Excitebike (NES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@uncledarthy3783]

I used to love this game as a kid, it was one of the first games where you could make your own course

[@NintendoComplete]

Who else liked to try making jumps off of the guys that had wrecked and were running across the road? 😆

[@TheRandomRager]

lol I would if I had the game

[@royalkumar795]

I completely touch to upper screen

[@anthonyholmes195]

The game genie will make you jump so high that you will come from the bottom of the screen

[@faizaanmerchant2237]

I tried to run them over💀

[@ekang17]

Me! Hahaha

[@kagemaru259]

Who else instantly became a kid again as soon as they heard the intro music?

[@SWOgottaGO]

You have no idea

[@BenJabituya]

SO MANY MEMORIES! I was 9, going on 10 at the time. I gifted this for a friend for her 8th birthday. I played it at her house before I even got my own Nintendo. By the time my 10th birthday came, she and another friend gifted this game to my for my 10th birthday! What I also enjoyed about this game is that it even let you design some courses.

[@AudreyMealiff]

This brings back some great memories.

[@royalkumar795]

Yep 👍

[@Dorian_Scott]

This was one of my favorite Nintendo games as a kid. Still fun to this day.

[@LITTLE1994]

Same.

[@eufetofps]

this game is really fantastic

[@LPetal86]

I shudder to think where we'd be today if _Excitebike_ had never come into existence. Iconic game all around!

[@Dorian_Scott]

Eh. I'd guess we would live in a world with a ton of *_"Wave Race 64"_* clones if this game didn't exist.

[@LPetal86]

@@Dorian_Scott Mm, pretty possible.

[@videotape2959]

What do you think Excitebike brought to the table? I can't really recall a game that was inspired by it. There was a temperature mechanic in the 1980 Atari 2600 game Dragster, and early 80's Motocross for the Intellivision was a motocross game with slopes. You could also design your own tracks. If you want to go older then there were many racing video games made in the 1970's, in fact they are some of the oldest video games you can find. Unless you say that because you really like it, which is fair.

[@LPetal86]

​@@videotape2959 No, my point about _Excitebike_ is that we wouldn't have the entire _Excite_ series of games. I was also just thinking about how Nintendo (and Sega, for that matter) took elements of previous games on prior systems that already existed, polished them up, and put them into one package. You no longer needed to go to the arcade to have a game with bright graphics and music and sound, which is cool in my book. The Atari 2600 was the first console I ever had. Imagine going from that, with a single button and joystick with no music and a very limited color palette, all the way to the Sega Genesis with _Sonic the Hedgehog_! I saw but never actually played _Excitebike_ until its re-release on the 3DS. :)

[@PositiveJ888]

Totally forgot about this game till about 20min ago I was watching a video from 1986 Fao Schwartz and someone was playing this. Immediately my mind said, "EXCITEBIKE!" So I had to look it up and here I am. I remember putting alot of time into this game!

[@royalkumar795]

Wow, this game was my favourite I used to do stunts like Jump to upper screen A to run ,I don't use B , because Engine get hot A+B to faster grab the bike if you got knock out Also , you can make own level with your creativity Ahhh good old days where graphics doesn't matter

[@robertorossi4361]

Haven't seen the game or heard that music for over 30 years, brought back som sweet childhood memories.

[@Chris-tn5pn]

Same here man, as soon as I heard the intro music I was like "oh yeah, there it is". Awesome game. Now where's Mike Tyson's Punch Out?

[@illuminus4420]

Same here friend! At least 30 years. 👍💯

[@therock1599]

This game damn,I remember me & my bro used to play when we were kids it was in a nes catridge (64in1) reminds me of so many memories :') Thanks for uploading.

[@Rumblefan]

bootleg cartridge i see ;)

[@Dorian_Scott]

Best "Black Box" NES game, In my opinion. I love this game.

[@Rumblefan]

It’s up there, but super Mario bros is the best in my opinion. Sure it’s overrated, but there’s a reason it was such a hit and became such an icon.

[@m.mproductions2461]

This will be super *Exciting*

[@Dorian_Scott]

Booo! Puns aren't funny.

[@LITTLE1994]

I remember playing this on a real NES at just age 2. If I recall, it's either this or Rad Racer that was my very first ever experience in a video game. I still have a physical copy, but not the system...yet. It's a fun, simple racing game. Reaching and beating T-5 in B mode is a pain.

[@joemercado7391]

When I played this as a kid you had to qualify for race I'm not seeing the qualifying

I love this game so much nostalgia for it

[@thecunninlynguist]

I had so much fun with the track maker.

[@chadmiller2224]

I was thinking about this earlier and thought I'd look it up and OMG as soon as the intro theme started it was like I traveled back to the 80's again. I never realized how old this already was by the time I got it. I was born in 83 but these games were still wildly popular by the time I was 6 or 7. I loved this and paperboy and Contra, Guerilla warfare ( I remember renting it from a local pharmacy and wondering why there were no Gorillas in it lol ) , Godzilla KOTM was another fave. Tiger Heli.... I could go on and on. I miss childhood lol. Funny thing is Im not into playing retro games but still play on my Series X. It's like my mind says " been there did that." I do love them getting rediscovered by the younger gen though.

