Excitebike 64 Comes to Nintendo Switch Online Next Week [IGN]

Excitebike 64 is the latest game to join the Nintendo Switch Online N64 library, hitting the subscription service on August 30.

A totally rad trailer for the 23 year old game was release on Nintendo’s YouTube showing the fast and furious motocross gameplay.

“How long has it been since you’ve carved a blaze of glory through a pack of dirt, slinging mud into the air as you pull off incredible stunts on a motocross bike?,” asked Nintendo. “If the answer is ‘too long,’ you won’t have to wait to experience these thrills again, because Excitebike 64 roars onto the Nintendo 64 Nintendo Switch Online library on August 30.”

The game will be available at no extra cost to users who have a Nintendo Switch Online membership and have purchased the Expansion Pass as part of the N64 library.

Excitebike 64 will be the 25th N64 game to hit the service, joining other classics including The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Pokémon Stadium, GoldenEye 007, and more.

In our 9/10 review from 2000, IGN said: “Excitebike 64 not only lives up to the classic it was inspired by, it takes it all to the next level with a fantastic 3D engine and tons of options.”
