God, if there was a way to mod this game (make the multiplayer gamemodes more robust, have team colors from the campaign and just make tank wars last MUCh longer than three minutes with gamemode customization cuz i wanna go an hour straight of tankwars), or give it the sequel it deserved to get out of that campy cliffhanger, this series would be complete. It's the best arcade vehicle combat game i EVER played and I can imagine World of Tanks having an arcade mode that feels like this gameplay-feel-wise.
THANK YOU!!! I've mentioned the world of tanks arcade mode to my friends before, and everyone looks at me like I'm stupid 🤣. I'm glad someone else sees it! This game feels sooooo good and has aged beautifully.
"God, if there was a way to mod this game (make the multiplayer gamemodes more robust, have team colors from the campaign and just make tank wars last MUCh longer than three minutes with gamemode customization cuz i wanna go an hour straight of tankwars)," I'm sure at this point a quality of life Rom hack could be done for the N64 version, but unfortunately it hasn't been done. There is 3rd game in the game's universe for the PS1 and PS2 called World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks, it's a decent arena vehicle combat game.
I've never really gotten into the ps1 version, always n64, its what I grew up on. I still have fond memories of it and still enjoy playing it to this day, most campaign as I never have anyone to play with. I'll have to try the ps1 version and give it a fair shot. If there is more content in it and having two sticks to move and turn separately thats great. I do wish they' remake this game or something similar. I've always searched and never quite found something that captured the entirety of what this game was. The setting, the combat, the variety of tanks, the campaign, everything was just great. I miss 3DO honestly. They had some good shit.
Yeah the n64 version is an absolute classic tbh, severely underrated and overlooked. I sorta just quickly glossed over the ps1 version for this video since it wasn't the focus, but I'll have to dive back into it sometime. Back when cross platform games were pretty different from one another lol. Thanks for watching!
This game is so amazing! I honestly didn’t think anybody remembered these games. Thank you so much for this awesome retrospective. I haven’t heard anybody else talk about this absolute gem of a game and I didn’t know about the PS1 differences. Such good memories and hundreds of hours sunk into the campaign and multiplayer on N64! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this man. You definitely earned the subscription.
8:35 patience and placement, get near it enough that it might TP you there, but not too close but it works sometimes. I'm also making a spiritual successor and would like you here your opinions on what I'm making so that it does not get attacked by nostalgia because it's now the same.
If you have any ideas to put in a spiritual successor, what would it be and what improvements would you like, also what new Tanx would you like to see.
I remember this game in the rental store, but I never got to play it. Too bad, I wish I could've done that in hindsight. I'll be looking forward to more N64 reviews.
I remember renting this for the N64 and my best friend and I playing the split screen a bunch, and sometimes we'd go around hoarding nukes and at random one of us would yell "atomic picnic!" and we'd just spam em all into the middle of the map lol
9:10 There's alternate uses but it's dependent on your ammo as well. Grenades can be turned into giant grenades, teleporter will teleport you multiple times like something from dragon Ball z, small buddy guns I think they are called can be turned into Giant buddy/ turrets. I don't think the game ever tells you this.
Teleporter for Global Assault, the super Teleports the enemies by chasing them and when in contact with that portal will TP them off the map for a few seconds then TPs them back in a random location.
My sister and I have played the campaign in co-op every Thanksgiving since I got it in 2000. We have gotten so efficient we can complete the story mode in under an hour. Good memories.
Man I remember playing this game I just don't remember if it was the newer one I was suuuuper young I just remember it was a blast to play at my cousins house
Great recap man. I was 10 when the first one came out and I fell in love. I have an autistic cousin who played the second battle tanks for 5 years straight and refused to let anyone take it out of his n64 😂
Nice review, Battletanx Global Assault was always a go to for my brother and I. Played the campaign many times, and spent waaaaaay too many hours playing multiplayer.
Oh man, this game, this freaking game man. So a few months ago I was hit with a nostalgia bomb for a tank game i played with a few friends in elementary school. As It was my friends game, I didn't own it, so I had no idea what the name was, and I was unsure if it was a N64 or SNES game. Shockingly googling "N64 Tank Game," doesn't show much. But man, so many memories playing this and Perfect Dark with school friends in the 90's. Tank Wars was such a fun mode. Great times. Thanks for uploading this, so I could stop looking for the game.
Loved reading your story man, thanks for sharing it. Me and my friends and my dad would play this for hours, all huddled around a 19" tube TV killing each other and screen peeking haha. Really fun game and I hope it gets a re-release soon.
I am glad to see someone on the internet talk about this game. BT:GA is genuinely one of my favorite multiplayer games ever and a crowd favorite whenever I bring my N64 to events. One of the best aspects (and most unexpected) of this game is the game feel. In an era where even fan favorites felt like sloths moving through quick sand (try playing Goldeneye in 2023) the tanks all feel buttery smooth, and even smaller aspects like the sheer impact of from firing. It's a miracle the game feels as good as it does now with the growing pains every other series was going through. I seriously hope we get a rerelease or even a remaster someday. Any improvements (like dual stick functionality) would be appreciated but BT:GA is solid enough to work nowadays. (outside of that delightfully 90s story LOL)
The story is absolutely ridiculous, but that's why we love it! 🤣. The game has aged wonderfully and I'm holding out hope that someday it sees a re-release.
ive been wondring about a remaster for this and the first game for YEARS, but sadly when 3DO dissolved the copyrights were very scattered, from research apparently nobody even knows who owns the right to the battletanx franchise :/
@NoMooreMercyTV fun trick. Flip it and quickly switch to your Goliath. The tank will remain in a partial flip state, and if you're lucky, you'll have your flames still visible
@@NoMooreMercyTV I liked it a lot, I wasn't sure how the difficulty would play out since it can greatly vary on the N64 so I played it on easy. I restarted once I was 10 or so levels in because it took until then for me to have a better grasp on the upgrades and everything. I'd love a more modern version of this kind of game!
@@NoMooreMercyTV I bet! I do think that I will always love them both for different reasons. Speaking of, did you know that if you went into the settings and changed the controls to arcade, the tank would control like the one from Global assault? And the code LTSLTSGNGS would let you choose a faction in the campaign? You could play the campaign as the nuclear knights. Trivialize the entire campaign. This game reminds me of The House of the Dead so much. Not gameplay-wise, but more that not many people talk about it anymore. Makes me sad, really
As a long-time BattleTanx player, I've honestly found myself disliking the PS1 version a lot. It feels slower, the graphics (as a PS1 title in general) have not stood the test of time, especially with the cheap feel of the fire effects, and as you mentioned, the view and frame rate isn't very good. The Nintendo 64 version will remain my favorite. But.. have you ever tried the Gameboy version? xd

