Excitebike was one of the more popular games on the NES. It’s no wonder Nintendo wanted to do more with the series, and the N64 was a great platform to try to show off how it could work in 3D. Does Excitebike 64 hold up though?

Those tracks on the Platinum cup look real cool. I never actually unlocked them as a kid.
I always played Sarah Hills, and the announcer excitedly exclaiming that she 'wiped out' or 'ate dirt' are forever scarred on my psyche.
Soccer is one of the most fun multiplayer game on N64
Berns?…Berms
Everything he complains about in the beginning makes it sound amazing to me. I grew up with nes and it sounds like they made the game exactly the same just updated to today's standards. Play the original it's great and to make your own levels. Probably the first game to let you do that.
The desert level looks like a shout out to the pc game Motocross Madness.
Bonus stage could have inspired smugglers run
I’ve been so hyped for this playthrough. I spent many long nights packin dips and twistin grips in excitebike 64 when it came out. I’m 30 now and I swear to god the announcer yelling “Tricky Ricky Stern!!!” Still randomly pops in my head a couple times a year.
I knew this game very late in my life. I would have enjoyed in its time so much. A hidden gem for N64
The ragdoll physics on the bikes and players when they crash are pretty cool for the time.

Hey, THIS IS HOW TAKEDOWNS WORK: if your rear tyre touches someone else's front tyre you take them down; if their rear tyre touches your front tyre you get taken down.
If i don't see "Tricky" Ricky Stern hit a Kobe over the canyon chasm, then i can't even consider this game as being beaten.
Distance also had a soccer mode, and it was pretty fun. They removed it when it became clear that Rocket League had conquered that genre mashup.
JUMPIN JIM RIVERS!!!
Buck Bumble has a soccer multiplayer mode also that's like a terrible version of rocket league, check it out.
Awesome video as always, 10/10!
You've got to play more than that if you're going to get through the 64 in a lifetime ;,..,;
This looks like one of the most solid games I've seen on this challenge so far.
6:00 ohhhh listen turns up volume cuts right to an ad blasting my ears off
you are missing road rash
I hope this series makes Thab a millionaire when it's all said and done!
Nice one, I thought u were gonna like hate it or something, it looks pretty jank
I love this journey.
Conkers bad fur day come on!
come on, you can't tease the cheesy quotes and don't show us some more of them 😀
As always tho, great video and still in love with this series
Man…you sound so depleted of life
Im just siiting here waiting for jet force gemini lol
Yo Thabeast721 when I was a kid I was one of the best players in the world at the game Pokemon Puzzle League.
I was invited onto a Canadian T.V. show in Toronto in the late 90s.
I can't wait to see you try and beat that game.
I was able to consistently do combos up to I believe it was 16 or 17 then the game just shows you a question mark(s).
When I would compete or even face the final bot the system would lag even with the expansion ram.
One time while facing Mewtwo I crashed the game.
After Hard mode you enter a code to unlock very hard and super hard.
You must beat Gary to get to Mewtwo but if you lose vs Mewtwo you'll have to face Gary once more.
Edit: Also the puzzles in that game they give you to solve at the academy get very difficult.
I might have played this as a kid. Is this the game where if you wait by a shack on a desert level for a bit, eventually a UFO files by ???
weird seeing someone play vicky steele and not use the orange on orange color combo. only way i played as a kid
This actually was the 3rd game on the N64 to include a "soccer" mode. Prior to this game you had Buck Bumble and Monster Truck Madness.
I owned all 3.
I'm in the wrong line of work.

Don't forget to hoopenstein that friggin walsh.
MAN I remember the Nintendo Power issue with this cover feature got me so hyped. Loved it as a rental – as a racing game fan, the N64 was fantastic
6:50 Destruction Derby 64 has like, the same announcer. I remember nearing the end of SAT tests and counting down questions in my head…”that’s another one down, FIVE TO GO!!!”
I'm here just waiting for you to face Shadow Man 64
Can't wait for Mischief Makers and Paper Mario 🙌✨
Am I the only one patiently waiting for a Zelda title 😅
I loved this game as a kid. I used to be good at it. The physics felt so good to play.. coming back to it as an adult was like daaaamn this shit is wonky
Og gameboy game with a flashlight to light the screen 🦯 🩼
