Wii-kly Virtual Console Update: 01/28/08
It's a lonely day for the Virtual Console. Only one game made out of the gate this time around, and that game is 1080° SNOWBOARDING from the Nintendo 64. I've heard many great things about this title and it can be all yours for 1,000 Wii Points. As you could probably gather, I have no personal experience with this game, but it does look pretty good (graphically) for an N64 game. You can read more about the game after the jump.
By the way, if you wish to share your experiences with this title, feel free to do so in the comments.

Wii-kly Update: New Classic Game Added to Wii Shop Channel
Traverse the half-pipe from the comfort of your living room. With this classic
game, it's Winter Break all the time. Freestyle through white powder, and
school your best pal with your new trick! Did you get air?
This new classic game goes live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new
games to the Wii Shop Channel every Monday. Wii™ owners with a high-speed
Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points
can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week’s new
game is:
1080°® SNOWBOARDING (N64®, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 1,000 Wii
Points): Hit the slopes for some serious shredding in one of the first truly
realistic snowboarding games ever created! Start in the lodge and select from
five characters, each with his/her own particular attributes and special
tricks. Then take a look at the wide assortment of available boards and choose
one that best suits your rider and style. Once you’ve got the gear, six
different modes of play, including Match Race, Trick Attack, and 2-Player
Versus, await. Pick a course and get ready to experience a sensation of speed
that’ll make you forget all about the cold—but it might just send a shiver
down your spine. Throw in hidden characters and boards, varying weather and
snow conditions, multiple paths through each course, and a variety of tricks
to master—topped off with rock-solid play control—and you’ve got a recipe
for winter fun that you can enjoy any time of the year. It’s all the fun and
excitement of the sport, without the bruises and frostbite!

Awesome game.
Just loved this, and it took several years and another console generation to better it with the likes of SSX.
Very simulation like and so has a bit of a learning curve but was well ahead of it's time in gameplay feel (like a lot of N64 games) and graphics.
Only thing is the competitor AI is a bit rubbish, and there's only one of them! Ahh, those were the low tech days...
Awww... I should stop disappointing myself by expecting a Mario Party title or Super Smash Bros. to appear on the VC.
Oh Super Timsy, I sent you a email with my Wii friend code. I'm not sure if you got yet it though ^.^;;
I used to play this game with my friend all the time. Once I have the points, I'm getting this :D
Ahh.. the time of my youth... good old time...