I played a ton of this game as a kid. I loved playing against AI using the custom army cheat codes that gave you a unique mix of vehicles.

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed! This game is soooo good, would love to see an HD release sometime!

I still remember a glitch with the small fast tanks that would fling you into the air and you could go outta bounds
I always loved ramping off the bumps with turbo lol. The lil mototank would freak out if you hit objects mid air
@@NoMooreMercyTV dude you got it ... nuke deployed
I remember this game in the rental store, but I never got to play it. Too bad, I wish I could've done that in hindsight. I'll be looking forward to more N64 reviews.
At least you can play it now! It's still a phenomenal game.
I remember renting this for the N64 and my best friend and I playing the split screen a bunch, and sometimes we'd go around hoarding nukes and at random one of us would yell "atomic picnic!" and we'd just spam em all into the middle of the map lol
What a throwback, long summers playing multiplayer with my cousin at my grandma's house
This game is criminally underrated. It's too bad it was overshadowed by everything else when it came out.
Absolutely 100%. This game rivals some of the best games on the n64.
9:10

Knowing these old games, it's probably somewhere in the manual... Which I don't have anymore. 😅

Under an hour?! Impressive!
My dude no one ever talk about this,brought my child hood back
Right?! It's soooo underrated!
When I was 12 years old I used to rent this from Blockbuster and then smoke weed and spend all weekend playing
Flip tank is my go to. I would use the c buttons to strafe with it and dodge incoming shots.
It's goated
Man I remember playing this game I just don't remember if it was the newer one I was suuuuper young I just remember it was a blast to play at my cousins house
Such a classic, it still holds up today too!
Great recap man. I was 10 when the first one came out and I fell in love. I have an autistic cousin who played the second battle tanks for 5 years straight and refused to let anyone take it out of his n64 😂
My dad still plays this game almost everyday and it's been that way for 20 years. 😂
Nice review, Battletanx Global Assault was always a go to for my brother and I. Played the campaign many times, and spent waaaaaay too many hours playing multiplayer.
Me and my dad would stay up til 5 in the morning playing this, I miss those days.

Putting on infinite grenades or nukes was the best way to play this game in co-op battle
Dude, so much time spent playing tank wars, it was fantastic!
It's STILL excellent!
Loved the flippy tank
Same! I loved balancing it on it's side by pressing the c buttons over and over lol.
@NoMooreMercyTV fun trick. Flip it and quickly switch to your Goliath. The tank will remain in a partial flip state, and if you're lucky, you'll have your flames still visible
@@millerlite9759 haha didnt know about that one
About to start this game for the first time now, excited to give it a go!
Let me know what you think! My only problem with it is it's too short, as in, I want more damnit!

@@ObstacleRunningAdventures glad you liked it!
You have talent. Great video. Very nostalgic
Thank you so much for your kind words!
My N64 controller Joystick was broken
I couldnt play any other games except battle tanks and Quake 2.
So you can say I grew up only playing those 2
Hey, you grew up with two badass games then.
Even without joystick I could play both in hard mode plus without reducing health or dieing.
I was so good at those games
Impressive! Quake especially, I always sucked at n64 shooters. Turok, quake, doom, didn't matter lol
I freaking love this game
Same!!!!
@@NoMooreMercyTV I've only played the first (my dad still has it with his N64) but the second one looks sooooo good
@Tis-I bro you gotta check the second one out, it's a huge improvement!

I have not! I saw the gameplay, it looked pretty dull so I didn't bother mentioning it.
@@NoMooreMercyTV It's painful, but the music is actually done fairly well for a gameboy title.
@@Gamefreak924 I'll have to check out the OST then! Thanks for the heads up.
Wait there’s a GB version?!
Great game, and video
Thank you!
