Word has it from the Nintendo NSider2 forums that a new title will be speeding its way on the the U.S. Virtual Console for the Wii with 1080 Snowboarding. The new VC title is scheduled to go live this upcoming Monday on the Wii Shop Channel.

The classic Nintendo 64 title was already featured on the European VC a week ago, and now North American gamers can experience the same snow-shredding action the game has to offer. The game was received rather well when it first came out in 1998 and sported cutting-edge graphics and convincing game physics for its time.
