Track List Boasts Songs from Some of the Biggest and Most Influential Artists of All-Time Including Black Sabbath, Public Enemy, The Clash and Wu-Tang Clan

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – Oct 23, 2008 – Black Box, an Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ: ERTS) studio, today revealed the soundtracks that will power the award-winning Skate It and Skate 2. These two skateboarding games bring the sport’s incredible tricks, epic moves and high energy to gamers with all of the fun – and none of the bruises! The 52 featured songs are from some of music’s most influential and celebrated artists including Black Sabbath, Public Enemy, Judas Priest and Wu Tang Clan.

“The soundtracks for Skate It and Skate 2 builds upon last year’s critically acclaimed Skate soundtrack, “ said Chris Parry, Associate Producer. “The songs reflect the culture of skateboarding, with some tracks picked by the pros themselves, and others coming straight out of iconic skate videos. Skateboarding today is an eclectic mix of people and influences and this is true of where we took this year’s soundtracks. Look for some old school soul and funk, a few rock anthems, some good beats and a lot of classic punk!”

Even though Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi thinks the Wii is a “wonderful piece of hardware,” he also believes that “even the title screen of this [Resident Evil 5] couldn’t have been done on PS2 or Wii.” In some ways, this is an insult to the hardware of the Wii, but it’s not exactly a hidden secret that Nintendo’s system is vastly underpowered when compared to the 360 and PS3. Meanwhile, how complicated could the title screen of the game be that it would be impossible to duplicate on the Wii and PS2?

“We really like the Wii, we think it’s a wonderful piece of hardware so we are definitely thinking about ways we can bring the Resident Evil series to the Wii, but it may be a couple of years down the road.” – Juntake Uchi, Resident Evil 5 producer

Resident Evil titles that have been released on Nintendo systems sell very well. Both The Umbrella Chronicles and the re-release of Resident Evil 4 were successful, so I’m sure Capcom knows that the series can thrive on the Wii.

Hardcore gamers, fear not. Even with mass-market titles like Wii Music, Shigeru Miyamoto has no plans of abandoning core titles such as Zelda. Miyamoto explained this week that ” What you can’t forget is that we need to continue to make Zelda games.” Miyamoto went on to say, “The way we operate is that we usually have people moving from one team to another, so giving people the opportunity to move around from a project like a Zelda game to something a little different like WiiMusic has really helped invigorate the staff and helped create a really great internal team. In fact, the lead art designer on WiiMusic is one of the lead art designers of Pikmin. The art design for WiiFit was one of the Zelda designers. But they’ve all gone back to their original teams.”
