Snowboard Kids (N64) Retrospective

Grab your boards and hit the slopes with us as we carve our way through Snowboard Kids on the N64! Way back in 1998, cart racers reigned supreme, but few franchises took such an interesting leap by borrowing the formula and repurposing it on the slopes! It's a lesser known game, but an absolute cult classic which has been requested several times by our listeners. But just because it's remembered well doesn't mean it still PLAYS well. Before flashing our lift tickets, we do a deep dive on Microsoft's recent acquisition of Blizzard/Activision, plus we get updates on Andrew's progress with Horizon: Zero Dawn (just in time for the release of Horizon: Forbidden West), and explore Mikey's new obsession with Station 11.
