One of the few old nintendo games left that has actual untapped potential left. The Trials games have done a decent job of realizing that potential, but have turned the game into a psychotic platforming challenge, when really the side-scrolling race about how you jump and how you land has plenty left as a game.
My absolute favorite of the NES games I had in Animal Crossing, while somewhat limited in scope, this game is super fucking cool. The basic gameplay of boosting off ramps and tilting midair to land properly is really fun, there's a nice amount of courses built in, and to make things even cooler you can make your own courses if you please. I enjoyed noodling around with this so much! <3
Not bad
It's another super simple game, just get through the course at the fastest time possible.
Two options, either race through it by yourself or with other racers throughout the course. There's also an editor mode which is pretty cool to see in such an old game.
Gameplay is pretty boring honestly, you don't really get a sense of speed ever. It just feels kinda meh.
Music is ok, graphics is nice. This game is OK. If it interests you it's worth a try.

This is one of those early Nintendo games, alongside stuff like Clu Clu Land, that has some interesting design choices. Excitebike feels more than a motocross game, but one of which later stages require timing and precision to even be placed in the rankings. Staging your boosts, watching your heat meter, maneuvering through obstacles, and setting your landing angles are all critical to mastering these scores.
The added modes are pretty neat too, including races with other bikers and track designing. Truly the first of its kind for the genre.

Juego 67: Excitebike (1984)
Arcade clasicote muy disfrutón. Durante los tres primeros niveles no le acababa de pillar el rollo, no paraba de pensar "¿Por qué es tan mítico? No es para tanto", pero para cuando he empezado el quinto nivel, ya no podía parar. La segunda selección de niveles, con los NPCs corriendo contigo, es mucho más difícil, sí, pero también más divertida de jugar. Me encanta ver a otro corredor darse un mamporrazo contra una rampa chef kiss. Además, el menú de edición de niveles es una grata sorpresa.
