While it looks nice, I just don't think the isometric view works for a skatboarding game.

neat for the first 10 seconds when you go "Woah, isometric skateboarding on Nintendo!" and then you actually try to play it. I mean, props to them for trying to put this on here, but no

has chaotic energy and ambition I'm all for it dude

NOT THE BEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

For someone who isn't into Tony Hawks Pro Skater then 720, a game which was released several generations prior is not exactly going to be my gateway into the skateboard genre. I opted for the arcade version via Midway Arcade Origins on the Xbox rather than the NES version which is very stripped back due to hardware limitations.

The arcade version of this seems pretty fun, but the NES version is booty buttcheeks.
