Smelling of powder snow and polygons to be sublimated on a cathode ray screen, 1080° Snowboarding is indeed, despite its westernized look, a 100% Nintendo production. Five extreme sliders take on the board test over eight levels, demonstrating their agility with skidding, tricks and pirouettes to increase the score. A little Proust madeleine out of the freezer for the winter. Following the big trend in board sports in the early 2000s, the title received a nice sequel on GameCube called 1080° Avalanche which focused on speed races.
At the opposite, Harvest Moon 64 swap the snowflakes for those of lily of the valley by offering to remodel Grandpa’s old polygonal farm. Like other agricultural life simulators, Victor Interactive’s title offers you the opportunity to mingle with your neighbors, work in the fields, take care of your livestock and find love. The very first Harvest Moon, released on SNES in 1996 by our Japanese friends, is also playable through the Nintendo Switch Online subscription since June 2023 for those who are curious.
Jet Force Gemini, 1080° Snowboarding And Harvest Moon 64 are already available in the Nintendo Switch Online + Additional Pack subscription.
