I don't think they were ever that popular but I remember some from the PS2 gen and earlier while I can't think of any since then

Snowboarding just isn't as trendy as it was in the late 90s-early 2000s.

Skateboarding has had it's ups and downs as well. It's not super popular like it was in the 90s but there are still current gen skateboard games coming out.

Skater XL has been a blast to play.

Unironically this.

I used to rent Snowboard Kids 2 at Blockbuster at least once a month.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. MK64 had boring racing, but its battle mode is still amazing.

1080 Snowboarding is way better than it has any right to be. Like, accidentally great. Piss poorly explained, but once you figure out how air balance works, you can do whatever the fuck you want at mach speeds.

I felt like Steep took itself too seriously.

I want ridiculously over the top tricks, outdated slang and a cheesy pop-punk soundtrack, haha.

I played the demo of MTV Snowboarding on the psx more than I played some full games.

I'm still quietly hopeful that the THPS remake will mark a return of the extreme sports genre.

The DLCs fix that pretty well. Not the Olympics one, obviously, but the others are pretty off-the-wall.

Yeah, they gave the characters a more realistic, anime style as opposed to the super-cartoony style the N64 games had.



Either that didn't resonate well with people (even though anime was going through a boom at that time)--particularly longtime fans--or the gameplay was just ass. Maybe both?

That is the key to a great extreme sports game to me. I don't care about realism, I want to do impossible stuff.

I feel like sports is one genre where realism actually makes sense.

Not that I don't like being able to jump 30 feet high and having flames shoot out of your feet as you race for the end zone but for a lot of players, being a sports star is the kind of fantasy that doesn't necessarily need further fantastical elements.

See there I disagree.
I love NBA JAM & NFL Blitz but even the simpler games like NHL 94, NBA Live 95 and such back then because if I'm playing a sports game I want it to be fun.
God knows the more simpler baseball games are much better (RBI Series form nes, genesis, ken griffey games, etc) because you ever play a realistic baseball game? A full 9 inning game feel likes forever.

While yes a sports game on tv usuaally is 2 hours give or take. When I play a videogame version I'd rather it be 30 minutes or less.
