was this game actually good or do i just have nostalgia goggles?

It's based. For me, it's Milky Way.

It was good.

One of the best mecha games ever and still hopes up to this day.

>>713187461 (OP)
It is certified /fun/

>>713187461 (OP)
great mecha game
action RPG
>collect parts
>select up to like 8x parts to make your mech
>fight in action-combat based on positioning, auto-aim with jank weapons/strats

felt really nice

>beat the main story
>suddenly a whole 2nd story opens up with even more stuff to do
did this blow anyone elses mind at the time?

>>713187461 (OP)
It was fun my favorite game cube game right next to soul calibur 2.

>>713191791
It was a good idea I wish more games went for.

this thing was fucked up

>>713187461 (OP)
Will it be added to NSO??

>>713192262
Probably not because then they have to recognize another abandoned franchise.

Pretty good. You could try to make it again today but the modern audience would optimize out all the fun in an instant.

I miss playing this online.

>>713187461 (OP)
it was good, i've heard people call v2 the height of the series but i've never played b/c no english patch

>>713192389
It has D's download play so I played it with my cousins at sleepovers.

It was a really cool concept that never really took off. Felt the same way about battle network as a kid.

>>713192262
Nintendo let the IP trademark expire.

It really made me wish there was something like this IRL, like a modular gunpla you could use in some kind of sport.

>>713193186
The N64 games are on the Japanese service so make of that what you will

>>713192262
They'll make a remake that's outsourced to wayforward, it'll bomb, and then they'll blame fans and never make another one again

>>713187461 (OP)
It's very good. I also still love the plot twist that came out of nowhere. My only issue with the game having replayed it just a couple years ago is that it is WAY shorter than I remember even with the post game content.

>>713187461 (OP)
My favorite build was one of the fast little guys, with the fist weapon that fired instantly but had 0 range
Just run up and mash B to deal as much damage as possible before the invulnerability kicked in, good times

Was it a worthy successor?

>>713195035
no

>>713187461 (OP)
It's extremely based the story is wild and the end game is tough and loaded with crazy parts and robots. The multiplayer arcade is sick. That's why it's hard to find this game and if you do it's usually $70+

>>713192505
I have a copy of v2 and it's quite easy to play without reading any Japanese. Game self saves every couple battles and you learn the parts fast. Still wish they'd complete the translation the N64 games do have fun goofy stories

>tfw game too obscure to get any good art of this premium hebe
It just ain't fair

>>713189276
>game features Hatsune Miku for no discernable reason

>>713197540
Time to train the AI.

>>713192149
How so?

>>713187461 (OP)
>Parts unlocked extremely slowly via story progression rather than letting the player buy and use whatever they want
It's shit.

>>713187461 (OP)
You could call it poorly balanced but you can't call it unfun

>>713200397
why would you want to break the game? the game story was designed so that you get good parts slowly through out the game

>>713200397
>he hates game progression
Cringe and gay

>>713200580
>game called custom robo
>why would you want to be able to customise your robo?

I played it on the DS not that long ago and holy shit, the soundtrack is soooooooooooooooo bad.

>>713187461 (OP)
Was it actually possible to remake the Rahu 3? I remember using online guides to find most of the parts but couldn't get them all.

>>713189276
I love this game.
I cat wait till it's added to the GameCube line up for switch 2

>>713187461 (OP)
I didn't care for it. I traded it in recently to a game shop and got the board game "Acquire".

>>713191791
It's peak. I haven't seen a good second surprise game in years. Not alternative endings but a ton of content after the credits. Granted I may have missed some, but this game stuck out to me.
>>713187461 (OP)
You're correct. It could probably be improved with quality of life stuff but the original game was tons of weird janky fun.

>>713200794
you can get everything

>>713201529
Nice, I remember some of the parts had crazy hiding spots like the legs were behind the diner counter or something. But I admire that they made the assets and don't keep them away from players. Maybe I'll get an emulator and play again to 100% it.

everything about it and how the story unfolds involving it is unnerving

>>713187461 (OP)
I liked the concept more than the execution. The idea of being able to customize your own fighting machine with unique strengths and weaknesses was attractive on paper, but in execution it just boiled down to equipping the optimal gear and mashing random buttons until your opponent died, plus the arena obstacles hardly mattered since almost every robot could Superman leap over them with no problem.

I'm not trying to be a wet blanket here, just giving my honest thoughts. I had a blast fucking around in this game for hours with friend, though, and making fun of Harry's silly dance animation.

>>713192389
i remember getting stuck on the hide-n-seek mission for the longest time. whoever decided to hide the kid behind the clock is a fucking asshole

>>713187461 (OP)
>>713192389
Man I really need to replay these. I don't think they'll make games like these ever again.

>>713193186
Nintendo still owns the IP, they can still rerelease the game even if they don't own the trademark. They already released the N64 game in JP NSO.

It was good. I left it off somewhere random and then 10 years later, came back and beat it. Game isn’t that hard though the final boss (Zaku III or something I don’t remember) was tough even though it was 3v1.

>>713187461 (OP)
why does that cg intro have guns that aren't in the game and guns that are in the game that look completely different
