The Excite series debuted as one of Nintendo's earlier franchises, then it lay dormant for many years, before becoming a proudly Wii series.

It's also seen a number of changes - be it from bike, to truck, to crazy morphing animal vehicle things. The dynamic has changed from a linear racer to a full adventure racing title.

To me, Excite will always be Excite Bike. I'd like to see a return ala MegaMan 9 - be it on WiiWare or the DS as a robust title. Am I the only one? Are do you guys like the erratic development the new titles have? (As a note, I love them...they're just not Excite to me).

Another original styled Excitebike would be awesome. Selling it on the DSi Shop Channel would be good, the DSi needs some good WiiWare games.
The closest we've gotten to that is BS Mario Excitebike.
YEAH

Yeah, I agree. I can't imagine the port being hard to do, but it would definitely sell.

I like the series, and I recently got the new game for Wii which is why I'm bumping this thread.

Excitebots was a failure, it only sold 13,000 games. Didn't expect much from it, I never saw an ad for it, online or off.

Really? My email was spammed by Nintendo with Excitebots promos, as well as seeing some posters and stuff.

Nintendo usually puts out TV ads, and I never saw one for this game.

Plus, no one really talked about it, and Nintendo seems to rely a lot on word of mouth advertising.

There was a lot of all of that, except maybe TV ads. Publications, for instance, have been raving and stores pushing the title.

Yeah, the ExciteBots is a little ridiculous in my own opinion.  I remember playing ExciteBike in Animal Crossing.  I thought it was a really fun game, that and Balloon Fight.
