ABOUT THE GAME

Battle City is a 1985 multidirectional shooter video game developed and published by Namco for the Family Computer. Released only in Japan, it is the sequel to the arcade video game Tank Battalion. An arcade version for the Nintendo VS. System, titled VS. Battle City, would follow, along with a Game Boy version in 1991, which was developed and published by Nova Games. The Famicom version was later included as an unlockable in the Japanese release of Star Fox: Assault, and would eventually be digitally re-released via the Virtual Console for Wii and Wii U. Hamster Corporation released the arcade version as part of their Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on September 12, 2024. Although the Famicom version was never officially released outside Japan, Battle City was one of the most common inclusions in unofficial famiclone multicarts.
