Inspired by the arcade fun that was SSX, its trick-fuelled spiritual successor, HYPERyuki: Snowboard Syndicate, has received a new trailer.
First revealed at an event last year, HYPERyuki: Snowboard Syndicate is being developed by an independent Mexican studio called Wabisabi Games. It promises “a modern take on white knuckled arcade-style snowboarding.” It’s obviously been inspired by SSX and Jet Set Radio.
