I remember playing this game when I was younger and to have my kids playing it is like reliving the good ole days.

This game is fun for all ages! Very easy to play and exciting to build your own course to race on!

I loved Excitebike as a kid. Blistered my thumbs many times for playing this game for hours on end. Luckily, it is downloadable on the Wii now, so the classic game is back.

Excitebike is a motorcycle racing game for the original NES. It doesn't have a huge track selection (There are only 5 tracks, compared to Mario Kart's 16 or 20), but there are 2 gameplay modes (Race against time or CPUs) and, the best part, a track designer! Yup, that's right. A NES game with a level editor. Pure bizarreness.

The graphics are great for the NES, and so are the sounds.

The gameplay is pure motorcycle racing adapted to NES controllers. When you crash, you better mash A and B quickly.

The frustrating aspect about the game, however, is when you crash nearby a ramp. You don't go back down the ramp. You keep tumbling UP the ramp, and then down the other side. Yet, it's funny watching the riders tumble on the ground.

excitebike is a game that will never go out of style. it's premise is simple. be first to the finish. the control is simple as well race horizontally and pick one of four paths vertically. this game even has a track editor. which is lightyears ahead of it's time. own a piece of video game history. buy this game.

He enjoys his gift and plays it often.
