Well, we only got one game this week and luckily it's a good one. If you're looking to check out all the different fun stuff there is to do on the mountain, hit up the video above. If you need to study up some more before strapping your boots into a board, head past the break for our other usual coverage. But, most importantly, we hope you find the game as fun as we do.

1080° Snowboarding (N64, 1-2 Players, 1000 Wii Points)
Wii Fanboy says: download it!

Personally, I fell in love with 1080° Snowboarding the second I picked up the N64 controller and did my first 180° spin. Getting the timing down for pulling off tricks was a bit of a complication at first, but as time went on, I started to feel more and more at ease with the controls. Once I had them down, the rest of the game opened up and became a wonderful game. It has held its own piece of real estate in my heart ever since.

That concludes our look at this week's Virtual Console games. As always, if you have any tips or rumors regarding Nintendo's Virtual Console service, be sure to let us know and come back next week when we take a look at the latest titles available on the Nintendo Wii.

I hate snowboarding games. And most sports related games besides Mario Strikers Charged and Mario Kart.

I quite liked the SSX games, though I haven't played SSX Blur yet. I'm less interested in tricks. Love the racing part, especially the freedom in taking just about any route possible down the mountain.

How does 1080 compare with the SSX games?

It's not Snowboard Kids, so I don't care.

Off topic, but does anyone want to exchange wii friend codes.

I had fun with this back in the day but, like many N64 games, I can't seem to get over the jaggies enough to play it. Goldeneye, Majora's Mask, Perfect Dark, sure. This, no.

1080 v SSX. Like he says, 1080 is mostly about air and racing, while SSX has a lot of rails and junk and the tricks are alot more complicated and kind of quirky. SSX Blur blows, the controls are horrible, the gamecube versions are better, but I still prefer 1080 over the SSX franchise.
