Our take

Given the nostalgia factor and improved mechanics, this collection is worth picking up if you enjoyed the originals or are curious about classic skateboarding. However, it’s hard to ignore the $49.99 price tag for a remake. If you’re not a die-hard fan, wait for a sale or consider other options.

The collection breathes new life into two beloved titles. The controls feel tight and responsive, and the combo system really captures the essence of arcade skating. Visually, the remastered graphics pop on the Switch 2, though you might notice some frame drops when the action gets hectic. Unfortunately, it doesn't add any new modes, which leaves it feeling a bit like a greatest hits album rather than a full new experience. The online multiplayer is fun, but it can stutter at times, which can be frustrating during competitive runs. Overall, it’s a solid homage that modernizes the originals without overhauling the core experience.

Pros

Fluid controls make trick chaining satisfying
Variety of skate parks offers a mix of challenges
Customizable characters enhance personalization

Cons

Some frame rate drops in busy areas
Lack of new modes can feel limiting
Online multiplayer has occasional connectivity issues

Players perform a range of tricks from ollies to grinds while exploring well-designed skate parks. Completing objectives and chaining combos is key to scoring points and unlocking new gear. The combo mechanic encourages players to string together tricks, pulling off insane scores if executed correctly.

On Switch 2

Performance on the Switch 2 is generally good, with responsive controls that suit both handheld and docked modes well. The load times are swift, making it easy to jump back into a skate session. However, keep an eye on frame rate dips in chaotic scenes, especially if you're playing in a busy lobby.

Who it's for

This is for fans of classic skateboarding games and those nostalgic for the early 2000s. If you prefer depth and variety in your sports titles, this may not fully satisfy your expectations.
