1080 developer confirms Balance Board game

Long-time 1080 Snowboarding fans take heed -- Giles Goddard is hard at work creating a new WiiWare game. The main programmer for the Nintendo 64 classic is leading development with Vitei (those crazy Theta guys), and he confirmed to Cubed3 that the game will utilize the capabilities of the Balance Board.

Must be another bodacious snowboarding game, then? Well, there's no indication that the unnamed game will feature snowboarding, and there isn't much room for crazy speculation after he states "games you would think would work well with the Balance Board actually don't."

Maybe, maybe not. Not to worry -- the mystery game will be released in Japan as soon as September, so details should be on the way super soon.

VC Monday Madness: 1080 Snowboarding

There is but one single Virtual Console release today, allowing some of you who've been waiting for it over the past few weeks some relief, while the rest of you who were waiting on other titles or perhaps looked forward to more than one game to play are going to be left without satisfaction. You shouldn't be unhappy, though, as this game is one of the best to grace the N64.

This week's Virtual Console game is:
  • 1080° Snowboarding (N64, 1-2 Players, 1000 Wii Points)
And, as always, be sure to stop back later for our video wrap-up of this week's Virtual Console release.

VC Friday: Remember the N64?

You do? Great! And do you also recall how N64 games would occasionally pop up on the Virtual Console? No?

Well, we can't blame you if it slipped your mind. It's been almost three months since PAL gamers last saw an N64 game on the VC (for the record, it was Yoshi's Story), but this week sees the fuzz-tacular console make a return. And, despite our snarky tone, 1080° Snowboarding is actually an ace reminder of the console. This blogger still has fresh memories of shaving milliseconds from his best Time Trial performances with Dion Blaster. Never did pull off a 1080°, mind.

Streets of Rage imitator Riot Zone makes the leap from the Turbografx-16 to complete this week's PAL platter of retro goodness.
  • 1080° Snowboarding -- N64 -- 1000 Wii points
  • Riot Zone -- Turbografx -- 800 Wii points

Watch movies on your Wii!
