I don't think anyone minded after the crappy 989 games.

>>12424032
3 was decent, wasn't it?

>>12424027
>completely different logo for all 5 games

>le memory holes
Shut the fuck up you dumb zoomshit

>>12424451
I bet you don't even know the term is from 1984 retard

>>12424471
And no one used it so much like you retarded low vocabulary monkeys

>>12424027
Nobody cared about any of these games back then, no matter how hard they tried to push them. If you wanted your snow fix you play Sled Storm.

>>12424502
>nobody cared
>made enough money to make 9 games in the franchise
Are you really that retarded?

>>12424529
>Are you really that retarded?
No, I was actually there so I know. The reason for it it's because it had no competition so it tried to fill a niche market. Still, nobody gave a fuck, until recently apparently, where zoomers discevered it through the switch 2 and are trying to push that these games were ever any good.

think i only played 1 and 2. they were great games but got overshadowed by tony hawk

>>12424541
Ah I was wondering why people suddenly started making threads about it.

>>12424541
>nobody gave a fuck
Then explain how every game made enough money so that there are 9 games in the franchise. If "nobody gave a fuck" as you say, it would have lost a substantial amount of money and stopped with the 1st one. You're clearly a retard and don't understand how business works.

>>12424483
Yes, yes (you) are.

>>12424557
>there are 9 games in the franchise.
Good point. There are are only 6 SSX games so technically Cool Boarders is the more successful franchise.

>>12424027
because in the 2000s PS1 games were just "old obsolete games". the retro game fad was focused on 8bit and some 16bit back then.

>>12424576
There wasn't a retro game fad then
And almost every PS2 owner had some PS1 games on the shelf, an FF or RE or two

>>12424617
yeah, as "old games" he didn't play anymore. the idea of going back and playing old games rather than new ones didn't really come around until the late 00s and early 2010s when millennials hit their 20s and started nostalgiafagging over their childhood. there was a time when new games were consistently better than old games, a concept zoomers have a real hard time wrapping their heads around.

>>12424027
I can't believe they made so many of these games, I've seen all 5 of those but I've never seen the 1997 other games. were they released in Europe or something?

>>12424201
Yeah, it's way better than the other releases. The controls feel really good, doing ridiculously fast backflips on the halfpipe maps never gets boring once you get the hang of it.
I played the other titles for the first time just about a year ago and couldn't believe how much they sucked compared to 3.
I wouldn't rule out that I'm a bit biased by nostalgia tho, I played Cool Boarders 3 a lot as a child.

>>12424027
Cool Boarders is forgotten because the franchise rights are a mess.
UEP Systems owned the name in Japan, but Sony owns it everywhere else. 3 and 4 were developed by a different studio, while the Dreamcast game was developed by the original devs but was only called Cool Boarders in Japan, and Code Alien was a Japanese-exclusive PS2 game.
It seems like since UEP went bust that the franchise is now wholly owned by Sony, and it has now landed in the great big licensing graveyard of IPs that Sony has completely stopped giving a shit about as an emulated version of CB1 recently released on the Nintendo Switch.

It was beloved in Europe, cool boarders 2 and then 3 and 4 were well known.

>>12424502
>Nobody cared about any of these games back then
i loved playing cb2 as a kid, same with 2xtreme
fuck off with your revisionist bullshit

>>12425263
Wtf is that picture in the middle of the bottom row supposed to be

>>12424027
Non-japanese installments were soulless

>>12424027
>>got completely memory holed by the existence of SSX
This was referenced in some official promo text for the PS2 version of Cool Boarders 2001, which was released between SSX 1 and Tricky.

>The competition has put on a full-on show--now it's time for the vet to carve its own line and show how this sport gets done.
...then the series ended with 2001 as the last game, and SSX got like 5 more games.

>>12425513
It seems some of those static real images that psx games used to had during loading ... screens.

I find snowboarding games boring, and both Coolboarders and SSX are no exception.

>>12425513
it's a snowboarder jumping with a mountain in the background

Just checked it out, it's from the intro video. I always skip that whenever I replay that game, that's why I didn't recognize it lol.

>"""""""""memory holed"""""""""
They just rereleased the first one on Console Archives.

>>12424027
Coolboardes was somewhat popular back in the day, SSX is unknown to the general public.
I have cool 2 but I never really enjoyed it.
