1080 Snowboarding was amazing, loved that game. Memories...

Trying to think of a witty signature after 'Hacker-gate'...

Probably won't get it, seeing as I already own it on my "takes 5 seconds to set up" N64. Would be nice to play it with a GC pad though.

So Super Smash Bros in February then. I think that must be a given. That's a game that I can't wait for. Should be nice to play alongside Melee and Brawl on my Wii Smilie

I don't know what people hated the GC version. I personally found it better than the N64 version. GC version ftw!

JoshSL 29.12.2007#4

Probably because it was so lacking in content. Less than half the stages were playable in multiplayer. That's simply lame.

I did like it though.

I never really liked it either to be honest(on Gamecube). I'd rather play Wave Race: BS. Funny thing is, my sister is the complete opposite.

I remember that Yie air Kung fu game from when I was little, so last year I bought Kung fu for the NES which was made by Nintendo and its completely crap, what a mistake to make.

Bit worrisome that the Japanese copy of Brawl has seemingly gone gold, barely a month away, and yet we still haven't got a European release date. Smilie
I swear, if we have to wait beyond April, then I'll do some smashing of my own. Smilie

I probably played more 1080 multiplayer than Goldeneye.

Agul 29.12.2007#11

Oh, snap! 1080 Snowboarding!! Those lucky, lucky Japanese gamers. lol I love that game. Unfortunately, it was one of the classic N64 gems I didn't get a chance to purchase. *sigh* I played the crap out of cousin's, though. lol Smilie

And mOojc, I have to agree, as much as I love the original 1080, 1080 Avalanche was freak'n SICK!! Let me just say I DIDN'T miss that one. Smilie Good times, good times.

Chance favors the prepared mind.

Better get it over and done with then. If it gets here before June I'll throw a happiness party. And the happiness party equipment is locked in the attic with a rusty key. I have no intentions of preparing to get them out.

Considering N64 games are usually worldwide concerning their VC releases (every region has the same N64 games, 'mI right?) then everywhere else should get 1080 next month too, and Smash Bros 64 the month after! Smilie

Phantasy Star would be nice. I got Japanese Wii for Xmas (sweeet) but Phantasy Star must be very text-heavy Smilie

1080 was always one of my favourite N64 games and has stood the test of time more than most.

JoshSL 29.12.2007#15

The problem with most N64 games is that I only prefer them to the GC sequels for the nostalgia factor, 1080 is one of the main culprits (and I probably do prefer it. Memories of my youth you see, like the scent of fresh lemons)

I loved the secret characters and peguin snowboard.

mooojc 30.12.2007#17

When I think about it... I want Snowboard Kids 2 on VC. Now that's a snowboarding game I loved. Smilie

Agul 30.12.2007#18

Body Harvest,Pilotwings 64, Shadows of the Empire, Rogue Squadron, Battle for Naboo, Episode I: Racer, Mischief Makers, Beetle Adventure Racing, Turok 1-3 & Rage Wars, Super Smash Bros., Majora's Mask, *slobbers on keyboard* there's just so many great N64 games they could be releasing on the VC. I wish they'd up the release capacity for them (and for all the supported system's games for that matter lol; say about 6 games total a week Smilie ).

...and if by some miracle a deal could be worked out with Rare & Microsoft. Blast Corps, Killer Instinct Gold, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie... *slobbers some more*

I still have it on my N64. Alright game. Aged terribly. Wouldn't pay more than a couple quid for it to play it in this day and age. Certainly would not pay the
