Skateboard titles OlliOlli and OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood are heading to Nintendo Switch as OlliOlli: Switch Stance this February.

Both OlliOlli games will be arriving on February 14 via the bundle, according to publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment and developer Roll7. OlliOlli: Switch Stance will bring the addictive gameplay of the pixel-tastic first skateboarding game to the Switch with over 120 tricks and grinds to perform across 50 different levels.

There are over 250 challenges, Spots Mode, and Daily Grind options as well. If you're skilled enough to complete all the Challenges, you'll unlock the new RAD Mode, too! When you've done all that, you'll be well on your way to conquering the leaderboards.

As for OlliOlii 2: Welcome to Olliwood, the Switch version will feature new Ramps and Epic Hills as well as an expanded combo system. You'll be pulling off Manuals, Reverts, Revert Manuals, and Grind Switching like an old skater pro. The "Tricktionary" also gets even longer with new specials like 540 Shove-Its, Anti-Casper Flips, and Darkslides.

Top that off with five more worlds, 50 levels, and 250 Challenges to complete as well as the Daily Grind, Spots Mode, and RAD Mode from the first game, and you've got a veritable smorgasbord of skating goodness. It'll probably take quite a while to get through all that content, at the very least.

There's a lot to take in here for skating enthusiasts, and it certainly seems like the Switch is a great place to bring OlliOlli next. So if you're over the world of Tony Hawk and things like that, this could indeed be a cure for the common skating title. Are you interested in giving the games a try now that they've come to Switch as a bundle? Let us know in the comments below!
