Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam

NintendoWiiFanboy reports: Filipino site GameOPS found that pirates are up to their old tricks again, copying GameCube games onto DVD discs and packaging them as Wii releases. Titles like Luigi's Mansion, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition are advertised with new covers that've been rebranded with Wii logos and boxart elements.

Wednesday 4 October 2006 New images of Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam on Wii - the more cartoonish, arcadey speed-run little brother to the main series - have arrived, and you can coast on up to the images tab to check them out. It's almost a companion title to Sega's Sonic and the Secret Rings, with both games going for big speed, big sky and instantly appreciable tilt control - although Downhill Jam's cast have more acrobatic tricks up their fashionably long sleeves than our blue

In between all the Tokyo Game Show news, we've netted a new Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam video that helps explain the game's departure from the main series. As you know, it's all downhill racing and doesn't really focus much on any story elements or wide-open environments - instead, you're only concern is getting to the finish line by any means necessary.

Nintendo just confirmed that the Wii will be playable during their Nintendo Fusion Tour. The cross-country tour, which starts Sept. 27 and stars Hawthorne Heights, will feature multiple Wii consoles hooked-up and ready to play as well as DS games like Elite Beat Agents. Some of the Wii games scheduled to make the tour include Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Wii Sports, Excite Truck, WarioWare: Smooth Moves and Activision's Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam.

Monday 7 August 2006 We've managed to lay our hands on a demonstration of Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam that shows just how the Wii skater will handle with the machine's motion-sensing controller. You can see the remote-tilting action for yourself by clicking the movies tab above. The game - which has more in common with SSX than previous Tony Hawk's outings - features a series of downhill races set in locations spread across the globe and control of the skater is achieved using Wii's wizzy wand

Some people around the magical world of the internets have uncovered Nintendo's site for Wii Wi-Fi. The site, yet to be launched, clarifies some key information about the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for the Wii: * You need a wireless router. No mention of wired connections or the USB connector * Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Here titled as Super Smash Bros Dojo) and Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam are confirmed for Wi-Fi support. * The Friends Code System remains.

First look at this unique Wii racer. The Tony Hawk games aren't what they once were. After years of releasing basically the same game over and over with just a few new features each time, people started to get frustrated. They needed something new, something different and something that would give them a reason to get back on the board.

Hot on the back wheels of today's DS shots, here's a few new screens from Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam for Wii. You may be relieved to know that none of them feature pictures of hip, smiling people waving Wii controllers. The visuals are more in line with the traditional Tony games, unlike the cel-shaded DS installments. What's not so traditional, of course, is the control - you'll be wielding the Wii remote to guide your skater, as with Excite Truck, by holding it sideways in both hands. Jolting
