Is Mach Rider still worth playing in 2026?

A futuristic racing game from Nintendo, Mach Rider has you ride a motorbike across post apocalyptic roads where you must dodge obstacles and gun down enemies while speeding along. The blend of racing and shooting, the sense of speed and the track editor novel for its day make it a singular title in the NES launch catalogue. The stiff handling has aged. For a fan of retro racing or someone curious about early Nintendo games, the title keeps a historical character and a snappy energy.
