GodisaGeek: "Snowboarding games began to rise to prominence in the late 1990′s, as the sport started to enter the mainstream. Titles such as Cool Boarders and 1080 Snowboarding had enjoyed great success on the previous console generation, but the hardware limitations meant that the speed and adrenaline of a downhill race was never re-created in an entirely pleasing way that captured the adrenaline and occasion of a big racing meet.
In time for the launch of the PlayStation 2, the newly-christened EA Sports BIG studio put together the game SSX (short for Snowboard Super Cross). Being the launch title for a development label that would specialise in extreme sports or arcade versions of traditional ones, snowboarding was a good place to start. The title featured over-the-top jumps, special moves and bright, colourful courses, which made the game more visually exciting than a regular snowboard title may have been. The game was loved by critics, but unfortunately never sold very well. It failed to connect with the audience in a major way, and the game never fulfilled its potential."
A mix of first-party and third-party GameCube games should be available on Nintendo Switch 2's app.
These days, it might be a little too easy to take for granted how accessible multiplayer gaming has become.
SSX TRICKY is one of my favorite multi-player video games of all time . Maybe because i used to spin on my back and head in the early 80s when I was in high school.
Cultured Vultures: We’ve rounded up the most well-aged PS2 games out there, just in case you’ve been meaning to revisit some childhood memories, or even if you’re checking out the PlayStation 2 for the very first time.
id throw haunting ground into the mix. it still looks fantastic.
but i still dont quite understand why we never got a dragon quest 8 remaster for ps4. even the damn 3ds got one.
Silent Hill 3 was straight up sorcery. It has better hair animation than most modern games, which is wild to me.
Looking forward to trying the new version now that it is out today!
I still own Tricky for the Gamecube. I play it on my Wii from time to time. It's my favorite in the series.
