 was awesome for its time, but it just doesn’t satisfy and portray the sport like I want it to. Never liked ssx. Like fun for an hour, maybe would rent it, but just too dumb over the top. Shawn white snowboarding was terrible. Infinite air was ok but spinning past 1440’s on every air got kinda old. The animation and trick style was pretty proper though. Never got into steep, and unfortunately never have owned an Xbox so missed out on amped, which a lot of people talk very highly about, especially the second one. I guess I want a snowboard sim that just gets what if feels like to ride pow, or flow through a terrain park. Any type of rail riding in any snowboard game has just felt like trash and never understood rail riding etiquette or style or how tricks kinda ‘should be done’, or at least what it actually feels like. I digress.

@Ryu_Niiyama Never played Snowboarding Kids. Always hoped they'd add it or make a sequel. For the Switch. Not talking about the 2nd one.
