SBK: Snowboard Kids

About

Snowboard down hills perform tricks and race friends in this Nintendo DS sports game. Up to four players can join wirelessly using a single game card. Characters are teenagers now but the core mechanics stay familiar. Tweak your stance launch off ramps and carve through powder while battling for the fastest time. The touch screen handles tricks and movements while the main screen shows the track ahead. The wireless multiplayer is a standout letting friends play without extra copies. The shift to older characters adds a new dynamic without changing the lighthearted vibe. While it lacks the novelty of earlier entries it still delivers simple snowboarding fun. Players who enjoyed the series' earlier N64 and PlayStation titles might find this a nostalgic yet updated take on the formula.
