Another big name from the Nintendo 64’s library, Excitebike 64 is officially heading to Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
That’s Excite-ing
Is Excitebike 64 as big a name as some of the other Nintendo 64 games, like Goldeneye, Starfox 64, and Ocarina of Time? That’s likely an emphatic ‘no’, but it’s still a classic of the console, and one that fans haven’t seen in any form in a good long time.
And if you’ve been missing the thrill and chills of racing the game’s muddy tracks, you’ll be happy to know that it’s now a part of the Switch Online + Expansion Pack digital assortment. Well, it will be soon enough anyway, and the title is set to drop onto the service before the end of the month, on August 30th.
Fans who subscribe to the Expansion Pack portion of the Switch’s online service will get the game added to their collection at that point, and can dig in any time they like (as long as they have a subscription). Fans won’t have to bike alone either, as the title will support both offline and online play.
Nintendo press release
From Exhibition Races and Time Trials to even Custom Tracks you can create with banked curves, hairpin turns and whoops, Excitebike 64 packs an entire stadium full of showstopping stunts and oil-charged action into one classic package.

Offering a full Season mode and 20 different tracks to master, along with bonus features like Hill Climb, Stunt mode and even Soccer, Excitebike 64 invites you to become an MX legend.
