SSX Tricky reboot would be a 'mega hit', fans agree

EA Sports fans are demanding the return of the snowboarding game series SSX, starting with SSX Tricky.

While the majority of EA fans are content with annual releases of Fifa, Madden and NHL, some gamers are holding out hope for the return of some long-forgotten EA Sports series, namely SSX.

Check out the intro for SSX Tricky below!

SSX was a snowboarding series that last saw an entry all the way back in 2012. Players would ride down the snow-covered slopes on several different boards, with the aim of completing objectives, beating time trials, or simply trying to rack up points.

They were very successful games and even had collaborations with Nintendo, most notably Mario and some of his friends being featured as playable characters in the GameCube version of SSX on Tour.

Recently, a Reddit thread was recently created about SSX Tricky, the second instalment in the series, by OGReverandMaynard, which said “I am convinced an SSX Tricky reboot would be a mega hit Especially if it has a mix of 4 player multiplayer that lets you mix and match between local and online.”

The post went on to say: “I remember fondly playing the original SSX Tricky on PS2 - one of my favorite all-time games - and I’d be incredibly stoked if a PS5 version were made.”

Fans were in agreement too, some of which have their own sport/extreme sport titles in mind for a revival, whether it be a series continuation or through remakes.

“I agree, gimme SSX Tricky, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing and NBA/NFL Street”

“God I loved that game. I have no interest in real snowboarding, and that game still ruled.”

“Damn, I wanna go play SSX 3 again and do the big mountain ride from the top of peak 3 to the bottom of peak 1. I got it on sale on Xbox years ago and I go back to it pretty often”

The EA Sports titles were truly in a league of their own, so it’d be nice to see a few of them come back for another go, especially since sports titles like Fifa and Madden still do fairly well on modern consoles.
