If you're sneaky enough to poke around the Atlus US website, you may find a hidden treat quite possibly referencing one of the company's upcoming Nintendo DS game. Removing the last letter from the URL to the company's N64 Snowboard Kids page will bring up a teaser image, a silhouette of what appears to be a snowboarder, complete with the initials "SBK" at the boarder's feet.

Atlus representatives refused to comment on the teaser page, but it's clear that this is in reference to the company's upcoming Nintendo DS version of Snowboard Kids, announced last year. Text under the image, NP V191 M05, appears to indicate that more information will show up in the May 2005 issue of Nintendo Power



No other tidbits have been revealed about the project. But if this is indeed the teaser page for Snowboard Kids DS, the silhouette seems to indicate a new art style for the characters in the upcoming dual-screen version. Previous versions of the series on the Nintendo 64 offered up distinctly superdeformed character designs, and this teaser image doesn't look anything like those goofy big-headed characters from series' past.

Sweet. Those were some of the best snowboard games made. Take the fun of mario kart and add it to the control of 1080... thanks for the post!

OMG! i just saw this on IGN.. i would LOVE to see another addition to this series!

This is probably IGN jumping the gun again.

idk, it seems pretty logical the way they broke it down... it is indeed pretty suspicous

The ones for N64 were a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to trying this one out.

I really liked the N64 games, hopefully the AI is more fair in this version (I always thought in Snowboard Kids 2, you could never get a fair lead on the computer controlled players).

Nope it's real, they're going to be changing it around to make it more "mature" though. check out Nintendo.com for more detailes

It's very real http://www.atlus.com/sbk.htm

Yeah, i loved snowboard kids for n64. I saw a little blurb about this in nintendo power today which was cool.
