Excitebike World Rally Racing To WiiWare November 9

From its classic 8-bit theme song to the high flying jumps, Excitebike is firmly planted in the nostalgia cortex of any gamer raised on Nintendo. Your wistful soft spot is about to get a deep tissue massage with Nintendo’s announcement of Excitebike World Rally, on its way to WiiWare.

The revisiting of the classic franchise closely resembles the original game, appearing in the video to take a 2.5D isometric view of the racing action. Players can create their own courses and even peel out online to test their mettle. Players can also choose to use motion control or simply utilize the Wiimote's buttons.

News of World Rally comes straight from a super corny video on the Wii’s Nintendo Channel. Gamers ready to get excited can look forward to a November 9th release.
