1080 Avalanche Review | GameCube Galaxy 

Man I really miss this era of Nintendo because we used to have multiple type of racing games outside of mario kart. Kirby air ride, f-zero, wave race, Diddy kong racing etc.. Racing game has always been one of my favourite type of games. I grew up with 1080 both on N64 and on GameCube. Thanks for the review, 1080 avalanche was super fun to play

The arcade style is really what I've been wanting as a new father, I don't have entire empty evenings to devote to sprawling open worlds anymore. This one was a great add to the collection, nice review.

I really like this game and this is honestly the best review I’ve ever seen for this game. Short and straight to the point with every mode talked about and a final verdict to boot. Great Review, Just subbed.

I miss the days when SSX v 1080 was the killed rivalry in gaming. Nice video

The game that introduced us to the "cauterize" such a fun game, and plenty of personal memories shared by us both! Great review! Much love brother! Keep em coming!🤘🔥🔥

i am a younger collector, so i only have my gamecube for about a year now. this was one of my first games along with super monkey ball and nfs underground. definitely recommend!

This game looks so amazing and fun. I feel like this is one game that isn't talked so much in recent years sadly. I plan to get this due to missing out years ago and I love how it looks and plays. Cool video. ^_^

Man when I tell you this game along with SSX Tricky and Bloody Roar Primal Fury were basically my life between ages 9-14 I mean it. I had everything unlocked in all 3 games and even got to the point where I was timing tricks and endings of runs to certain music cues and songs in the soundtrack. Even had a fanfic of Ricky and Akari. Man I wish I could have recorded some of them lol. Thanks for the trip down memory lane and great review for a game I feel doesnt get talked about enough.

1080 is such a great series! The avalanche mechanic was so revolutionary! I’ve never owned this title but I’ve played it a few times! I never knew there was a NES snowboard option! That’s so cool! Sad that devs have sorts for away from extreme sports games. I miss the days of over the top snowboard and other extreme sports type games. Stellar video man!

Excellent review. You get straight to the point, give context to the game's design, all without tangents or wasting time.

I found your channel a couple of weeks ago in my recommended after searching something to do with back compat wii's, I've watched most of your past vids now, very good work. I hope your channel blows up, you're a very good reviewer.👍

I still have this game and my GameCube, might need to hook it up and play it again, I used to play this throughout my whole childhood and it was my favorite game on the GameCube

It does deserve a solid 8.5/10 .... The GameCube was my childhood and gosh this game ... I spent so many hours just restarting the game and unlocking everything. The SNES, N64 and GameCube era were the most innovative years of Nintendo in my opinion. You could argue it was the Wii but imo again the Wii was too creative limiting the access to engage. There was tons of fun with the Wii don't get me wrong but compared to the SNES, N64 and GameCube. The games quality was just insane. Even with the hardware limitations. But for sure Nintendo is always the most innovative company in the gamin industry by far even right now during the switch. It's just during those era, it was a summit that since then wasn't matched. Maybe it's nostalgia talking but ... It's my beliefs. Edit: oh and the freaking soundtrack of a080 avalanche is literally a goldmine. All the genre is covered with amazing artists. Cauterize and the Seether for sure are still such a joy to listen to. Fine again was my favorite music from how melancholic it was to hear after a whole 5-8 race. I still have a strong sense of "going back home after a hard day" from it. It just sooth the heart. Gosh I miss those careless time.

Fun video to watch. The music gave me early 2000 rock vibes and was fantastic to hear. Also, excellent closing shot. *side note, “Frosty Winter Balls” is a name for the books 😂🤣😂.

I wish the 95% of other RU-vidrs would make reviews like yours. I usually need to watch 3 or more reviews before I make a decision to play a game or not, but not this time. Your review is all I need. Thanks. 👍👍

the NES controller snowboard is class haha. Simple straight to the point structure to the review, excellent work here

My spirit animal is a snowboarding moose. Haha incredible review, your video quality and script writing are professional level. This game looks gorgeous. Kudos to your wife! So cool she helped with the gameplay 🤘yet another title that needs to be on switch!

ahhhhhhh Fine Again, what a song... great review. Really love this game.

Firstly well done to your wife for giving it a go! I never had this one, I was more of an SSX Tricky guy myself, but can see that there are a lot of similar stuff, so will have to try and have a go at it at some point. I did have 1080 on the N64 and enjoyed that a lot.

I remember playing this when it came out and i had a lot of fun. I'm not sure why but it wasn't a game i could replay a lot, but it was definitely good and I made a point to play through it. Its hard when theres a legacy from a previous system, the charm sort of comes from the limits of a system and new games have to try and continue that. But great review man I love seeing these older games

This is a really great game with layers and depth to the controls and gameplay. It seems simple at first. But by the time you get good at it, and you realize you can slow down time by spamming spins and grabs in air, it becomes a whole different game.

Nicely done. I remember being sort of excited for this game even having not played the N64 game. I've not played either of these games, perhaps one day I will.

