Excitebike 64 is a video game published by Nintendo and developed by Left Field Productions. It was initially released in North America on April 30, 2000 for the Nintendo 64 video game console. It was released on the North American Wii U Virtual Console on November 17, 2016. Excitebike 64 review on the nintendo 64. Recorded using an Ultra HDMI modded N64 console with an Elgato game capture HD capture card using a real game cartridge.
The goal is to qualify for the Excitebike championship race by finishing at third place or above in the preliminary challenge race. The times to beat are located on the stadium walls for first place, and in the lower left corner for third place. In any race, the best time is 8 seconds ahead of third place. When the player places first, a message appears: 'It's a new record!'
Additional points are earned by beating the previously-set record time.The player controls the position of the red with the Y-axis of the directional pad, and controls acceleration with the A and B buttons. Using B causes greater acceleration, but also increases the motorcycle's temperature shown as a bar at the bottom of the screen. When the temperature exceeds safe limits the bar becomes full; the player will be immobilized for several seconds while the bike cools down. Driving over an arrow will immediately reduce the bike's temperature.The pitch of the motorcycle's airborne trajectory can be modified with the X-axis of the directional pad: left raises the front, and right lowers the front.
In the air, this rotates the bike, but can also be used to perform wheelies on the ground. Pushing up or down turns the handlebars left or right, respectively, when the bike is on the ground.If the player crashes by colliding with an opponent or ramp, or by landing badly from a jump, the rider is knocked off the bike and lands in the field. Pushing A repeatedly allows the rider to run back to the bike and continue the race.Modes Excitebike has three modes of gameplay. In Selection A, the player races solo. In Selection B, CPU players join the player. They act as another form of obstacle; hitting one from the rear will cause the player to fall off the bike, and any CPU riders hitting the player's rear wheel will cause them to fall off.In Design Mode, the player has the ability to build racing tracks.
The player can choose hills and obstacles of various sizes and place them, represented by the letters A-S. The player can also choose where to finish the lap, and how many laps there are (up to nine).

After it is finished, the player can race the track in either Selection A or Selection B.The Japanese version of the game allows saving the player-created tracks to cassette tape, requiring the peripheral. Since this peripheral was only available in Japan and intended for use with Nintendo's, track saving is effectively unavailable to American and European players even though there are 'save' and 'load' options present within the in-game menus of those versions. The game's English manual states that 'Save and Load menu selections are not operable in this game; they have been programmed in for potential product developments'. These options were removed in the e-Reader version of the game.Unlike, Excitebike was never re-released for the Famicom Disk System in its original form.

Excitebike There are two enhanced versions, both titled Vs. Excitebike.The first version was released for in 1984, after the Famicom release. The game was based around the unit. It is similar to its Famicom Disc System counterpart, though this version has the Design option gone and in the main game there are three difficulty levels (Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced), and there are seven tracks, just like the Famicom Disc System version. This is the original game with the NES version shortening some tracks and rearrangement of track obstacles.
(For example, track 5 is a shorter modified version of the original track 7.) In addition, there is no track editor. The first race is qualifier and has no CPU bikers as obstacles, they appear in the 'race' mode. (In reality you are only racing against the clock. You do not compete with the other riders; they are only there as obstacles.) As in real-life supercross heat races, riders must complete the track in fifth position or higher to advance.The second was released for the peripheral in 1988. While the graphics and core gameplay are still the same, the FDS version has several distinctive features that the NES and arcade versions lack:. The game features a versus mode named 'Vs. Excite', in which two players compete against each other.
The options include the maximum number of rounds to play, the track, and the number of laps for said track. The music is completely different; none of the songs from the original game are present in this version, and a theme is played during gameplay.
