Battle City[a] is a multi-directional shooter video game for the Family Computer produced and published in 1985 by Namco. It is a successor to Namco's 1980 Tank Battalion, and would be succeeded itself by the 1991 Tank Force.[1]
An arcade version for the Nintendo VS. System 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,[2] and would eventually be digitally re-released via the Virtual Console for Wii and Wii U.
Although the Famicom version was never officially released outside Japan, a hack of Battle City named "Tank 1990"[3] was one of the most common inclusions in unofficial famiclone multicarts.[4]
