Beating EVERY N64 Game - Super Robot Wars 64 (89/394)

Known as スーパーロボット大戦64 in Japan. Literally every mecha anime series crammed into one game. It sounds like some hacky fanfiction, but it's a real licensed game.

"This one was easy, it only took 45 minutes" is the essence of the SRW experience, thank you

[@Sumdian]

as a super robot fan, i really appreciate that you and your editor did your due diligence with this game. i don't think anyone would of faulted you for phoning this one in given the sheer size of this game plus the language barrier, but you guys really went for it and did your best to present the campaign to your viewers. thank you for the great video and for documenting this game for future generations of western mecha fans!

[@SleepyRPGsuperCharged]

It’s always so fun when SRW pops up where you don’t expect it. I personally didn’t even know there was one for N64 so this episode totally took me for surprise and I loved it lol.

[@Jack_80]

so far the only one i've started playing is og saga on ds, and it's amazing. you don't fight in mechs like this one, your characters do juggle combos bouncing enemies off the wall. i thought it looked too easy but it's decently challenging. i downloaded every super robot game i could find with a complete english translation, probably at least a dozen on snes, gba, and ds.

[@grimmreaper5349]

@@Jack_80 Btw, Endless Frontier leads into SRW OGs The Moon Dwellers for the PS4, in case you play that one: there's a version in english released only for Asia, and also it's a sequel to the original two SRW OGs, released initially for the Game Boy Advance and remade for the PS2 in a collection of sorts with the two games; they're very much like this one but Definitely more refined, 100% recommend them if SRW's fully original shenanigans are to your liking

[@Jack_80]

just found moon dwellers and a few other srw games in english for ps4 for $40-50. may get it sometime, months from now. now a gaming chair is the next thing on my list, and the next legend of heroes game that comes out in july on ps4. basically a sequel to trails of cold steel 4.

[@Xeno-The-Wanderer]

@@Jack_80 that one has story elements that reference one of the OG games OG2 which did get a release in english but as well it had a remake on playstation that I think has an english patch around. it has a sequel with an english patch that takes some more elements from OG gaiden or OG 2nd (yeah there's 2 2's since OG1&2 were combined to make the remake) then when those are done there's a detour to Project X Zone that's canon which has gameplay melding SRW and Endless Frontier. after all that you go to Moon Dwellers and I think that's the story so far

[@PyroX792]

"I guess they have some history together" is quite the understatement for Char and Amuro heheh

[@surthing6711]

@@njstuckey tell me

[@Xeno-The-Wanderer]

@@surthing6711it is the year 0079 of the universal century, a half century has passed since humanity has sent their burgeoning population into habitats known as space colonies where they would be born and live… and die. Side 3 the cluster of colonies furthest from the earth declared a war of independence against the earth christening themselves the Principality of Zeon. Initial fighting lasted only a month but both sides lost half their respective populations, people were horrified of the atrocities committed in the name of independence. 8 months have passed since the fighting has started… and they are at a stalemate. And that’s only the circumstance behind the meeting of the 2 where Char an ace pilot granted his own ship and troops is investigating the earth federation building their own secret weapon on a civilian space colony. This is where Amuro a civilian who’s the son of the head engineer of the project would take the secret weapon the RX78-2 Gundam to fend off Zeon and it proves too powerful to beat but Char’s skills are too much for Amuro to beat. That starts the chase and various meetings the 2 would have as Char would pursue Amuro and the federation ship he is on along with the colony’s refugees. While Amuro would learn the horrors of war and the courage of soldiers who fight, Char would take the time to take his revenge on the ruling family of Zeon believing them responsible for killing his Father. The character connecting the 2 is Sayla Char’s sister working on the same ship as Amuro and Char still cares for her well-being. The 2 would find another that connects them Lala Soon who is a Newtype, an empath able to connect with people without exchanging words but the war the 2 fight would take her life causing the 2 to break down due to the connection the 2 had with her. The 2 would have a final duel at A Baou Qu and disappear from public life. Char would be with Zeon remnants and help form a new organization to face against the Earth Federation’s cruel task force the Titans and end up taking up a young boy named Kamikle Bidan as a protege seeing potential in him and wants to steer him in a direction better than himself. From here Char would go under the name Quattro Bajeena. Amuro meanwhile is a recluse under house arrest by the federation pulled back into the fighting and joining another anti federation group reuniting with Char and reflecting upon their lives. While uneasy the 2 would work together for the time being. Quattro as Char would make an impassioned speech in front of the federation council and global TV revealing the crimes of the federation’s Independent task force as well as talking of humanity’s place in the universe referring to Newtype theory as humanities future leaving the cradle of earth embracing the stars. Now the final battle with the titans and the true return of Zeon as Neo Zeon occurs where Quattro goes missing and Kamille is rendered in a vegetative state Char would not be seen for almost a decade returning after Neo Zeon’s defeat reorganizing and leading it to force humanity to leave earth by making the surface uninhabitable. Char has lost faith in humanity and believes they must be forced to leave and progress. He sends a new technology to Amuro who has joined a new far more just federation task force organization and wants to have a true final battle to their rivalry. Char has not moved on from Lalah’s death and blames Amuro who’s blade ended her life. Amuro would prevail but the final asteroid that would completely devastate earth has already launched so Amuro would take Char’s cockpit and try to push the asteroid back and though foolish others would follow suit trying their best both federation and Neo Zeon alike pushing the asteroid. The new technology Char sent is one able to take the empathic abilities of new types which Char and Amuro become in 0079 and make it tangible force. The wills of everyone wanting to save earth creates a warm light that creates a true miracle and forces the asteroid back but Amuro and Char would disappear and never be seen again after that moment their legends echoing across history from there on… AND THAT is only the most briefest of summaries of their history

