Review Snowboard Riot (WiiWare)
Is Hudson's Snowboard Riot a riot to play, or just a wipe-out?
There's no denying that Hudson is one of the more talented developers on WiiWare. All of their games to date have done much to impress and show other devs how it’s done. In Snowboard Riot they have turned their hand to creating a racing game with the added bonus that you can use items...

News EU WiiWare Update: Beer Pong and Snowboard Riot
It had to happen some day. We’d been hoping and praying that it would pass us by; that maybe Nintendo, in its infinite mercy would deem us Europeans likeable enough to avoid such digital garbage, but sadly it wasn’t to be. We’re sorry to report that the lamentable Beer Pong! Frat Party Games – the game that proved that quality and popularity don’t always go hand-in-hand by topping the US WiiWare charts for God knows how long - is now available on the EU WiiWare service.

News USA WiiWare Update: Snowboard Riot & Lonpos
Great news for snowboarding fans today as Hudson’s Snowboard Riot is up for grabs for 1000 Wii points. This game looks like it has it all, racing action, weapons to slow down your opponents, Balance Board support and most importantly online competition! We think it looks like potentially one of the most exciting WiiWare games of the year, but you’ll have to wait for our review in a couple of days to discover if this is really the case. Until then why not check out the official site to help you decide if you want to take a chance on it before our review?

