Ever wonder why the Excite series hasn't had a new game since 2009? Well what the media won't tell you is that in 2014, the Excitebike racers went on strike because of Nintendo's unfair exploitation of their status as contract workers and in response, Nintendo illegally fired each and every character from the games. Every member of the Mario Kart 8 roster who consciously decided to race on the Excitebike track is a filthy fucking scab.
