Tony Hawk Ride controller to work with other games

When Activision first announced that Tony Hawk Ride would feature a bundled skateboard controller, gamers everywhere rolled their eyes and pictured the peripheral collecting dust next to their Rock Band drums.
Well, according to Robomodo’s president, Joshua Tsui, you might want to keep the skateboard dusted off a bit longer:
It’s really important to us that when people buy this package that they understand that, right now we’re concentrating on Tony Hawk Ride, but we want to make sure that people have a good return on their investment so there are many games that are planned for this peripheral. We look at it less as a peripheral, as more of a platform. The obvious ones are snowboarding and surfing and such, but there are a lot of games that can be used with this board, and we’re really excited to start working on those.
Tony Hawk Ride will be released for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii later this year.
Please, oh please Robomodo, simulate the hoverboard found in Back to the Future and let us zoom around New York City. Please?
