The games that started the skateboarding video game crazy are coming back via Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD—a new HD remake which takes players back to select stages from the first two games.

As for when Pro Skater HD will be hitting Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Store, Tony Hawk himself let slip a clue recently on Twitter: The game will be released this June.

It’s pretty crazy to think back to the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. It wasn’t the first skateboarding game to ever exist, but it was unlike any other game that had come before it. Pro Skater had a fresh, new, unique feel to it, and even those who weren’t really into skateboarding fell under its spell.
