Tony Hawk Ride goes to Wii, PS3, 360 ... with a skateboard peripheral

As expected, the new Tony Hawk game was revealed on GameTrailers TV with Geoff Keighley. Tony Hawk Ride will take advantage of a brand new skateboard peripheral (pictured above) and, according to the program, will be available on all current generation home consoles: Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Skateboarder Tony Hawk said he has wanted to create a peripheral-based game for quite some time, but technology only recently allowed Ride to be possible.

Multiple difficulty modes will allow players with even the most inadequate of balancing capabilities to play.

Update: You can see GameTrailers footage after the cut.
