The snowboarding genre never hit the heights of Tony Hawk’s skateboarding empire, but it wasn’t for lack of trying on the part of this game. A fairly early N64 release, this remained a beloved title for the entirety of the console’s lifespan due to its varied play, realistic (for the time) feel, and undeniable cool factor.

Players can take part in downhill races, maneuvering their chosen boarder down numerous tricky terrains. Those seeking a gnarlier time can partake in the trick-focussed play modes. There are numerous techniques to learn, many of which require genuine dexterity and pattern memorisation to pull off. It all culminates in the titular multi-rotational stunt - pull that off, and you can proudly call yourself a pro.

1080 Snowboarding was ported onto the Wii virtual console, where it proved its staying power by finding a fresh audience. 13 years and another new generation later, now’s the time to bring this classic of a potentially lucrative genre back once again.
