Not perfect due to the lack of cross saving, but definitely a step in the right direction for Nintendo. If I didn't already own it and it's sequel on Sony platforms I'd be all over this. Great game.

Well, not an OlliOlli expert, but played it on PS4 and Vita back then, so...some quick notes:
-Game is on sale until March 19 for $8.49 (in NA at least).
-Unlike Mario vs DK on which you get a code in the receipt for the other version that you can share/gift/sell; cross buy is like other platforms. You buy one version, the other is marked as free so you "buy" the free version to have the other one. So, both units need to share the same NNID of course.
-Wii U version looks like (how I remember) the PS4 version. Clean, colorful. No noticeable problems. Gamepad displays buttons, etc. and a quick reset option.
-Game looks decent on 3DS, though others has said is not 3D. I'm playing on a 2DS anyway. It is literally the same game but at low-res.
Overall, anyone that was aware of this game and hasn't tried it, less than $9 you get 2 versions of a great game.

Any impressions?
It's really hard and the controls are confusing. Basically you use the d-pad or stick to do everything: jump, tricks, grind. But you have to press A as you land to not fall over.
Also the 3DS version isn't in 3D, which is really disappointing because it has some nice parallax layers going on, and also because the foreground kinda blends in with the background sometimes and the 3D effect might have helped with that.
I'm not really feeling it, but I guess I can see how some people would enjoy it.
That's exactly how I'd describe it, actually more like Bit.Trip Runner meets skate, as you use the circle pad to do tricks instead of buttons.
Ah, neat. Thank you. I like the BTR games but they tend to be brutal for my eyes/headaches so I should probably steer clear of this.

That's too bad. The game seems easier on the eyes than the Runner games, but I never had a problem with them other than trying out the original on PC.

Picked it up last night on Wii U, and will grab it on my 3DS later. Played an hour or so, and it's a joy - lovely feel to it, easy to pick up but difficult to master, and it's got a fun, sparse look and presentation.
It's a shame we're only getting OlliOlli now, just as OlliOlli 2 hits other platforms, but I'd hope this will be successful enough to justify a speedy port of 2.

While cross buy is definitely a step in the right direction, they really need to incorporate cross save as well. It's all well and good giving me the 3DS version when buying it on Wii U, but once I've made any sort of progress on Wii U, I'll never touch the 3DS version and vice versa

IIRC, it's available when you press Select. I turned mine on without the TV last night and spent a minute or two trying to see which button switched to Off-TV.

Crashed on me once. Otherwise it's fine, but yeah.... first 3DS crash I've experienced.
They're just trying to give you that Vita experience
