1080 Avalanche ships
One of the first companies to put video game snowboarders in motion now plans to move mountains. Whether players are airdogs or poseurs, goofy foot or regular, 1080°: Avalanche for Nintendo GameCube lets fans shred the slopes and even experience an avalanche chasing them downhill.
For Canadian gamers, 1080°: Avalanche provides the ultimate freestyle snowboarding gaming experience featuring huge air, massive drop offs, deep powder and challenging runs from around the world including Canada's very own Whistler Blackcomb.
Adding to the excitement, 1080°: Avalanche also offers players a variety of hot alternative tunes from Canadian bands like Finger Eleven and Cauterize to jam with as they race down the slopes. Players pick the music that suits them the best, just as real snowboarders do. And just like a real snow park, 1080°: Avalanche immerses players in incredibly realistic snow-covered environments.
"Natural elements like sunshine, rain, wind - or in this case, snow and a raging avalanche - are some of the toughest to re-create in a computer-generated environment," says Ron Bertram, General Manager, Nintendo of Canada Ltd. "Not only does 1080°: Avalanche succeed, it takes the snowboarding genre to a whole new altitude while providing Canadian game enthusiasts with the opportunity to experience the scenic beauty and course challenges of Whistler Blackcomb."
