We certainly didnt mind that the Tony Hawk Ride board we played at E3 had a charcoal coloring, and that goes double for our feet. Apparently that sentiment isnt shared by the games director Josh Tsui, who told GamesIndustry.biz that itll be launched in a "more consumer friendly... [and] iPod-like" white color, which in our minds all but guarantees someone out theres gonna mistake this for a new version of the Wii balance board. Tsuis not shy with praise either, calling the board "the most advanced peripheral on the market." Ultimately, the color isnt gonna matter to us, and with a board-compatible sequel rumored to already be in the works, theres plenty of time to re-release the peripheral in all sorts of attractive palettes -- thatd of course be very iPod-like.Saturday, August 8, 2009
