Round Up: EVO 2022 Every Nintendo Switch Announcement & MoreĪll The New And Returning Pokémon In Pokémon Scarlet &.
EXCITEBIKE 64 UPDATE
Sega Rolling Out New Update For Sonic Origins, Here's Wha. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC - Release Dat.Ī New Limited-Time Pokémon Sword And Shield Distribution. Honestly if they had just taken Excite Truck and added a slew of standout tracks, fleshed out modes (for instance, a better "crash" mode and/or a royal rumble mode like in Monster Truck Madness), transforming vehicles (because that was too awesome in Bots), and true multiplayer with online + leaderboards I don't know if it could be topped. I like Bots for all the bat-s**t ways they shook up the racing formula, but it was ultimately to the detriment to the ultimate feel of racing, which was second to none in Truck. In effect, Bots diluted the best aspect of Truck, the pure racing that was as solid and dynamic as any other arcade racer I can recall. The sense of speed, impressive crash physics (that encouraged hard-nosed racing), incredible AI, and well-balanced dichotomy between the best racing line and collecting the most stars. Bots added some neat ideas, but those clashed with what made Truck so great. Thu 8th Dec Excite Truck was such a better racing game than Bots, though.
Here's hoping the Switch compels them to better fill out these other genres in an attempt to grow and feed a wider audience. Really, DKR would make for a great Nintendo-style answer to the wave of open world racers currently dominating the shelf). What I wouldn't give for a revival of F-Zero, Waverace, Excite Truck, Cruisin', 1080, or even Diddy Kong Racing (maybe with a more off road vehicle focus other than karts. I know I'm not the first to say so, but it is a real shame that Nintendo is solely focused on Mario Kart (which I love, of course) to the exclusion of any other racing franchises. Thinking about it now, Excite Truck was probably the last one to really nail the feel, then again I consider it among the best ever. Nowadays we're relegated to Mario Kart and generic open world racers that tend to lack the balls-to-the-wall feeling that typifies arcade-style racing games. We didn't know how good we had it with all the arcade racers back then. Thu 8th Dec Right on! Those were the days.It's a challenge, yet an engaging one as the course designs require constant attention from players in a way that feels fair the majority of the time. Expect to try and try again, learning and mastering the courses, and sometimes relying on some strategic wiping out of opponents later on. The tracks alternate form indoor to outdoor each race to keep one's palate cleansed.įirst place is the price to pay to win a season and unlock new courses and difficulties, and it's no instant cakewalk even on the lowest class. The outdoor courses range wildly in atmosphere, from quarries to the Congo, and have a more open, rugged feel shortcuts can also be found in these races. A little over half of these are indoor arena tracks which don't look all that different from each other stylistically, but have varying track layouts and plenty of demands.
Season races are the heart of Excitebike 64, with 20 different tracks to tackle. They don't have much in the way of personality (except for having nicknames like "TRICKY" or "THE VIXEN"), but at least their equipment colours are customizable. A slightly shallow pool of six racers is available for all the game's modes, each with differing stats in cornering ability, jump height, turbo use, and ability to land well.
