Excitebike - Wata 9.4 A+ Sealed [Rev-A, Round SOQ, UPC Digits Leveled, Mid-Production], NES Nintendo 1985 USA. This copy of Excitebike is tied with one other for the second-highest-graded example of its variant on PSA/Wata's December 2025 population report, out of just 14-an exciting position for such a foundational NES release. The UPC digits are linear, changed from staggered on earlier prints. Developed by Shigeru Miyamoto, with music composed by Akito Nakatsuka, the game was an NES launch title during the test-market era, featuring the black box design. It brought fun and exciting motocross racing to the system with its signature blend of speed, high jumps, and strategic lane-switching. As part of Nintendo's Programmable Series, the game broke the mold at the time for its innovative track editor-a feature that let players create and race on their own custom courses, a rarity in early console gaming.
