Development
In
1999 , it was confirmed a sequel to "1080° Snowboarding" was coming to the Nintendo 64. Second-party studio Left Field was responsible for development. When the game failed to materialise, it was confirmed the game was no longer being produced for the N64, but for the GameCube. Not long after this announcement, it was also confirmed Left Field was revoking its status as a second-party studio so it could develop multi-format titles.Development of the game was handed to Nintendo's American development studio, Nintendo Software Technology Corporation (NST). They originally planned to call it "1080°: White Storm" (after ""), before finally renaming it "1080° Avalanche".Fact|date=October 2007
Versions
"1080°: Avalanche" was released in two different versions; a common single disc, and a dual disc format. The second disc was not a game disc, but rather a mini-DVD, featuring half an hour of extreme snow sports footage, set to music from the game. This version was only available at
Wal-Mart , and is differentiated by a red sash on the front cover.Fact|date=October 2007oundtrack
