Gondee, hope you don't mind i uploaded these to the shop folder since they're a bit big in size. Feel free to move them someplace else is need be. I resized them enough to where you could still read the words.

"a game like SSX will work best on Nintendo's new console"
^ I'm loving that statement! I hope it's a hint there's more to come!

hmm, the curious thing is that not all of those characters look chibi. And the last one looks like Marisol!? I hope they bring her back! Anyone know if MD is a brand of snowboard?

So it's one mountain with recycled tracks. I hope they have day & night. Cos all they showed was day. Oh and skiing's back. But I would prefer Alpine and Freestyle boards to be honest..

Thank you VERY much for sharing this vix!

They're all saying great stuff about the controls, but honestly everything seems so complicated to me...

And well, I suppose there's gonna be tracks from various games + new ones?

nice one vix!!!!!!!!

...the only bit im not liking the sound of is "some familiar ssx faces will return (with a bit of a make-over)"

Overall that sounds pretty promising, and it's great to hear that the controls are mostly impressive, even this early.

Also, reading "not all of the runs will be original" at least implies that a good number or runs will be original.

Good news!

Good find, vix - thanks!

I got the mag in the mail today and didn't look at it until a little while ago so i immediately scanned the pages in.

The make over comment makes me think it equates to the chibi-ness.

It seems like there won't be any new tracks, at least that's what I got from it, but I didn't exactly read the whole thing yet.

Let me see if I've got this straight, the instructions were pretty complex:

Steering on the ground - The Nunchuk

• Turn - Tilt the nunchuk to make slight and regular turns. Tilt the nunchuk + push a direction on the analog stick to make a sharp turn.
• Brake - move the nunchuk upward a serious amount
• Boost - C button on the Wii mote

Tricks

• Prewind - Move the Nunchuk down
• Jump - Flick the nunchuk up to jump, going too far will make you break
• Spin in the air - Move wiimote left to right
• Flip in the air - Move the wiimote up and down
• Monster/Uber Tricks A button plus a certain direction, they say the more complex of a "shape" you draw in the air, the more crazy your trick will be.
• Grabs Z button (how do you do more than one grab?)
• Tweak Grabs Pitch the Wiimote a certain direction
• Recover from a crash - "Drumbeat the nunchuk and wiimote" - ie. alternate moving them up and down in opposite directions.

Other stuff

• There will be old tracks on the mountain. "We wanted to take the best of the SSX characters and tracks and remix them." I wonder if that means there will be SSX and SSX Tricky tracks in there? (That would rule!)
• There will be both tricks and racing (Alleluia! They listened to us!)
• Skiing is back, same controls as snowboarding
• EGM seems to think that it will NOT be online (no surprise, I don't think any Wii games are online yet.) But there will be multiplayer
• Some familiar SSX faces will be back. EGM implies that Mario/Peach,etc. will be there too. (No surprise there.)
• Pictures on the spread look like Mac/Elise are back at least (impossible to say since all shots are from behind.

Sounds good so far. I think this might open up SSX to the masses and make it more easy for people to compete rather than have to master pressing half a dozen buttons just to do a trick.

So this means there will be no next-gen for PS3?

About the article, thanks for sharing it vix. The characters look allright, but I really dislike that Happiness is back in exactly the same shape.

I think that just means last as in the previous installment, not last as in end.

The article is nice, the boarders seen here are: Mac and Allegra.

Check out my high score, man.

omg. that one at the very bottom really DOES look like marisol. the hair, the outfit... but i'm still not getting my hopes up...

ooh, I hope it's Marisol! My second guess would be a long haired Allegra. The "in the air" one could be a Chibi Elise?

Haha, I would say that's Allegra. Look at the color of her shirt, bright orange, looks like she's sporting a hat, and her pants have suspenders.

Sorry bro.

hmm. Stupid EA marketing team. I bet it was them who insisted on the chibi.


hmm, not so chibi Allegrasol?

im reading it rite now and i was kinda surprised a few things.

thought it was interesting that they said they had alot of "fans" playing the game. WTF? wheres my copy. lol
Seriously though they have the perfect testers rite here at mc.com. it makes no sense to me why they wouldnt at least ship a beta copy to gondee or something.

also they said "pitching the nunchuck and moving its analog stick made the sterring more precide than in older SSX games." Really? Really?...i dont see how they get it more precise than older ssx games with the ps2 controller. i hope that doesnt translate to just being rdiculously easy now, there should be some challenge to it. it sounds amlost to good to be true in a way.


alrite gotta read the second half.......
