The Tony Hawk skating series is a beloved gaming franchise that was close to many people’s hearts. But it seemed that the franchise’s latest releases couldn’t hit the heights of its predecessors, at least until Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2.
A remaster of the first two games in the franchise, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 made waves when it was announced for the Xbox One and PS4. Now, months later Tony Hawk on Nintendo Switch is soon set to release.
The game mixes the nostalgic, fun content of the past with modern graphics and more redefined controls to produce a well-balanced game. You gain points by doing tricks, and the higher your score, the more you can progress through the game.
The title features a who’s who of skating icons including Lizzie Armanto, Steve Caballero, and Rune Glifberg. And it would be a crime to mention the game without bringing up its incredible soundtrack which features artists and bands such as Dead Kennedys, Rage Against the Machine, and A Tribe Called Quest.
Upon the game’s release, people couldn’t get enough of it. 10 days after its release, it was revealed that it already sold 1 million copies. According to Activision, the game’s publisher, it’s the fastest-selling game of the franchise. With the game eventually being released on next-gen consoles as well, we can only imagine the number of copies sold as of today.
Tony Hawk Nintendo Switch Release Date
Finally, the game is coming to the Nintendo Switch and from looking at the trailer, it looks great. Nintendo switch fans won’t have to wait long to play it because the game will be available on June 25. So, we’re counting down the days until we can ride again.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is a fun time, and we can’t wait to check it out again on the Nintendo Switch.
