3D Classics Excitebike for Nintendo 3DS

About 3D Classics Excitebike for Nintendo 3DS

3D Classics Excitebike rebuilds the beloved NES motocross racer for the 3DS, adding a true sense of depth to its dirt tracks. You race a nimble bike over jumps, mud pits and ramps, leaning back and forth in the air to land cleanly and keep your speed. The presentation keeps the charm of the original while the 3D effect makes every leap feel bigger. It is simple, bright and instantly readable, just like the classic it honors.

Two kinds of fun wait on the track. Selection races pit you against rival riders where a careless landing can send you sprawling, while time trials are pure battles against the clock and your own best lines. The secret is managing your engine heat, since pushing too hard overheats the bike and costs precious seconds. Best of all, the track editor lets you design your own courses, save them and challenge yourself on homemade jumps. Landing long jumps cleanly is the whole art of the game, and the little rider celebration after a record run still feels great decades later.

This remake lives on cartridges and old accounts now. The Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS closed in March 2023, so new digital purchases are no longer possible. A physical copy from a retailer is the honest way to ride today, where you can find one. Riders who bought it digitally before the closure can still access their purchased games on their systems.

A small classic that still delivers big jumps and tight races.
