And if that’s not the quality of a good game then I don’t know what is. Released in 1985, Excitebike was one of the original launch titles for the NES in North America. While you’ll initially spend all your time devising the sort of devious ramps and jumps that even Evil Knievel would think long and hard about jumping across, you’ll soon take it all seriously and begin to create courses that really test your mettle.Īnd that’s the beauty of Excitebike – the more put into Nintendo’s superb little racer, the more you’ll continue to get out of it. When you’ve finally exhausted the single-player time trials, and have become bored with constantly beating the computer’s AI, Excitebike has one more trick up its sleeve – a sublime edit mode. Thank you for selecting the Excitebike 64 Game Pak for the Nintendo 64 system. Beautifully paced, your three competitors are initially fairly easy to beat, but as the levels progress you have a real fight on your hands if you want to walk away with first place. Description Have fun playing the amazing Excitebike 64 game for Nintendo 64. While the single-player time trials are pretty good fun – 21 years on and I’m still returning to them thanks to the recent Virtual Console release – it’s racing against the three computer opponents that really helps to elevate Nintendo’s racer above similar games of the time. Sure, you’ll have to occasionally keep an eye on your temperature gauge to make sure your bike doesn’t overheat, but that’s about as complicated as Excitebike gets.

It doesn’t look too special with its just about functional backgrounds, teeny weeny (yet rather cute) motorbike sprites and the sort of sound effects that will cause your ears to shut down in protest, but if you look deeper you’ll find that beneath the rudimentary aesthetics lies that typical Midas, sorry, Miyamoto touch.Ī simple time attack trial at its pulsing heart, Excitebike requires you to do nothing more then race through a selection of cleverly designed courses as quickly as possible. Take the brilliant Excitebike for example.

You’ve got to hand it to Shigeru Miyamoto, he certainly knows how to make great games.
