NEWS: Tony Hawk Wants His Games on Mobile

Veteran pro skateboarder Tony Hawk has revealed he'd like the Tony Hawk games to carry on through mobile devices.

In an interview with CNBC, Tony Hawk has stated he'd like do a mobile Tony Hawk's game, saying "I've been wanting to do a mobile game for a long time." - the first Pro Skater game was released back in 1999, and was a massive success, spanning many more, but its safe to say the series has declined in popularity over the last few years.

Hawk goes on to say that back then it was just Nintendo and PlayStation the games had to cater for:

"It used to just be Nintendo and PlayStation, and now it's all kind of devices. So you've got to learn to adapt what you know from the technology into those areas."

If a new mobile game starts development, Hawk believes the best way for the game to be a success is to initially release it for free, then start charging customers if they wanted access to content later in the game.