A snowboard game with weapons...
Could be funny^^.
this looks awesome hope it is
I can see this being ace. If it does turn out like 1080, though, then I'll be disappointed. Let's hope it fulfills its potential.
I was about to get Shaun White but since this game has a lot more feature then Shaun White am getting this game instead thanks Hudson for making me save 50 bucks !!!!!
THIS LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow that is a lot of !!!!!!!!!!! (exclamation) marks Nintendork.
Huh, could be good. Will look out for it.
Screenshots look nice
I would probably buy Shaun White if it had online play. What were they thinking? The use of wii balance board is clutch, but I wanna use it online against my lil bro who also has a board. Snowboard riot also lets you shoot at eachother Mario Kart-style? COUNT ME IN!
Hudson Soft. is working pretty good on WiiWare!
Hudson is proving to be making above average games for WiiWare so far...let's keep it up.
@Terranigma: I found 1080 very disappointing - the tricks were often tricky to get right, there were few courses (although they did have off-branching routes - which I quite liked) and the boarding music did my head in. In addition to this, I found the multiplayer modes disappointing and the whole thing felt like a mess. I'm almost definite that this is just my opinion though, and I'm sure that many others see the goodness in 1080.
I, personally, didn't like the physics in 1080. I dunno why, but my character always would fidget and slow down after landing from a jump. I also thought the characters were boring, the music was irritating, and the boring scenery.
That being said, I'd still give 1080 a 4/5 stars.
"Spring" Bah! I just hope we genuinly do get a good game ebfore America for once...
EDIT: Sorry. Jan...? Woo hoo! I'll save some ponit for it. Anyone know how much?
Screens look really nice.
Do we know approximately how many courses there will be or if there will be online?
Please post any friend codes you wish to swap for Snowboard Riot in this thread. If you haven't yet signed up to VC Forums, we recommend you do so.
Any friends codes posted on this page will be removed. Please keep your comments about the game
Am I the only one here who has it? That's such a shame. Why is everyone so bent on waiting for a review? XD
I bought it as well. I've been waiting so long for it I couldn't wait until a review came out.
@Toddr: Same! How do you like it? I'm having trouble finding someone to play with at the moment. Have you tried online? Wanna exchange FC's in the above thread?
Yeah, It seems only about 10 people have bought in all of north america. If you look at the leaderboards, some only have 1 or 2 names listed. Also, how do you see your friend code? When I look at it, it just shows xxxx-xxxx-xxxx.
I have bought the game, wanna play now? I will post my FC on the forums.
By the way, I own the 1st position on 2 Time Attacks in Canada
That's you? I can barely even make it down the hill without falling off the edge many times.
Yeah it's kinda hard at the beginning but you get used to the game quite fast.
well, I've only been able to play it for about half an hour so far.
So, do you guys use the balance board when you play? I find it way too hard.
I don't have the Balance Board
EDIT : First in all the Time Attacks!
I haven't tried the Balance Board yet.
@Julbaril: You beat my time on Course 4, huh? lol. That's the only Course I TA'd thus far. What's your name online?
A while ago I had my first 4P race. It was awesome! Chaotic, but fun.
I have an AA Rank online!!
@Toddr: Once you go online, then you'll get a Friend Code. When you reload the game, you'll see it.
My name is Jul online by the way.
Ah, okay. Just checking that I haven't faced you yet. I've faced about 8 different people.
Huge fan of the original 1080 - I really hope this game is just like it.
Ok, I've only loaded the game once, so I didn't know that.
@lapetus = I have 1080 Snowboarding on the VC. I'm not that big of a fan (never played before, wasn't exactly what I expected. I somewhat regret getting it even if it was a gift.. I wish I could've used that 1,000 Points some other way, honestly).
But anyway, imho, Snowboard Riot bests it but that's just me. You may find otherwise. I certainly had more fun with SR than I am/did with 1080...
Wow, Jul. You beat me by a minute on course 3.
So to people who have gotten this, like it more or less than 1080?
Well I've never played any other snowboarding game before, but I can say it is a great game if you like mariokart style games.
Also, what's with my picture? It just popped up overnight. Does the website give you an avatar based on your username?
I don't know but it did the same to me Toddr.
I prefer this game over 1080°. It kinda looks like Snowboard Kids on the N64 but way more mature and there's the option of racing without items.
@Obj_Blaster: Like I said earlier, I like this a lot more than 1080 Snowboarding. Snowboard Riot has a lot in common with Snowboard Riot, which has been mentioned many times already.
@Toddr: Well, maybe cause seeing your name without an avatar on this page with your comments got annoying? XD Online, are you Ty?
@Julbaril: Hey! you online? I can't find anyone at this time. Also, nice run on Course 3.
Did you guys see the new #1 guy? He's passed me. I'm at an AA still from yesterday but that Kendo guy is 1st with an S Rank. Nice! I faced him in one match when he still had a B. He was okay.
No, my username is Todd online.
Hey, I bought the game yesterday. I think it's pretty cool and is worth a buy from what I've seen/played. (Although I think 1080 is definitely better offline.) I just logged onto WFC for the first time and I was surprised to see that I'm rated as no. 2 right behind Jul. I also see Knuxsonic on there, which I'm guessing is you, KnucklesSonic8. I just added my friend code on the forums.
I'm going to practice a little more and figure out how to perform some tricks before actually racing random people online. Just out of curiosity, who do you guys use and how do you customize them? I use Ledrov with a black beanie, jet black goggles, and the black jacket.
@Toddr = Cool, cause I saw Todd on the high score tables for BATTLE.
@rbtransformed: Yep, that's me! Too bad I can't put the number 8! lol. But yeah, not too many people have this game yet. A lot of people seem to be using Ledrov actually, myself included.
Yeah, I've tried Ledrov but I find him too hard to control at high speeds. I still haven't really decided on who I will stay with yet.
@KS8, yeah I understand. I couldn't fit rbtransformed either... it would've been something like "rbtrnsfrmd" had I gone with my usual screen name which just looks like gibberish! lol
I honestly haven't even tried the other characters. And I've really only played around with the goggles as far as equipment goes. I wonder if you can unlock any extras.
I really hope there is unlockables, because that is one of the best parts of games. It's no fun when everything is just given to you at the start of the game.
I hope so too but I wouldn't be disappointed if there aren't any.
DLC would've been nice. lol.
Ah, I want it but I have to wait for the reivew.
tkubas: I have to wait for a realise. <_<
Well, TR, at least it's been confirmed for EU release.
@tkubas1: Don't go by IGN's review. Their reviews have been sub-par lately and their review for SR is no exception. The game deserves a lot better. It's clear they didn't spend much time with the game. >_>
I don't know if I should get this. Should I download this or Hot rod show?
Well I've never played that hot rod game, but I can say for sure that you will like this if you like racing games with weapons.
When is this game going to get reviewed? Cause it seems most people won't buy it unless it gets a good review. IMO it is a great game and definately worth 1000 points. At least an 8/10.
This is taking... longer than usual. Hmmm...
@Toddr: I completely agree. And yep, I DL'd Hot Rod too and SR is better, imo.
I agree with anyone who says that WiiWare needs a good racing game. I like games like Mario Kart and such, but a great game like Mario Kart has failed to come out on WW. When a game like that does come out, I will download it within a flash.
wow cant wait i heard its coming out in europe on friday the 27th
@Kaluba: Admittedly, SNOWBOARD RIOT is pretty good and TBH, since I got it on Day One it's taken up more of my time that I would spend on MKWii and that can only be a good thing since I'm such a big fan of MKWii. It's definitely a nice change of pace.
should have been 800 points or less great game though
