Nintendo of America has tweeted that Vs Excitebike will be available to download on the North American eShop tomorrow. The company thanked those who participated in Builders Week which saw players attempt challenges in a variety of games including Mario vs Donkey Kong Tipping Stars and Pushmo. Vs Excitebike contains remixed music, 2 player modes and also includes the ability to save created courses. It was originally released on the NES in 1988.
When I saw the header image I thought it was some next gen Excitebike. I’d love a 3D Excitebike to look like that, though.
I was going to say something similar, it would be an excellent way to revive the game and make it more realistic but keep the block art style. I love moto racing games, Excite Bike 64 anyone?
Nintendo is too dumb to had thought of this when they decided to put this on the virtual console.
