1080° Snowboarding’s lead designer initially thought the game would be cancelled
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Giles Goddard, the lead designer and programmer on 1080° Snowboarding, originally thought the game would be cancelled. He reflected on the N64 classic in a recent issue of Retro Gamer.

Because of this, Goddard felt Nintendo would simply scrap the project. Had the company ended up moving forward, Goddard believed it would end up becoming “a complete flop”.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been out for a little over a week now, and we want to hear your impressions.
