OlliOlli, the innovative skateboarding title developed by Roll7 and published by Curve Digital, is officially grinding its way onto Nintendo platforms for the first time.
After initial success on other systems, the game’s release on both Nintendo 3DS and Wii U is scheduled for mid-March, as previously confirmed by Curve Digital in December.
This launch brings the award-winning indie hit to an entirely new audience via the Nintendo eShop, expanding its footprint in the growing portfolio of skateboarding games available to Nintendo fans. OlliOlli made waves in the indie gaming scene upon its original launch for PlayStation platforms in 2014, earning praise for its responsive controls, challenging level design, and addictive score-chasing mechanics.
Developed by London-based studio Roll7, the game quickly became recognized for its skill-based gameplay, offering everything from beginner-friendly tutorials to the notoriously difficult RAD Mode—now making its way intact to Nintendo handheld and home consoles.
Every mode from the original release, including career, spots, and daily grind, will be available, ensuring fans get the complete OlliOlli experience. Simon Bennett, studio co-director at Roll7, expressed his excitement about the expansion to Nintendo hardware.
In a statement, Bennett highlighted the studio’s longstanding belief that OlliOlli was designed to be a game open to all players.
He observed that, thanks to the collaboration with Curve Digital, this vision is coming to fruition by making the game accessible to millions of Nintendo 3DS and Wii U owners via the eShop for the first time. Since its debut, OlliOlli has garnered widespread acclaim, including receiving the BAFTA Video Game Award for Best Sports Game in 2015.
Its unique blend of fast-paced action and nuanced trick mechanics set it apart in a genre often dominated by larger franchises.
The upcoming release for Nintendo platforms reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering diverse, critically acclaimed indie content through the Nintendo eShop, supporting a vibrant and ever-growing indie community. OlliOlli’s launch on Nintendo 3DS and Wii U not only introduces a new generation of players to one of the last decade’s most celebrated indie titles but also showcases the enduring appeal of skateboarding games on handheld and console formats.
Fans and newcomers alike can look forward to stylish, challenging, and rewarding gameplay when the title becomes available in mid-March on both Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShop.