For knowing nothing about the series or the shows, you did really freaking good. Enjoyed the stream VODs too! Sorry that the translation gave you some weird names. Hell, as a SRW veteran, even I have a hard time keeping up with the plot sometimes. That 5th stat... It's fine you don't get it, it's broken anyway.

[@supersexysadie]

I love comments like yours. I think quite a few of these N64 games will have specific fandoms, and it’s really cool that this series has reached some of you. I’m sure Thab was hoping for that outcome. You’re also awesome for sharing it with the rest of your fandom. :) Edit: By the way, I’m just a huge Mario Maker fan who happened to give Thab’s N64 challenge a chance and binged all the episodes. Even though I don’t even like N64 graphics lol.

[@TheRunicBlade]

@@supersexysadie SRW is actually a window into an extremely long running franchise. There was a major content release for the newest one less than a year ago. It's much bigger in Japan, but there's a small but super devoted western fanbase.

[@Quartiano]

[@leeartlee915]

@@supersexysadie Nobody really likes the N64 graphics. We didn’t even back in 1996. After the initial “wow” factor of Mario 64 wore off, we all kinda knew it was janky. I think people were tricked for a little bit longer with the PS1. But I really like the 5th generation because it showed the importance of gameplay over graphics. I’d rather play a game that was fun as hell but looked like dog shit than a beautiful game that put me to sleep.

[@marcosdheleno]

@@leeartlee915 the diference is, if you compare early n64 games with later releases, you wont see much diference. but its 100% not the case with the psx. if you compare something like ff7 with chrono cross for example, its a massive jump in visual quality. and even later games like ff ix or vagrant story were insane lookers. the ease to program made the psx more capable in the long run, even though it was an inferior machine(visual power wise).

Still can't believe you managed to complete this one which took me months of grinding while using guides (to get better power-ups, etc.), skipping main dialog tabs and since I know Japanese, could use "commands" during battles to gain more exp/money, dodge, etc. just like in the Robot Wars series (in Snes for example) Wow! And you are even narrating the story and your experience with this game. Respect

[@ianh1504]

Switching pilots around in mechs is generally pretty important in these games, the games like to put really good pilots in really crappy mechs, at least for their skills. Or that was my experience in the GBA games. In one they put the hands down best pilot in the game in a regular fighter plane and never moves her out of it. But if you put her in a good mech, she turns into an unholy terror that cannot EVER be hit

When you're done doing the N64 challenge, you should make videos where you explain the plot of foreign media in exactly this format

[@lucretius8050]

I haven't finished watching it. There are strategy books for probably all the super robot wars, the francise is indeed still ongoing on Switch, Steam and PS4. I remember there are like treasure spots on most missions where you can get stuff by moving to a spot. Great job for finishing this despite not knowing the language, it is a popular game because of its replayability and long play time makes it value for money as game releases are slower last time.

[@ZappaSlave]

[@briansilva3765]

Mad lad not only put in the effort to beat a strategy Rpg in Japanese, but also to explain his whole journey and this mess of a plot, the hero we don't deserve. Also the plot is a weird mixture of what happens in all those series, but re contextualized, knowing some of these stories it's really funny and awkward seeing how they managed to have the major plot points barely work like this.

[@BassForever]

That's the bread and butter of the SRW series. It gets really funny in games that have multiple post apocalyptic anime trying to justify how they all happened to the same Earth.

[@ToodleDoodle]

The funniest it got was when Code Geass and Gurren Lagann debuted in Z2 and they had to invent a whacked out reason so to why there are two Japans while over in Africa there somehow was an underground society of people that barely knew the surface world.

[@VysetheBattleMaster]

The core problem in SRW stories is that they are trying to cram 15+ different series story paths into one game. There is often SO much going on and SO many characters having a conversation at once during dialogues that it is incredibly easy to get confused and only get a gist of what is actually going on. Sometimes they can make it work well( I believe the alpha series has the most well put together arc) and sometimes it’s just a jumbled up mishmash.

I’m so happy to have another entry in this series to watch. It’s going to take me a few days but I’ll watch it all! Thanks thab and craw for all of your hard work.

[@Penflex12321]

Jesus this is a big one - thank you as always thab!!

[@GodzillaDeuce]

It is here.

