    I've toured North America out of a Mazda 3, spent 2 years exploring the United Kingdom out of a broken down Citroen Berlingo, lived out of a Volkswagen Transporter in Australia during the 2020 lockdown, and the year after renovated my dream van a Ford Econoline named Moe.
    This week I'm telling ya why Snowboard Kids 2 is the Greatest N64 Racing Game.
    Enjoy!
    Every Wednesday, I release a video update in the life of this comedy cowboy, so you can get a glimpse into what people are calling 'living the dream.' Laced with an original score by Andrew Watson, grab a front seat beside this pavement pounding comic that never leaves the road.

    I wasn't expecting this to actually be a really good analysis of the game's design, lol. I've always loved the chairlift from a design perspective, 100% agree it's like its own mini-game. Because the players can only file in so fast, it simultaneously gives an increase in lead time to players who win a really close lap, and a decrease to players who win with a bigger gap. It's a built in equalizer.
    Thanks for the video man I enjoyed it a lot!

    I have a theory, the theory is that Snowboard Kids was the product of developers at Atlus venting, and trying to relax after working on the latest SMT, or Persona entry.
    If my wild speculation is correct, then that explains why the barely existent story makes zero sense.
    Also, Damien is a demon, not a space alien.
    It makes perfect sense when you remember it's Atlus that made it.
    Man, forget Persona 3 Reload, Snowboard Kids 1+2 Re-Shredded is what *I* need in my life!

    Holy moly was this game hard af. Idk how I beat the final boss on expert. Turned me into a beast at this game at the least. For sure a top n64 racer, hope both come to nso it deserves at least that, maybe even ds if we get ds nso

    • @MattWatsonComedy
      @MattWatsonComedy  Před 5 měsíci

      It's a pretty challenging game altogether. In order to beat the Dinosaur in Crazy Jungle mid-way through the game, you've gotta first beat the last boss Damian in a Mech to unlock the high tech board with a fan on it to even stand a chance. I'm sure you knew that but it's just another unique piece about this game that I love:) Thanks for watching and commenting!
      Hope we get a sequel soon!
