1080° Snowboarding

1080° Snowboarding cancelled Giles Goddard

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.

The N64 game was a fairly strong success for Nintendo thanks to a favorable critical reception and sales that crossed two million copies worldwide. However, it actually didn’t test well internally. 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”.

Could 1080° Snowboarding be returning in some fashion? That’s what some fans are hoping following a new European trademark from Nintendo. “1080° Ten Eighty” was nabbed by Nintendo in December, and only just added to the database recently.

Ultimately, a trademark doesn’t guarantee anything. But it could be a sign that Nintendo is thinking about bringing 1080° Snowboarding in some fashion, such as through a re-release.
