Back on the original Nintendo, a small dirt bike game released in 1984. Known as Excitebike players would traverse dirt courses all while racing either friends or the computer. Excitebike was so loved that in April of 2000 players could enjoy it Excitebike once again though on the Nintendo 64 and with updated visuals. Known as Excitebike 64, players could still race against friends and or the AI all while performing various jumps and accelerating at high speeds. With a track editor mode, players could even create their own race courses to test themselves or their friends to see who was the king of the dirt.

With that being said, that’s why we knew we had to start of our list of 6 Games Like 1080 Snowboarding properly with another great Nintendo 64 game. Excitebike 64 may not have the impress graphics it did back in 2000s in comparison to now but the fun that we all have still with it is unmatched by a lot of newer titles. The track editor was robust enough to give players a nice number of things to do if they grew tired of the 17+ tracks available in Excitebike 64. That’s why if you want a truly classic sports title that mirrors 1080 Snowboarding we fully recommend playing Excitebike 64. Don’t fret though if you don’t own a Nintendo 64 anymore as you can still buy Excitebike 64 on the virtual console for the Wii and Wii U which will give you the full game in all of its original glory.

Upon failing at a special event, you realize that you must create your own sports team and once more rise up to become yet again a skateboard legend. However, with other teams who wish to do the same be prepared to find the best for your team and skate like you’ve never skated before.

The Skate series has always been one of our franchise for skateboarding based games. This statement applies to Skate 3 which released in 2010 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. With the power of the modern systems, Skate 3 blew our minds with impressive visuals, epic music and tons of content to sink our skateboarding love into. While you might not be on the snow filled slopes of a mountain like in 1080 Snowboarding, Skate 3 will put you on the hard concrete of various streets and skateparks and give you the same level of immersion that you would feel in 1080 Snowboarding. Skate 3 is a pretty low priced game by now so if you want to find a solid title for your older consoles, we fully recommend picking it up when you can!

SSX fans get ready for a reboot to the famous snowboarding series. In SSX various snowboarders have been gathered together to rip the slopes for fame and for charity. However, a former SSX member by the name of Griff Simmons has decided to conquer the slopes and become the best before anyone else. Now the other snowboarders must aim to beat Griff before he steals the fame on a global scale. Get ready to unleash all the tricks in your arsenal in SSX.

While we loved 1080 Snowboarding, our heart was always torn with the 2000 snowboarding game known as SSX. That’s why in 2012 when SSX was rebooted and made for the PS3 and Xbox 360 by developer EA Canada—one of the original publishing teams behind the original SSX—we were extremely stoked. With new tracks, updated visuals and a classic gameplay mode—which allows you to use analogue sticks for tricks or face buttons—SSX is the perfect game to experience what it would be like on the slopes at least in a more arcade focused experience. That’s why if you’re in a dire need of a game that matched the arcade gameplay of 1080 Snowboarding but with more updated mechanics and visuals then we strongly recommend SSX. Also, we’re sorry in advance if the title song gets stuck in your head like it does in ours…

Thus, when Activision announced that developer Robomodo was helming a HD remaster/remake titled Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD fans and us were more than a little excited. Getting to hear some great music while performing various tricks in legendary skate parks from the original version was a real treat in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD. That fact alone made us include Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD in our 6 Games Like 1080 Snowboarding list as we know many will love experiencing the greatness that was originally seen on the PS1 in the more current gaming age.
