Twisted Edge Extreme Snowboarding[a], released as Twisted Edge Snowboarding in Europe, is an extreme sports video game developed by Boss Game Studio and published by Midway in North America and by Kemco in Japan and Europe for the Nintendo 64.
[3] Twisted Edge Snowboarding was announced on June 10, 1997,[4] just as development on it was starting.
[7] While Kemco was still the publisher, the company's Japanese division pushed for the game to include a story mode in the Japanese version, in part due to marketing research which determined that Wave Race 64 would have sold better in Japan if it had had a story.
By pushing back the title, 1080° Snowboarding was released before Twisted's delay, which sold more units and is now labeled a classic.
The music was pleasurable, but the gameplay was frustrating and the graphics did not live up to the standards that 1080° Snowboarding had set.
