Shortly after the release of ''[[1080° Snowboarding]]'' (1998), [[Nintendo]] announced that [[Left Field Productions]] was taking over development for a sequel title on the [[Nintendo 64]]. Pre-production planning was done on the game, but it was cancelled early on in favor of moving development to the then-upcoming [[GameCube]] platform. When Left Field later ended their exclusivity contract with Nintendo, their work was returned to Nintendo, and the game was reworked internally by Nintendo to release as ''1080° Avalanche'' (2003) for the GameCube.[{{Cite web |date=November 20, 1998 |title=1080 2 Halted, Team Eyes New Hardware |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/1998/11/21/1080-2-halted-team-eyes-new-hardware |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240406135521/https://www.ign.com/articles/1998/11/21/1080-2-halted-team-eyes-new-hardware |archive-date=April 6, 2024 |access-date=February 15, 2024 |website=[[IGN]]}}][{{Cite web |title=25 N64 Games That Were Canceled for Ridiculous Reasons |url=https://www.thegamer.com/n64-video-games-canceled-reasons-unfair/#1080-snowboarding-2 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240516061902/https://www.thegamer.com/n64-video-games-canceled-reasons-unfair/#1080-snowboarding-2 |archive-date=May 16, 2024 |access-date=February 15, 2024 |website=TheGamer.com}}] Development of the game was handed to Nintendo's American development studio, Nintendo Software Technology Corporation (NST).[{{Cite web |last=O'Neill |first=Jamie |date=October 20, 2009 |title=1080° Avalanche Review (GCN) |url=http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/2009/10/1080d_avalanche_retro |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190504092858/http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/2009/10/1080d_avalanche_retro |archive-date=May 4, 2019 |access-date=June 14, 2019 |website=[[Nintendo Life]]}}] The final product features visual output at [[480p]] and [[Dolby Pro Logic II]] sound.{{cn|date=January 2026}} |
