It's not like you had a lot of options back then, but man this game is BULLSHIT.
Okay, Excitebike is old-school, and honestly, it kinda shows. It's fun at first, dodging bikes and hitting the jumps, but there's just not that much to it. You'll burn through the tracks pretty quick. Fun for a quick blast of retro gaming but nothing to write home about.
PEAK NES GAMEPLAY
Didn't really get the hang of it but it's a pretty neat idea. Really cool that it has a level editor.
I find this game quite boring! However, for a NES title, it is quite decent! I would say the 3D Classics version is slightly better due to having more personality at least.
Amy game with a level editor is a good game in my books
Excitebike is considered one of the most classic NES games, being one of the first racing games on the system, and being remembered by its small, but nice soundtrack, its tight controls and, overall, its fun gameplay.
It's a very simple racing game, and if you select "Selection A", you don't even race against other racers.
Regardless of what mode you select, you are racing against time and trying to, at least, get 3rd Place, so you can move on to the next track.
One thing that I appreciate about this game is that there's a course editor, which is something you rarely saw in racers back then!
It's very primative, but it's still a nice addition.
There's nothing else to the game besides this though, you just race and that's pretty much it. It's fun regardless.

I can't wait for excitedavidhasslehoff spongebob edition
A envejecido muy mal, pero en su momento era extremadamente divertido.
The games kinda fun UNTIL you get to track 5. That shit is impossible. This game did spawn the best Mario kart track tho so i'll give it an extra half star
Okay, it's legit so cool that this game has a level editor. It's fun, simple and still really funny to fall over. Sadly, you won't get much out of this game after the first 10 minutes. Still worth looking back on though!
Pretty alright game. That theme song tho
Just play the track on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Look, this game came out in 1984 so the chances of it being a deep and realistic racing simulation are exactly nil. But it still manages to deliver a cool experience!
There's a deceptive amount of skill to be put to the test here, from leaning backwards to avoid tumbling over speedbumps, to tilting your bike in the air to maintain speed when you land, and multitasking to make sure your engine doesn't overheat. And while the game's rudimentary physics aren't the most satisfying, it still manages to be a very compelling "chaos simulator" thanks to the sheer amount of stuff happening onscreen at once, with the wack collision physics meaning that at least one racer is taking a spill at any given time. The difference between winning and losing spectacularly is often mercurial and seemingly down to blind luck, yet losing is... still kinda fun actually!
The game's structure embraces this emphasis on fun - you can select any track to race on at any time, with no content walled behind any arbitrary skill checks! And you can design your own tracks, as seriously or as terribly as you want!
If you play this game trying to win it you'll probably end up frustrated (I could never finish the 5th level myself). But if you treat it as a fun little playground, it's pretty good!

Considerando a plataforma e sua época é um jogo respeitável, embora tenha ficado muito datado e simplório.
1984 in Gaming #2
Another simple Nintendo game based off a sport. This time its Motorcross! Honestly this one wasn't too bad. I enjoyed running through the tracks solo and against the ai. I was also impressed by the map editor, even though I only played with it for all of ten seconds. I also found it amusing that this game has about 40 reviews on Gamefaqs (I'm not sure there is really THAT much to talk about in regards to the game). 3/5

Eh, it's alright. I'm sure it was much more exciting in its time, which is not when I played it.
Originally played this on Animal Crossing alongside Clu Clu Land, Donkey Kong 1 and Jr. Math.
Always thought it was a pretty nice game for what it last. It gets stale just like your average Atari 2600 game but the speed did felt pretty nice at first impact.

This game must have been more impressive when it was released because i have never been able to have fun with it. the controls are awkward and unresponsive, and it really just overall has not aged very well.
Pretty simple but fun
It has a good sense of speed and is easy to pick up, but takes some effort to master.
para de cair da moto fela da puta
Making a stupid course in the course maker fulfilled my 7 year old power fantasy and because i got that out of my system i am a really level headed adult
It's cute. Also hard to review these kinds of games because... what metrics am I putting it up against? The era it's from, in comparison to modern day stuff? Honestly to me it's just a cute game to play for a few minutes and then put down.
It has a level editor which is cool but other than that, it's a fine game. What else do you want me to say?
yet another animal crossing child experience -em-up
