Two Classic Nintendo 64 Sports Games Race onto Wii U

Might actually pick these up. I love Wave Race 64! It's one of my favourite games, the soundtrack is so rad, too. I never played 1080, so I've always wanted to try it out.

Wave Race 64 AND 1080° Snowboarding?! You lucky guys! I hope Nintendo will release those two gems on Wii U's VC service in the US soon.

Wish they'd bring back Excitebike 64, too.

Wave Race 64, I had bought the Wii VC release (the one without the Kawasaki license) so I'll get that at a discounted price on the Wii U !

Looking forward to trying out Wave Race at 60hz.

How strange to re-include the Kawasaki license...a bit of a strange thing to renew considering there is a version without it. What's stranger is that nearly after 20 years and the European version still doesn't haven't the rumble feature. I've been smashing Waverace out of my Japanese 64 recently and it's an amazing game! 1080 is a good game too. I'd thoroughly recommend both titles to anyone who hasn't played them!

1080° also had a license. For... Hilfiger I believe?? I wonder if that's still in

I can confirm they're both in. Bought them yesterday. Wave Race is just how I remember, but I had a really hard time with 1080, I barely can land my board most of the time. ^^;

That's awesome thanks for confirming ! Yeah 1080 is a HARD game, not easy to get into at all. The Gamecube sequel was much better in that regard, the controls were more arcadey whereas in the N64 one it's more simulationey.

Nintendo released 1080° Snowboarding on Wii U's VC service in the US about a week ago. So I'm really stoked about that (still waiting on Wave Race 64, though). Downloaded it and am having a blast. Forgot how hard it is, though. lol

I really wish they'd add GameCube support to Wii U's VC service so we could get Wave Race: Blue Storm and 1080°: Avalanche. LOVE those games.
