Anyone here played snowboard kids?

>10 years old

Why yes, and by the looks of things there were nearly 10 people who played this game. What a time to be alive.

One of my favorites as a kid, I'm lucky enough to still have my copy.

yeah i did. fun game, hated how it couldn't save on the cartridge, why was this even a thing?
man the n64 had so many good multiplayer games come to think of it, might be the ultimate party console to this date

Not Enough!

ALL AROUND

Based.

WHY IS THERE NO PROPER SBK3 WITH MINIGAMES, DATING ELEMENTS AND FREE ROAMING. THIS IS FUCKING ABSURD

>that fucking lift
Even though the game is fun, isn't that the most unfair thing in any racing game ever?

I hope Snowboard Kids comes back. I mean nows the best possible time for it.

If you didnt play Jam then you are not my nigga and can leave my presence.

Yeah, I remember renting it from a local video store when I was a kid. I don't really remember too much about it, I think it was fun though.

I played nancy, she was jam's crush!

Best song coming through.

FREEEEESTYLE

Every single fucking sfx and soundclip from the first game is burned into my mind

I think it adds a comedic level of skill that no other game had.

DELETE THIS, FUCKING DELETE THIS

I raise you night highway

Slash or bust, bitchboy.

there's so much to unpack that's just wrong about this, and I haven't even played the game. Why is everyone so generic anime trash looking? Why does one of them have a fucking fireball in their hand? Why is one of them a ninja? It hurts to look at

well the original had kind of like an old moeblob shinchan type look right, I guess they thought they could modernize it by doing modern anime I guess.

They all had little bios, and canon OTP, except for tommy, he was the odd one out but, acted like a catalyst between the girls and the boys.

Haha, yeah, that would be absurd...

This, in the first game he was called Shinobin

Why is she so Jewish?

Linda was the richest out of the 4 core kids in the first game so.. do the math.

Honest question, what happens with all these dead IPs

If I'm some game dev, and i want to pick up the rights for this series, what do I do? Just ask the company how much?

I'm not a game dev, but if I ever were to be rich I'd fund the revival of this game

Yep, pretty much this. You could whip out conkers bad furday, maryoh cart, SBK, smash, Buck bumble or anything really.

Everyone would have fun.

I had the idea of creating a game studio dedicated solely to resurrecting dead IPs. My idea for the name was "Graveyard Studios". Pocky and Rocky would be the first IP on my radar.

How much does the rights for a dead IP go for you reckon?

Also very good, hope you can make it bro.

>Not Necromancer Studios

Devs pitch new games to IP holders all the time, but it's very common for these pitches to go nowhere. Retro pitched a first person Mega Man X revival to Capcom a while back, and some animators that worked on the cutscenes in Sonic Heroes pitched a Sonic THPS style game to Sega years before Sonic Riders came out. That path is far more likely to get something made than waiting for the rights to go up for sale, which only happen when a company is really hurting for money or is actually out of business. Since Sega Published all fo the SBK games, I assume they have the rights. No reason for them to sell them when the time could be right any day now to make a new SBK.

I see so its more of a approval thing, more than just a simple transaction.

That's a great fanart piece.
I hate how the DS, among other things, butchers Tommy's personality by turning him into a punk ass bully.

Wrong. The Grass Valley remix is the best one.

I remember knowing of this games existence but never seeing on sale anywhere. How rare is it and is actually shit compared to the first 2?

very shit

Yeah completely butchered all the personalities of the kids, design wise everything.

They look like Digimon characters

I played 1 and 2, but for some reason the first game is was stuck to me most. Why is that?

>11 years old

It ran faster.

Really? shit I never realized.

My cousin and I rented this game for a weekend once when we were young. I honestly don't remember too much about it other than we really liked it and spent the entire weekend playing it.

fucking how

Thanks Yea Forums bros for reminding me I need to replay this.

>takes up 121 pages out of 123 on the memory pak
how the fuck

>Linda is 11 despite that chest
Daddy really paid a lot of money here

Yes to make sure he married the most genetically fertile and endowed woman on the planet, to produce such a perfect specimen of a daughter.

The only worthwhile Fatlus game

Why did the 3DS version turn Tommy into the bully when Slash is talking about breaking noses and Jam is getting jealous at every tiny thing? Nancy is the only pure one here.

I'm back.
Thank you for your support, bro. Unfortunately however, I don't really see myself going ahead with this idea. I just felt like sharing it on here so that anyone with a similar idea who's reading it can sort of take inspiration.
Sounds pretty genetic desu.

what if older, absolute tittymonster linda

Also, I can't really say with a straight mind how much a dead IP would cost to aquire. I reckon millions from some easy-going studios, to straight-up refusal from the more greedy ones...

>that girl on the left isn't a blonde Linda
>it's Nancy
>Linda's not even in the game
>The kid with the fireball is her replacement
What the fuck

Stole it from blockbuster as a kid. Highly underrated game.

Honestly I'm a huge weeb and this is probably just nostalgia talking, but swapping from the stupid conehead style to straight anime just feels wrong. I mean, they probably wanted to do anime from the beginning and did the conehead style to cut corners but its strangely endearing.

I stole super Mario 64 from Blockbuster. uwu

Ciel is that you?

it worked out in their favor extremely well.

>Millions

Welp the dream is dead

I had a little song that played in my head when you play the Linda's House level.

Me oh my
Life is divine
You stand around
Dancing 'round
Get this down on
Paper

And I forgot the rest.

Hey thats pretty cute, did you have any head canon for the first 2 games?

Keep the dream alive, user. Who knows, a studio might just give you away an IP for free.

