1080° Snowboarding resurfaces
After rumours of cancellation, the sequel to 1080° Snowboarding makes a triumphant return, with a new name!

1080° Snowboarding was quite possibly the best snowboarding game of the N64/PlayStation generation, with the team responsible for Wave Race producing a graphically superb and responsive title. So it was great to see a sequel on the GameCube's upcoming releases schedule during E3 2001, and the first screenshots made it look very promising indeed. However, after the show rumours began to circulate that the title was not progressing as well as hoped, and that it might even be cancelled completely. Fortunately, that wasn't the case - instead the game has been delayed to give the developers time to steer it back on track, and now we're beginning to see the results of the efforts.
First and foremost, the game now has a new name, 1080: Avalanche. Whether that means avalanches will play a role in the new title is currently unconfirmed, but the same developers were very keen to push Wave Race to its limit by adding some massive tidal waves, so it seems a fair bet that they'll try to do the same with 1080. We also have first screenshots from the game, which show off the characters and some of the many tricks you'll be able to pull off.
While the title's still quite early (it's not scheduled for release until late next year), there's definitely loads of potential for the game to create the same level of success as it did on the N64. We hope to have more details and screenshots closer to it's release date, so keep your eyes on our main page!
