Excitebike 64 is a 2000 racing video game developed by Left Field Productions and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64. It is the second installment in the Excite series, acting as a sequel to the 1984 NES game Excitebike, and is the first 3D game in the series. Many real-life dirt bike gear brands are extensively featured throughout the game, such as Bell Helmets, Alpinestars and No Fear.
The game received positive reviews from critics and was later re-released for Wii U via the Virtual Console in 2016 and on the Nintendo Classics service on August 30, 2023 but with the removal of every Fox Racing brand logo. A third game in the series, Excite Truck, was released in 2006 for the Wii.