Great review my friend. Never played this one but we played a lot of the original. And your right pulling off the 1080 then was ridiculously hard. Very well done review. This is one now I’ll have to lookout for to add to my collection

I still remember the songs I would choose for each race, I would end with finger eleven for the Avalanche race. Rob Haywood was go to. I spent a lot of my free time with this game

The red blinking danger sign makes me just as a viewer all tense and hoping that you beat the level haha. Awesome looking pick up and play game I gotta say! 👍

This is reminding me of when I played Amped for hours on my Xbox. Loved the N64 1080, but sounds like I should grab this too at some point.

One of the very very few Nintendo franchises that I've never tried. Looks spectacular, though.

sold sounds amazing

I used to play this a lot with my younger sister back in the day, I'd love a new title in the series or even a remaster, and I still play the soundtrack once in a while, along those of Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Freedom Fighters, old Hitman 2, and the original recordinf of Final Fantasy Vrystal Chronicles. This, MK:DD, Soul Calibur 2, Timesplitters 2 and 3, and many more, including a ton of single player games we also enjoyed together or compared our progress in. I later bought her a Gamecube with all of those games, luckily before the prices went from high to insane, and I got really lucky since I could buy a collection of someone in quick need of cash, that included all of the games I wanted with it, some to complete my own collection, some to replace my own copies with, and some to sell that made me back all my money invested, even while remaining well under the ebay prices back then. 1080 Avalanche is still among my favourite racing games ever, together with the likes of Excite Trucks and NFS Nitro, with the most recent addition to that list being Cruis'n Blast.

Great Video but which one do you prefer ssx on tour with Iron maiden intro and Mario peach and luigi as characters or 1080 avalanche? A versus video will be great!

The only thing I really remember from this game is "Fine Again" by Seether. I don't know why, but I always associate this game with that song.

Fantastic review man! I am ashamed to say I have never played a 1080 game 🤦‍♂️

Oh boy do I miss playing this game lol. Even the n64 original

I recently got the Japanese version(silverstorm), so with the few little extras, is a 9 out of 10 for me . Really solid game and good framerate ! In therms of fun as a sports game, the only one that is equal to this one for me, is Tony Hawk 3 .

I feel like amazing soundtracks and extreme sports games most go hand-in-hand. You can't have one without the other. Interesting that there is a "ticket feature" that counts toward lives. The NES board that has sound effects is so cool, those small details go such a long way in creating an excellent game. I've definitely started to associate any Snowboarding games with you haha. Outracing the avalanche would be a ton of fun. Awesome review buddy, I'll keep my eyes peeled for it in the future.

I had this game long before I picked up SSX and it's probably why I have trouble playing SSX to this day, just so used to 1080 controls and weight. Love the game, even picked up the cauterize soundtrack featured (sadly their only)

I need to play this game more, picked it up in the discount bin back in 2010 but stopped messin with it around 2012 =/

Hi and do you know of any other nice snowboard games that have avalanches in them but for ps2 or 1 please

"No-viss" difficulty.

FYI ALERT. I've unfortunately discovered something bad about this game: It appears that the disc print process used for 1080 avalanche discs utilized a cheaper glue/plastic that is now starting to cloud as the discs age. I take very good care of my games and have had issues with multiple copies of clean 1080 avalanche disks not being able to be read by my gamecubes (x2) or wiis (x2). "Disc Read Error". I have only had this problem with 1080 avalanche. No other game. I was able to work around this by boosting the power of my gamecube laser using the resister knob inside the system letting the gamecube see through the disc murk...but as these discs continue to age I am afraid in 20 more years all 1080 avalanche disks will be unreadable. Very unfortunate as I love this game.

I still wish Nintendo do a remaster of GameCube racing extreme sports with 3in1 edition of Wave Race BS, 1080A and FZero GX! (Appreciate not really extreme sport this one 😂) Be awesome trio I’d easily pay 60+!!

Actually prefer 1080 Avalanche over SSX.

Here I am still crossing my fingers for switch releases. I would buy these games if they got a switch release. SSX TRICKY & 3 Mario party remaster except 9&10 cuz they 🗑 Harry potter games (not the lego games) hell I'll settle for a just a remaster of the quidditch world cup Pokemon Stadium 1&2, collosseun, gale of darkness + the entire pokemon catologue from 2nd gen - 7th gen on the switch. Tony hawk 3&4 along with underground 1&2 Nintendo is dropping the ball with all these titles. Cuz as of now the switch and it's lame indie titles of endless jrpgs is dumb. I wished Nintendo gave a fuck about other franchises besides Zelda remakes every fucking console gen. There is so many great games in their catalog that they refuse to bring back it seems like. I wouldn't own a switch if it wasn't for the remakes of pokemon yellow, Mario party, Mario kart 8, luigis mansion 3, 3d all stars, and animal crossing. I do give them props for bringing advance wars to the switch. I would drop some stacks for the switch if Nintendo would step it up and stop acting like a Disney vault. It's like as if Nintendo doesn't like money besides reselling updates of Zelda every chance they get.

Can't tell you how disappointed I was with this sequel, same with the GameCube Waverace. They felt so much worse than the classic N64 games, which were simple maybe but so classy and perfect. Felt like American games compared to the Japanese originals.

Im so sorry but SSX3 wins

One of the BEST games to ever come out for Nintendo period. It is more realistic than ssx tricky and that is EXACTLY what makes it more fun. It's realism. I snowboard I know. It not only is a fun game it is quite an amazing simulator
