I usually go all out in the editing department and try not to show just footage, but I must say there isn't a whole lot I can do with a game that never moves its camera. So the editing might feel a bit more stale than usual. Other than that, I hope you enjoy this nostalgic lookback!

[@theactualfunnylord5307]

Still great video nonetheless!

[@jimbodaboi]

honestly, the minimalistic editing fit this minimalistic game very well so i think the lack of editing adds to the feel of the video

[@sebastianrios9597]

Ayyy do battle for neighborville i know but there is complete edition on switch if you want it is ok to reject but maybe give it one more chance for a review for a complete edition

[@benjaws5263]

Huh, SilokHawk did a very comprehensive video on WiiPlay and he gushed so much about WiiTanks. Guess a lot of people really do love WiiTanks

[@chevylui7659]

theres 100 missions in total sir

[@hectorchisolm]

It's funny because I'm pretty sure Nintendo realized if they DIDNT put tanks as the last game, no one would've bothered unlocking any of the other mini games

[@isavenewspapers8890]

Evidently, the implication here is meant to be that people would get stuck on playing "Tanks!" instead of trying the rest of the minigames. But you didn't say that nobody would've bothered to play the other minigames; you said that nobody would have bothered to unlock the other minigames, as in to play the previous minigame. So funnily enough, this comment actually appears to be a subtle diss, stating that "Tanks!" is apparently so unbearable that nobody would've bothered to even finish a round to unlock the next minigame.

Actually if you played again and went to mission 50 it would've been the same. After mission 20, mission 50 and 100 are the only ones not randomly generated.

I'm pretty sure the camera angle and the lack of see thru ability was more of a deliberate choice than a lack of foresight. It made the yellow tanks and mines that tad bit more dangerous with their relationship to the stage design, and made them a priority target to regain control of the level.
