A beefed-up sequel to Custom Robo: over three hundred parts, fresh abilities, a longer campaign. The combat formula stays at its most addictive and the new options open up genuinely tasty strategies. A tactical-combat benchmark on N64, sadly overlooked outside Japan.

Collector interest

Japanese sequel from December 1999, the culmination of the N64 branch of a series that stayed out of the West on the console. This second entry greatly enriches the parts system and the campaign, but its late run at the end of the Japanese N64 cycle limited distribution. Desirability rests on its role as a non-localised peak, scarcer still than the first entry and essential to anyone documenting the N64 era of Custom Robo.

An underrated gem

This sequel revolutionises nothing but refines everything: over three hundred parts, new abilities and a beefed-up solo mode to assemble the ideal fighter. Japan-only like its predecessor, it slipped entirely under the Western radar. For anyone who loves to optimise, experiment and battle, it's a trove of possibilities worth rediscovering.

Is Custom Robo V2 still worth playing in 2026?

Custom Robo V2 extends Nintendo's formula with new robots, more parts and enriched abilities for even richer holographic arena fights. The heart of the game, the deep customization of Custom Robos, gains in variety and strategic depth, supported by a more fleshed-out adventure mode. The fast clashes stay demanding and rewarding for those who master the combinations. Kept exclusive to Japan, it is the most complete version of this first era of the series, ideal for fans of customizable fighting.
