Today, Activision and developer Creat Studios have announced their newest Nintendo DS title, Tony Hawk’s Motion and Hue Pixel Painter. The two different games will be provided in one tiny package that provides a fairly unique experience for the consumer.

Tony Hawk’s Motion is a classic Tony Hawk skateboarding game that utilizes the DS Motion Pack to let players “twist, tilt and turn” through several skateboarding challenges. For the first time in the series, players will also be able to snowboard. Over 20 snowboarding challenges will be available, including some you may remember like Hawk-Man and High Score.

Hue Pixel Painter is a puzzle game that puts players in the shoes of a character named Hue in his epic journey to change landscapes from lackluster to colorful. The game is basically Unreal Engine 3’s greatest nightmare as you make Hue drag vivid color all over the place.

Tony Hawk’s Motion and Hue Pixel Painter will be available this November for $39.99. Hit the break for the full press release and check out the gallery below for some screenshots of the game.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Delivering an innovative way to experience handheld gaming, Tony Hawk’s Motion and Hue Pixel Painter utilizes the Motion Pack to feature accelerometer technology on the Nintendo DS.

In Tony Hawk’s Motion players can twist, tilt and turn through numerous skateboarding sessions and for the first time in franchise history, the game brings snowboarding to its line-up adding to the more than 20 diverse mini-challenges available including new ones like Rail Hopper and Slalom and familiar ones like Hawk-Man and High Score.

Once players finish grinding through locales like Tokyo, Dubai, Vermont and the Alps, they can switch gears and dip into the action-oriented puzzler Hue Pixel Painter.  Uncovering sources of paint below the ground’s surface, players take Hue through various landscapes bringing color back to a dreary environment and defending against the Drabs who have set out to leave the world gray and bland.  

KEY FEATURES:
