a 1080 video? nice change up! the sequel is my fav of the 2. Nothing like speeding down a mountain listening to Seether in the early 2000s :)

[@-_._._-]

Loved 1080 as a kid in the 90s.

[@spyfoxguy]

Thanks for always putting out such high-effort videos. Great depth here on the game, its developers, and even the console itself.

[@CayenneGaramonde]

Very interesting analysis of a game I never got to play back in the day. The physics and animations (especially the windy jackets) look like they still hold up. Subbed.

[@seanmcbay]

So many wonderful racing games on N64.

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

Very impressive technical feats for an N64 game, there really was nothing quite like it.

[@Scharfster]

the controls keep me from coming back to it lol

[@fireaza]

"PUSH IT IN!"

[@wyrmlingable]

I wasn't even into these games, and this breakdown is still fascinating. Always excellent work.

[@unison_moody]

Man 1080° is such great game. The soundtrack is such a banger!

[@XxguaxinimxX.]

Oh! I know this game from that Jungle/DnB playlist! 😄

[@zilinhuang8949]

What I thought it was a GameCube game it looks so good

[@ALDONueve]

I feel like i wanna give it a try now that i can.

[@RicardoHernandez-ii7sg]

Just amazing video i loved nwn/

[@dagoodboy6424]

Golden forest 1080. theme is awsome

[@RH-to8dh]

I used to be so good at this game and snowboard kids back when I was a kid. I tried them again a few months ago and I could not get the hang of the controls.

[@elsiebartlett6808]

Never played it as a kid, but picked it up on Wii U VC for $10-worth every penny

[@Scharfster]

5:02 #6?

[@crabwaluigi]

Yeaaaa let’s go

[@Refreshment01]

Very underrated game considering how revolutionary it is. Basically its the equivalent of wave race to snow boarding. Look at the contemporary snowbpard games & see how far ahead it wad.
Too bad development time was very rushed.

[@yannatoko9898]

1080p 1080°!

[@MrEJC53-gj9fh]

First

[@MtnSmithy]

I would recommend you at least get an AI voice or something for these videos. I'm more often than not largely listening to videos on RUclips as I work, so I don't really get anything out of these videos.

[@Ptonda]

Man, what's up with the reasons numeration? 1, then 2, then 3, then 6, then 5, then 6 😂

[@pleasedonotwatchmychannel]

I foolishly traded my cartridge back in the day, probably to get one of the PS2 GTAs 😓 wish I had 1080 back
