About this product

Product Information

One of the most requested sequels to an NES game finally has been developed: Excitebike has received its 64-bit upgrade. Coming from Left Field Productions, developer of NBA Courtside, is Nintendo's latest entry into the sports world. Excitebike 64 takes advantage of the current Supercross/Motocross craze.<br><br>Excitebike 64 emphasizes arcade-style racing instead of simulation-type realism. In fact, the turbo system from the original game has been included. Turbo is needed for victory, but using it increases the RPMs on your bike. Use too much turbo and your bike will overheat. Although Excitebike 64 doesn't feature real tracks or real riders, it does feature real sponsors, including Bell Helmets, Thor, Scott USA, Fox Racing and others.<br><br>Up to four players can participate in a variety of play modes -- some of which must be opened by progressing further into the game. A Season mode with different cups of tracks and different levels of difficulty is available for one player. A Tutorial exists to teach you how to take bends, how to use turbo, and how to perform special tricks. A multi-player Exhibition race is available for up to four players. A Time Trial mode lets a single player race against the clock. A selection of Special Tracks, such as the original Excitebike and a multi-player Soccer mode, can be unlocked from the Season mode. A Custom Track feature, a hallmark of the original game, has been included for designing indoor courses, too.<br><br>While you can design and save your own custom tracks, Excitebike 64 does feature 20 pre-made tracks that span indoor arenas and outdoor courses. Additionally, you can choose from six male or female riders who have different abilities in the categories of landing, jumping, cornering, and turbo. Each rider can perform over a dozen tricks, having standard moves such as the Nac Nac, Heel Clicker, Saran Wrap, No Hander, etc., as well as performing their own special moves.<br><br>Expansion Pak owners can enjoy letterboxed high-resolution races by switching on the "Hi-Res" feature in the Options screen. It can't be used in the multi-player, Tutorial, or Special Tracks modes, though. Rumble Pak and Controller Pak support has been included, too. The Rumble Pak vibrates for the different surfaces and when landing. Even though an EEPROM chip is built into the cartridge to save season progress and best times, a Controller Pak is required to save ghost data from the Time Trials and to save any Custom Track

  • Great game, still holds up! Very few flaws. (And the ones that do exist are not major, lol)

    Great biking game! Map editors are always appreciated of course. While the graphics may be dated, they don't really hold the game back too much. Physics are surprisingly realistic. I don't usually like biking games, but this one I found I have some fun with. Coming from playing Trackmania Nations Forever when I was a bit younger, I find this almost nostalgic. (At the least with the map editor.) I don't have many complaints, only few I have are that the crashing mechanic is a *smidge* punishing, and that the map editor controls aren't exactly easy, at least coming from someone who has been used to PC and dual stick using systems for the last 15 or so years. Lol. All in all, a 4.75/5. I rounded it up to five, though. Played for at least a few hours. Fun to pick up off the shelf every now and again, when I feel the itch to play a biking game. A rare itch for me, but this game scratches it.

  • Excellent.

    What a great deal for a not for resale. It is very mint overall, with the back sticker being the mintiest I have ever seen! Fantastic collectible piece! The game has beta content and is different from the release, so it makes it much more great. Cheers!

  • Works great! Made the mistake of giving the N64 & games away years ago. Now I'm slowly buying them all back.
