I love a good snowboarding game and 1080 is one I really enjoy. That and Waverace 64 are racing games that took up a lot of my time on the N64. Keep up the good work enjoyed your video!
Essay incoming - I had a PS1, my friend had an N64. I went over a few days after he got this on release. I was blown away by this game. The character select screen especially. But overall it was an extremely polished game and we had a lot of fun racing. I went out and bought Cool Boarders 2 the next day because I needed a snowboarding game now hoping it would be like 1080. The graphics weren't as polished, but I still think it's a way more fun game. It has more to do and some really great track design to boot. I play 1080 now on my Wii and it's really a chore to play. The levels aren't fun at all and landing will always be a pain. I get the physics were trying to mimic real snow and not just let you cruise down in a straight line (according to the lead dev), but again, it became more of a chore. (and that rubber banding AI, jesus...). I also still play Cool Boarders 2 on my PS Classic and it will always remain one of my favorite games of all time. I got 1080 Avalanche on release hoping it'd be a better, updated 1080, but it came out like the same day as SSX 3, and pretty sure Amped 2 on Xbox. Avalanche got out shadowed by both and for different reasons. It's still a very polished game, with some of the best track design, but the courses are also stupid short - especially when you could ride the entire mountain in SSX3 - and just not much to do compared to the other two titles. That all being said, It's winter and I'm playing a lot of all my old retro snowboarding games. I have been playing Avalanche a lot lately trying to get myself onto the speedrun leaderboards, but it doesn't seem that the mods are checking submissions because I haven't been added for the few courses I submitted. Anyway, great video and I've subscribed.
Thanks homie! I appreciate it!. And yeah. I can see why they made the design choices they did..but for a videogame..its as you said, a chore lol. Seems like you and i have alot of the same complaints on the game. Oh! Update me if you get on those leaderboards! Thanks for watching!🦩🦩🦩
This was really well done! This video had a certain level of polish to it I usually expect from bigger channels. Nice work, can't wait to see what you do next!
I still have a while to go to get there. saw you were on 499.... 1 away from monetization and I couldn't not haha. GL with the channel :) @@TheSaltyFlamingo

The controls are unique with a high skill ceiling. Get gud
Sppeaking of Snowboarding games on the N64..."Snowboardkids" was my jam which is why this game got overlooked

@@50factsabout thanks homie!
My friend had this game and I remember having a hard time just finishing a race, still had fun tho
I played so much of this.
Loved it as a kid, though it was way too hard for my child brain. The tricks were too much for me.
I couldn't agree more!!
Coolboarders was great tbh
