'OlliOlli' (ALL) Narrows Down 3DS, Wii U and Xbox One Date - Screens

by Rainier on Feb. 3, 2015 @ 9:28 a.m. PST

OlliOlli is a 2D skateboarding game that mixes addictive one-life gameplay with over 120 tricks and grinds with 100 deviously crafted levels & 250 challenges across four gameplay modes.

OlliOlli rewards the most skilful and riskiest of players, always tempting you to go for that massive 360 Inward Heelflip and ludicrous chain of combos. Leaving you to time your landing to perfection - or risk losing your score! This ain’t your grandpa’s skating game – OlliOlli throws you feet first into high-risk, high-reward skate lines where ‘just one more trick’ can mean the difference between pulling off a gnarly combo and becoming just a smear on the concrete.

The whole game is hand-drawn in pixelly loveliness, which is no mean feat considering the number of tricks, grinds, slams and stages.


Here at Curve, we like to maintain a constant skate-or-die mentality. We all kickflip out of bed, grind downstairs and skitch a ride to the office Marty McFly style. You could say that we're serious about skating. Genuine about grinding. Honest about… heel flips?

So while we polish our Nintendo and Xbox versions of OlliOlli to the highest possible standard, we’ve been keeping it all to ourselves. But we don’t want to leave you guys waiting any longer. That's why we have settled on a mid-March release for all versions of the game. The Nintendo 3DS, Wii U and Xbox One versions will all land on the same week (currently tbc) within days of each other.  

All of the wild features return in full for the new versions, such as all four game modes, including the nails-hard RAD mode and the Daily Grind, which sees players worldwide competing on the same line for the highest score possible.

Roll7’s Simon Bennett commented, “We’re really glad that Xbox and Nintendo players finally have a version of OlliOlli to call their own. We’ve always seen OlliOlli as a game for everyone and with Curve’s versions, now it totally can be.”. He then pulled off a sick-ass kick flip and rode a nose manual off into the sunset.
