At this point, Monster Games should just change its name to the Excite Company. After creating Excitetruck and Excitebots on the Nintendo Wii, Monster Games's third project for the console is a remake of the game that inspired the company's first two titles: Excitebike. The classic Nintendo Entertainment System and arcade game is making a return to the scene in an updated rendition called Excitebike World Rally, and it will see a release on the Wii Shop Channel on November 9th.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "This past week, Nintendo announced that after more of a decade they would be shutting down the Wii Shop Channel. Many gamers (myself included) have found memories of taking our Wii consoles online, putting in our Wii Point Card numbers and downloading a whole bunch of classic Nintendo, Sega and NEC titles onto the Wii system. But the Wii Shop Channel was also home to a whole catalogue of new games that made up the system’s WiiWare service. It was here that many of the system’s smaller and more experimental titles came into being and many of the developers that brought us these games are now responsible for big indie series’ thanks to their original success on WiiWare. So as a sort of goodbye to Nintendo’s original download service, we’re counting down the Top 20 Best WiiWare games starting with numbers 20 through 11 today (check back next Friday for 10 -1)."

The new wheelie and crash-to-cool-off game mechanics will make for some interesting online matches.
I hope Nintendo does this type of vintage update thing with some of their other games. I'd buy an old school, top down Zelda with improved visuals to make the wait tolerable for the next console LoZ.
