This new game for the Wii ware is looking like a remake. It's not but it is a lot like the original Excitebike game. I have not played it yet but it looks like fun. I am a big fan of the original Excitebike for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Some reviews are saying it is good, but not great.

See, it just feels like to me that this would make a better iTunes App or cheap DS download than a full fledged console game. It was good on the NES, but come on, it just doesn't hold up in terms of complexity or gameplay than some of the other remade classics on the system.
I love the original Excitebike, but I'll most likely never play this and wish that it didn't exist.
I would play this if it was free but I'm not sure I'd bother to pay for it.