[@mattsneed4569]

Great upload Alex. I remembered playing this game a lot when I had my NES.

[@dragonore2009]

Does anyone remember their first video game they ever played? I do, and it's this one, Excitebike, many moons ago.

[@cwc8979]

Love this, brings back so many memories

[@art209ca]

I remember my Dad buying this for our first game, RIP K-Mart

[@janaquary]

I see why my anxiety was so damn high playing this as a kid! Listening to all, these high pitched sounds!🤣

[@DrkTrx]

The temp sound alert 💀

[@erimator17]

My times would be so bad because I was worried about overheating

[@Cowslippoetry]

The very first game I ever played. I still have the cartridge to this day, though my old NES bought the farm over twenty five years ago.

[@LITTLE1994]

Red light of Death that didn't get solved?

[@Cowslippoetry]

@@LITTLE1994 Too long ago to remember, and I was already nestled in the embrace of SNES and Genesis when it happened. Also, living 30+ minutes from the nearest town meant finding a specialist in console repair in the 90s was unlikely.

[@tejasbhagat4444]

The fun in this game was you could also create your own dirt track. 😁

[@DavideGendo]

Like a few other NES games, the first time I saw it was as a Playchoice at an arcade. Not a genre I like but its quality is undeniable.

[@Dorian_Scott]

The *_"Playchoice-10"_* was how I played *_"The Goonies"_* and *_"Goonies 2"_* . The second game sucks, but I still really like the first one to this day. Odd how it didn't get released in the west, though. :(

[@NicCageForPresident2024]

Wow this game brings back memories when I was a kid in the 80s I used to love this game so much

[@beaniegee5129]

Also love that this game is also on the NES Classic Edition too!!

[@ProdbyNaz934]

This is my favorite game of all time, i played it so much even though i was very young.

[@ni-vanfrosty1326]

As a kid I played this on a Chinese ripoff of the NES which was made up of just the controller which was shaped like a N64 controller but ran on AA batteries which you insert where the rumble pak would be lmao. The game ROMs were already built in so all you needed were the batteries and AV cables and you're all set. I didn't realize until I grew older lol

[@susanfit47]

Firs the arcade game, Vs. Excitebike, then this game, Excitebike, for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). I don't have this for the NES yet, but the side-scrolling engine for Excitebike was later used to develop Super Mario Bros. (1985), which had the effect for Mario or Luigi smoothly accelerating from a walk or run, rather than to move at constant speed like an earlier platformers. The same engine that developed Excitebike went to develop a 1985 NES port of side-scrolling beat 'em up platform arcade game Kung-Fu Master (1984) called Kung Fu. The concept of a platformer in which the player can "strategize while scrolling sideways" over long distances, and has colorful backgrounds rather than black. The game came late in 1985, but I discovered this game in 1989. This game is a staple in any NES collection.

[@charlescourtney4402]

I remember getting this game for my birthday when I was a kid.

[@Rumblefan]

I just picked up this game recently. Very fun, can’t believe I haven’t played it before. I always knew what it was, but just never played it until now. Finally got into the rhythm of the game after several crashes figuring it out. Still can’t race against the other people though because I keep crashing into their bikes.

[@imtroublesome]

What a memory, I had this on TV Game👌👌👌👌🏅🏅🏅🏅

[@-jyle-]

My Dad used to love that gangs as a kid And still does he bought it online again lol and now he’s addicted and he dragged me in XD

[@susanfit47]

Excitebike for the NES is from 1985 (copyright says 1984), is based on the arcade game, Vs Excitebike.

[@mamertospower4898]

In the NES Classic Mini the save feature was fixed.

[@black2785]

Good video mate, an absolute classic. I liked the N64 Desert level where the land was infinite

[@TanzDerSchatten]

We used to play this with the sound turned down because it sounded better with some Guns 'n Roses, but it was a lot harder to tell when your engine was about to overheat.

[@adambaker2001]

I think the high temp warning is where my anxiety started as a kid and these lane change sound effects sound a lot like spy hunter...

[@iciouailleurs1977]

a game from my youth that I still play thanks to an application

[@MrVariant]

I'm so glad this and excitebike vs was on nintendo switch online. 3ds was a bit of a mess, though with netplay, I think you can use the track editor to at least play multiplayer though you can't upload. Correct me if wrong. I do accept excitebike 64 and that wiiware version won't ever be ported.

[@NintendoComplete]

I never used the multi-player stuff in the 3ds game, but I loved it for the updated wide-screen format. The WiiWare one was a fantastic throwback too. I'd love to see some sort of updated pack of the 3D games. I mean, why is Excitetruck not on the Switch? It was one of my favorite Wii games!

[@FieldMarshallNey]
