Activision Support NintendoDS Motion Device

Activision have announced support for a forthcoming accelerometer device for the NintendoDS, in the form of two new titles; Tony Hawk’s Motion and Hue Pixel Painter. Electronic Theatre ImageAfter the success of Guitar Hero: On Tour, it comes as no surprise to find the publisher turning to add-ons to increase their share of the NintendoDS’s lucrative causal market.

In Tony Hawk’s Motion players can twist, tilt and turn through numerous skateboarding sessions and for the first time in franchise history, the game brings snowboarding to its line-up adding to the more than twenty diverse mini-challenges available including new ones like Rail Hopper and Slalom and familiar ones like Hawk-Man and High Score.

Once players finish grinding through locales like Tokyo, Dubai, Vermont and the Alps, they can switch gears and dip into the action-oriented puzzler Hue Pixel Painter. Uncovering sources of paint below the ground’s surface, players take Hue through various landscapes bringing colour back to a dreary environment and defending against the Drabs who have set out to leave the world grey and bland.

KEY FEATURES:

Same intuitive gameplay, Two unique experiences: The accelerometer-based control mechanism offers players innovative and original gameplay for two separate games in one package. Players take full control of characters by tilting, twisting and moving the NintendoDS to skate and snowboard in Tony Hawk’s Motion or bring colour to a dull world in Hue Pixel Painter.

Snowboarding introduced to the Tony Hawk franchise: Tony Hawk’s Motion brings anElectronic Theatre Image all-new experience to the franchise by introducing snowboarding for the first time with the help of pro snowboarder Todd Richards.

Bring life and colour to the world: In Hue Pixel Painter, quickly connect paint filled pools to transform still, barren wastelands into living landscapes of lush sounds and vivid colour one element at a time.

Exclusive music by top DJ/Remixer J. Period: Skate and snowboard in Tony Hawk’s Motion to constant beats and tempos mixed by one of the industry’s fastest-rising DJ/Remixers, J. Period.

High replay value and gameplay variety: Players will glide through more than  ten Levels as they bring colour to various landscapes while preventing the vicious Drabs from devouring the colour and essence from the world in Hue Pixel Painter or change gears with Tony Hawk’s Motion to face more than twenty skate and snowboarding challenges across four world locations.