[@LTambini96]

In awe at the size of this video, absolute unit

[@threetrenchcoatsinakid7062]

My god, I was an SRW-addict for years, playing dozens of this series from SNES->PS2, but I couldn't stand to finish SRW64. With an emulator and fast-forward. Serious effort.

[@thrillhouse4151]

Wow this game has everyone in it, I really wish these were remastered and translated. Everything makes sense to me, it’s crazy.

[@Trillyana]

This was officially the point where it went from "I'm really impressed you're willing to spend so much time to beat all of these games" to "There is no way in a million years I could have done this and I have nothing but respect for your determination" And this is with me being able to read Japanese. I still couldn't do it. Especially with actually trying to pay attention to the story.

[@IkeSan]

I really enjoyed this video. I love listening to unknown games from Japan and I appreciate how you could get at least one ending. The bruteforcing had to be insane but this is why I have been following your journey since Superman. What It is interesting is how this series is still going when Mecha anime is a niche genre at this time and really not many people are into it at all. Too bad this one doesn't have something like Gunbuster or Macross. Amazing video.

[@strikemist]

Still going on. You can get the latest game on steam

[@oEllery]

Super Robot Wars T has Gunbuster, it has an OFFICIAL english release, and it's really good. Worth checking out!

[@Exlayer-pk8hy]

The devs are aware that Mecha anime is a niche genre nowadays so they've expanded outwards and cover franchises that vaguely fit the mold of the series. Some example of that include Cowboy Bebop, Ultraman, Nadia the secret of blue water and one of the game had some Power rangers pop up.

[@flx3883]

"Who knows if any of these other Japanese exclusive titles will end up being insane like this" Oh, my sweet summer child

[@willmurrin9344]

Dude this is the most insane grind on KZbin. You deserve more views. Keep doing what you're doing, I am sure this series will snowball into something massive.

[@joestanosheck1453]

Thank you for posting your persistent journey. This content is amazing.

[@nayruc.2717]

I watched through the whole thing in one go and I thank you for explaining the lore, playing it and making it entertaining, this is one of the best series on yt for sure!

[@rubykr]

Just wanna say I appreciate the effort you put into making this one work out! Thanks for the video, let's hope the next few aren't quite as massive.

[@FindTheFun]

Lmao hilarious ending when you chose number 146. Nice cherry on the top of the 2 and a half hour sundae.

[@TheJadeknight7]

Yeah the Super Robot Wars games are a ton of fun, but they're pretty long games indeed. Glad you enjoyed it in the end! They're definitely even better when you can read the plot directly, a few of them have translation patches and all the recent entries are officially translated, so you should check them out! Anyway, great video!

[@ericmay560]

I love how you called us out for remembering characters about halfway 😂

[@Jan-oh4fj]

OMG! that was a blast, long, epic, funny, it has everything. Must have been a hell of a hustle to get this video out, but it was worth it. I can't say how much was original story and what you just created to it, but it's genius! Thanks so much Thab and so far the best video of this series!

[@alwaysasn]

Holy shit. The dude delivers. In 2.5 hours I wonder how many movies he'll say he didn't watch.

[@nonamesinspace1291]

Lol this comment 😂

[@jessebh1990]

Appreciate you translating the whole narrative, love these videos

[@CrozzymodoYT]

Kudos to you and the hard work you put in playing this game and making the video. Worth the wait

[@gaetanomartire7605]

Huff, after three painful days I'm finally back on track with my journey to watch every n64 game being beaten. This was a hard one to stay focused on. Glad I did though. Keep up the good work! :*

[@powerfulech0356]

I appreciate the dedication for this video. I'm a big mecha fan and throughly enjoyed your journey thru this lengthy epic.

[@squareone703]

I gotta give you props for your epic narration. You are a champ, keep it up! You are documenting history here, in 100 years people will watch these videos to experience these games.

[@fb1767]

Sorry Thab, I couldn't endure 2 hours straight of mecha lore, had to fast forward to the ending to see the wrap up. Props to you for beating this insane game!

[@kailynx2295]

I binged 70 or so episodes when I first found this series to catch up and began watching the new ones as they released. I needed to watch this one in chunks and ended up dropping it for awhile but I have finally returned and finished it! Absolutely wild to me that out of 89 games played so far this single one took up over 10% of the entire playtime, great video as always and I admire the dedication! Now time to get back into binge mode as I have a bunch of catching up to do again!

[@asiriusworm]

I'd honestly watch a series where you explored other routes as insane as it sounds.

[@kalierdarkekd]

As a longtime fan of the SRW series (And currently started playing UX finally), I'm glad you found Akurasu. Always one of the first resources I show anyone that wants to get into trying the games that lack an english translated release.

[@anthonylombardo1261]

and yet this game is lacking so much on Akurasu, how did he get this much translation from the limited amount of info on the site?

[@chanic4621]

It’s good to be back boys.

[@carl1367]

i cracked up with what your next game is.

[@brendanwilson8977]

This video is so long, I'll find out in a day or two. Very curious now lol

[@carl1367]

@@brendanwilson8977 it's worth the wait
