Custom Robo V2 is a robot action RPG released by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 in 2000. As a sequel to Custom Robo, it retains the core gameplay of its predecessor while adding improvements and expansions across multiple areas.
In the game, players take on the role of a "commander" who controls a roughly 30-centimeter-tall small robot called a Custom Robo, and embark on adventures with friends. The main goal is to complete the story by collecting every Robo, battle parts, and other items, while winning every battle to advance character development and the plot.
Gameplay is split into two main parts: the overworld and Robo battles. Players can control a character in a free-roaming world, with other characters following along. The core objective remains collecting all Robos, battle components, and items to progress through the story, and winning battles to drive character and narrative growth.
Custom Robo V2 supports up to four players at once. Players can gather with friends using a single console, or battle friends online. Additionally, the game offers extensive customization options, allowing players to mix and match different robot parts to create unique battle machines.
On July 15, 2022, Nintendo announced that both Custom Robo and Custom Robo V2 would be added to the Nintendo 64 game library for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members in Japan. Players can enjoy these two classic games by subscribing to Nintendo's premium membership service.
