This would be a single-segment, two-player, no-death run of Wii Play Tanks. I come and ask, is ANYONE even REMOTELY interested in seeing a speed run for Wii Play Tanks? It wouldn't be THAT hard, but we're willing to do it if there's enough people asking for it. we got thinking, WHY don't we speed run the game and submit it? your bullets are limited (there can only be 5 of your bullets on the screen at one time, so you want to conserve a few for defensive purposes), and the fact that they can bounch off walls just opens up more doors for stragery.Īnyway, after a while we got so good at beating it, we joked that we should speed run the game and submit it. It wasn't just "rush the other tanks and shoot as fast as you can". Unlike all the other games on Wii Play (okay, fine, Find that Mii and a few others are fun SOMETIMES.), Tanks is one of those games that had a lot of hidden strategy to it. but for some reason it's just always been fun for us.

You move slowly (and you’ll never get quicker), so it’s the tiny, informed movements that make all the difference. Tanks! is a nervous little game, calling for awareness as much as for precision.
If your ally becomes a scrapheap, it’s best to play defensively. On your own you’ve got a few lives to your name, while dying as a duo means game over. Played alone and played with a friend, Tanks! is a different animal. As of my writing, I’ve only seen it through once). These missions never vary: you’ll learn to never stop moving against the twin green tanks of Mission 5, aspire to go so far as to hear the newly layered music of Mission 12, dread the bouncing hellfire of Mission 17… Faced with these unchanging levels one starts to feel like an arcade-urchin, mastering the ins and outs of each successive level in order to reach the end (there is an end.

Tanks! is essentially based on a series of Atari games by the same name (minus the “s” and the exclamation point). Here’s what makes it a Wii experience worth revisiting. You had to unlock each mini-game sequentially, you see, with passable success in one giving you the keys to the next. Yet Nintendo EAD (the developers behind Wii Play) knew to save the best for last. Even its Fishing mini-game was arguably a bigger hoot than some retail games dedicated to the pastime.
And it was worth it: Wii Play‘s mini-games have more to offer than Wii Sports‘, including a welcome throwback to Duck Hunt along with a few racket sport games and tests of perception. The nine-game collection was an easy sell (and the fourth most purchased game of the console, in fact) seeing as it usually came bundled with an extra Wii Remote. It’s only a mini-game, after all, included in the certainly-not-forgotten Wii Play. It might at first seem an odd choice to include Tanks! in Nintendojo’s list of Wii’s Forgotten Gems.
