This is a game I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't rereleased until the Switch Online. Granted I'm not familiar with V2 so maybe that's just this but better but what is here is a really fun time. It's a cool arena mech fighting game.
There's also a story mode here but sadly I had to use a guide to know where to go because it's all in japanese. I know there's a fan translation but I don't even know if this game is emulated good and I don't have a way to play it on real hardware. It does seem fun though from what I read on the guide that kind of gives a shorten version of what's going on.
There's also an arcade mode where I learned how fun it is to just camp the opponents. So if you ever face me assuming this has multiplayer, you will get camped. I will never approach you. Yes I know I'm lame.
The game hasn't aged graphically at all especially the overworld stuff, it's very ugly but it's not a deal breaker. The music however is some good stuff and while it's not amazing, it's still enjoyable.
If you have the overpriced switch online then give it a try because it's a very fun game. Shame we never got this one, I'm hoping V2 is fun as it seems to have a 2 v 2 mode according to one review on this site. I'll probably play it next year. Seriously though why was this not brought here? Would people not find this appealing here?

Oh interesting, nice to see it works decent enough on emulation. I rarely hear much about N64 emulation in general so that was a pleasant surprise.
N64 emulation has been making some nice strides over the years, at this point I think it can be user-friendly enough for people that aren't too in-depth about the whole thing. The three emulators I mentioned are pretty much the go-tos, and I hear Parallel Launcher's also really good
I recommend looking into the emulation gametechwiki page if you're curious about more, it's a good site to find details about all sorts of manner in regards to emulation

As for why it didn't get an international release, I'm unsure. It's not like the system was becoming unpopular during 1999, plus it could easily cash in on that toy craze that was becoming popular. It took until the Gamecube entry for it to get localized, then its DS sequel after. It's perplexing, say the least.
