Rippin' Riders Snowboarding (also known as Cool Boarders Burrrn in Japan and Snow Surfers in Europe) is a snowboard game developed by UEP Systems, the creators of the Cool Boarders series. It was released in 1999 for the Dreamcast.
Regional Differences
Rippin' Riders was originally released in Japan under the name Cool Boarders Burrrn. For the US release, UEP opted to release the Cool Boarders sequel under the name Rippin' Riders Snowboarding. This was due to the U.S. rights to the Cool Boarders name being owned by Sony Computer Entertainment whose 989 Studios (a now defunct division of Sony Computer Entertainment America) published the US releases of Cool Boarders 3 and Cool Boarders 4 for the PlayStation.[1][2][3] It has never been confirmed if the European release (known as Snow Surfers) had its name changed for similar reasons.
Reception
On release, Famitsu magazine scored the game a 30 out of 40.[4]