Here's the shit I made up when I was a kid
>I made a comic of with OC characters blatantly ripped off from SBK, same names and everything, just some different clothing and hairstyles here and there, and different proportions. I drew a scene where the boys, slash and jam are at a skate park doing tricks. Then the girls ( linda and nancy) show up and ask to skate with them. Slash dismisses them because they are just another couple of skirts, who can't possibly skate. Jam is the silent shy type and can't help but catch nancy glancing his way, and they both get embarrassed when crossing glances. So linda rips a skate board from who knows where, pops some sick movies and proves slash wrong. Slash can't help but feel incredibly attracted to linda, but immediately goes tsundere mode

That was the gist of it, can't believe how much imagination I had back then.

>they probably wanted to do anime from the beginning
They did do anime from the beginning. Anime is not a unified style. Hell, the giant, bulbous noses on several characters recall one of the most well known (adoptive) dads in anime.

Attached: ProfessorOchanomizu-1966AstroBoy.jpg (225x215, 19K)

Why thank you.

That's when I realized SBK could work extremely well with dating sims + slice of life elements. It could be a sort of nickelodeans rocket power but in vidya format.

This is true, I mean look at astroboy, pretty sure lots of the design in there had big noses and such.

i never played 2, it's good?

this thread has me tempted to try the games and draw things

Yeah, I see Osamu Tezuka being paid homage clearly with the designs. Funny how it stands out to this day like you said.

I was a big fan of it as a kid. It's a fun alternative to Mario Kart that does some unique things that take advantage of the snowboarding theme.The lift gates are some of the funniest things to see newcomers to the Snowboard Kids games figure out.

DRAW LINDA AND NICOLE

i mean i played SBK1, was wondering if the sequel was also good or even better.

kinda funny but the ps1 port has an option to auto go to the lift gates

SBK1 and 2 were great staples for the N64, the DS version was disappointingly soulless.

I didn't know I could get aroused by a big titty lemming

I feel like the rest are kids and she just a whore like I think she means to say her sugar daddy

Draw Jam dabbing while doing a trick

you couldn't possibly have a more soulless, plastic corpse-on-a-stick reimagining if you tried

I wanna play these games. What version do I go for?

Oh, right. 2 is good as well. It has a lot of boards that are gimmicky as all hell and should only be used for equally gimmicky races with friends, but it's a lot of fun. It has way more "out there" level themes than the first game, and the ability to choose different costumes for each character is neat.

>I'll beat you, and I'll break your nose doing it
Based, they couldn't get away with that today

I have fond childhood memories playing the sequel

N64 and PS1 are the same gameplay-wise (though I'll say ps1 is a bit slower than N64 and looks worse graphics-wise), the ps1 has some different music tracks, new characters, cutscenes and extra skins for the characters, it's up to you which one to play.

Great redesigns, but
>Flat Linda
Could be better

if you are a fan of the first then your going to love sbk2
-you can block almost all items if you can jump at the right time ( very hard to pull off )
-the add boss battle which believe it or not are very fun
- the got very creative with the levels design there an underwater,haunted house and space, stages to name a few. with each stage being really creative.
-each stage has a cut scene before and after the race no over arching story just slice of life clips which add a lot
-the an hub area in which you can walk around to stores and other game modes ( add to the charm)
-bunch of new charters to unlock ( Wendy best girl fight me )
each character get 4 costume Halloween, beach, normal, and space ( they are each very different)
-after you beat the game you can then play on hard mode ( this is extremely difficult and only those who have master the game mechanics and maps will be able to get past the first few stages ) each stage you beat in hard mode unlocks a new board with each having different effect and not playing like the normal boards

sbk 1 and 2 are probably my favorite games ( bomber man hero is my favorite thought) I hope more anons will be able to enjoy them as well.

Attached: 25324252345.jpg (1280x720, 92K)

I like your attitude and I too hope more people are exposed to these games.

The game's just boring; half the appeal was the characters and style of the game, that version has none of either.

>PS1 version was never translated
Oh. Okay.

SBK and Michief Makers are both such stylish games that deserve way more fanart than they've ever gotten.

>tfw making 150K+ a year now but saved up to buy snowboard kids by shoveling rocks in our backyard for my parents at 3$/hour back in the day.

Still one of my favorite n64 games. I was a Jam main. Didnt know there was a special 2 board for years after unlocking 1 and 3

Who are the other girls?

I only know the core 5 from 1 and 2

They're from Snobow Kids Plus aka the expansion game on ps1

or bump into the wall for those pans

>rocks in front of the lift

DEVLISH

What are their names and background info?

What was the fucking espn game i played, rollerblading, snowboarding, skateboarding..m so fucking solid. Great game

Blonde is Called Nicole, she's Linda's rival
Brownette is Kaede, she's like Shinobin, but more childish
Pink Hair is Pamela, she's a movie Actress

>no porn of them having their big fat noses stuffed between thicc asscheeks.

I want to fuck the beakie.

thank you very much.

To be honest I'm fine with the core kids, 1+ 2

Of course you do, she has a rich daddy.

Growing up with an N64 I'd usually get games on holidays. My grandparents didn't know too much about vidya, but always ended up getting me gems like Snowboard Kids and Harvest Moon 64.

Still need to find a copy of SBK 2 though.

tfw this will never have a slice of life adaption, a mix between saved by the bell with school + rocket power with extreme sports.

I think this is a great basis for a very charming soulful cartoon.

with a nose like that such an act sounds more believable than it should be

I can see an OVA, but that is it.

Why just an ova?

Only because I think Atlus back then wouldn't have the money or budget for it. Note an OVA isn't just a one-off production, you could get six or so episodes for it covering both games.

oh right of course, well assume atlus got all the funding they needed. I think it could go pretty far, well maybe for a demographic in the 90s not so much today.

I wrote a book report on Rayman 1 and got an 83.
