Drats, no Wii Project

CVG recently conducted and interview with Alex Ness, Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam DS and Wii producer. The interview covered a variety of DHJ queries, before encountering a topic of great interest to Tony Hawk fans.

‘Why did you decide to take Tony Hawks in a new direction on Wii and DS?

Ness: Activision conducted research on the franchise and found that downhill racing seemed to be very popular. But it was probably too different of a direction to just add in to the main TH titles.

So they decided to make it kind of an offshoot. We were really into all of the snowboarding games and thought it would be awesome to do something like that but with skating, using the tried-and-true Tony Hawk mechanics.‘
