NES Week: Day #5

Welp, we’re now on day 5, and what better game to have for day 5 than Excitebike? Overall this is probably the one game I have very little to talk about. Probably a bit more than the sports games but really I have barely anything to say about Excitebike.

You’re a motorcyclist in a competition and that’s kinda it. In the game you go over ramps and hope to god you crash. There are arrows on the ground to help you speed up and that’s really kind of it. Some of the fun comes In when you have to drive alongside other racers. Idk why but I find it a little more stressful and keeps me on my toes a lot more than the normal mode. There’s also a neat little track designer which is kind of an underrated feature of the game. I mean I can understand why cause like…you can’t save it. At least on the original NES.

Ramps, some of the other racers can be bitches, please don’t crash ;-;
