History:
It actually wasn’t until I played Excitebike 64 that I went back for the original. I loved Excitebike 64 actually, and after unlocking the NES game I ended up loving the original just the same.
Expectations:
Well, it’s not the most complicated game. I expect I’ll have a few minutes of fun before getting bored and moving on to Bomberman?
Night 1:
Just like I remembered… The game’s still fun and I played through all the courses in the Selection B mode where you race with CPU assholes opponents in addition to trying to beat the clock.
Liked:
It’s just good old fashioned arcade fun! It’s exactly the kind of game you pick up for a few minutes to have some fun with then put away until the itch resurfaces. The game is simple to learn and rewarding to master.
Disliked:
No battery, so the course editor is useless. Maybe Nintendo will port the Famicom Disk System over to the US soon…
