If you came here to check up on Skate 4, sorry, no news on that front. They’re still working on it with no updates since last summer, but we’re not giving up hope. We can’t.

But if you’re in the mood for something very different, OlliOlli World is set to drop on 2/8/22 for Nintendo Switch. The creators of the game had a great chat with NME the other day, talking about how this installment focuses more on accessibility and inclusion than its predecessors. The whimsical 2D graphics with a bit of an early 2000’s Adventure Time vibe might not be the most realistic, but somehow OlliOlli World taps into the essence of skating. If the trailer is any indication, this is going to be a fun one.

And speaking of great video games, DC’s latest episode of NorthUnda with Aleka Lang features some sick graphics – uh, we mean, video editing – in this game-inspired, very 90’s clip. Have a peek.

Tezuka admits that she enjoys filming video parts more enjoyable than participating in contests.

“Competition is kind of stressful for me”, Mami said. But added that she does enjoy seeing everyone at contests.

“Filming part is more fun for me…it doesn’t to be hard, tricky trick, but you can see the style and progress of the skating”, explained Mami.

I want to inspire girl skaters and young people. Do what you love and then don’t be afraid to be yourself.
