1080 64 was my game back in the day. My roommates and I spent hours upon hours on it.

Yes along with Wave Race, F Zero, Advance Wars and Golden Sun.

1080? Ah, yes, that game I dropped like a hot rock in favor of Twisted Edge; I do remember that one!

Sure. But only after we get a new wave race.

Yes, but only if it takes cues from the original. I'm talking drum n bass and synth guitars. No buttrock early 2000's Avalanche jank.

Seems like the majority of games they publish for the switch are doing at least two million, a 1080 would do nowhere near that imo. Which is a shame as I loved both games and would take a new one in either style.

I think people are right when they say a 1080/pilotwings/Wave Race mash up with the same cast would have the best chance.
Maybe you could separate the kinds of game or you could have tracks which require you to pilotwings off a summit, snowboard down and end up at the bottom of a mountain doing a jet ski race across a lake.

They should make a Switch Sports or port Wii Sports over first imo, a new 1080 would be pretty rad though.

Nothing sells unless you market the game right. Thank goodness Nintendo has an excellent marketing team that could sell a game like 1-2-Switch at $50 millions. Today's Nintendo can definitely sell 1080 millions too.
Neither does Labo and yet they´re pumping them out at an alarming rate.

Not every exclusive game needs to sell boatloads, diversifying the lineup and selling consoles is much more important.

I guess it's happening any day now.

Nintendo needs to take pilotwings, Wave Race, 1080 and Excitebike and make a collection with them base in Wuhu Island with free roaming of the island as you navigate between sections for the next extreme sport you want to play.

My dude!

1080, Pilotwings, Wave Race, Endless Ocean, Excite Bikes/Truck.

Fuck yeah.

I wouldn't even care if they sold it in modules, Wii Sports Club style

Yes, yes, yes. Give me 1080, F-Zero, Wave Race, and Excite Truck. Nintendo used to put out some great extreme sports/racing games. I want them to do that again (and again and again).

I think I would prefer a remaster or the N64 version - sell it as a budget title on the e-store.

They should make a 1080 downhill..
1 mountain, 4 seasons, open world, and a mix of snowboard, longboard with a semi realistic approach. I'd buy that for a dollar.

Nintendo has a lot of dormant franchises that should be revived, but it really seems like they lack the resources to take on these projects, particularly those like 1080 that probably need a western touch.

No, extreme sports such as snowboarding or jet skis went out of fashion, we did not live in 2001.

1080 in 2019 makes as much sense as giving back to Mario a tribal tattoo

I remember the first 1080. loved it. It was so hard to pull a 1080. It was the only trick that required the press of a Z button if I recall.

Yes.

Nintendo has some real gems like this, Wave Race, F-Zero, and Custom Robo. And they're just doing nothing with them. Even a Mii party game would be better than collecting dust.

What I really want is a switch sports resort type game, with snowboarding, jet ski racing and all the Wii sports type games (as well as some other stuff like pool and darts etc) all bundled in

For $60 these concepts aren't big enough on their own any more so I'd need a bundle to buy

I would absolutely love to see an new 1080 or Wave Race (or F-Zero of course). I get that Mario Kart is where the big dollars come from, but the return of one of their other racing franchises is overdue.

Snowboarding's not as appealing to me as a new Wave Race.

I'd much rather that. Tropical setting, and some sweet waves.

Absolutely! Played it a quite a bit actually. Not as much as I played Pilotwings 64 or Wave Race 64.

It also was much better than any of the Cool Boarders. Plus, they need to bring back the Tommy Hilfiger license!

I feel like we'll see a return for the 1080 franchise relatively soon. Same with F-Zero, Wave Race and Pilotwings.

Bump I think the 1080 successor that was reported on last year is going to be a PSVR game, the creator posted a pic with Shu a couple months ago. They could just be friends though, but his small studio has turned to vr games.

It should be called 1080 Stay Home and you take the role of real life snowboarders who stay at home and play 1080 e-sports. That would be so cool, cooler even than cool boarders.

Well, SOMEBODY'S got to make a new fucking arcade snowboarding game.

Clearly EA doesn't give a fuck anymore.

So yeah hell yeah fuck yeah.

I never played it. I assume it's not a realistic simulation.

EDIT: this thread is old I've been had!

Yes absolutely, honestly I don't know why they haven't got a team dedicated to smaller titles such as 1080, WaveRace, Punch Out etc...

Yes. It's the greatest snowboarding game ever.
Agreed! I played the hell out of 1080 on N64. I actually didn't play the GC follow up as much. Same with Wave Race for that matter. The N64 versions were just so damn good. Plus, not as much competition nowadays ha.

Also, I still have my 1080 Snowboarding long sleeve shirt!
