''Super Robot Wars 64'' (''Sūpā Robotto Taisen Rokujūyon'') is a strategy role-playing game, released in October 1999 as the first and only traditional ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' title for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64. ''Super Robot Wars 64'' is noteworthy for its SpritePolygonMix, complex branching system, and original mecha that would receive {{Exp|y}}ies in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAdvance''.

While still squarely in the franchise's EarlyInstallmentWeirdness era, ''64'' moves the series forward in subtle ways. Rather than reusing the character creation system from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars4'' and its remake, players choose one of four premade characters separated by gender and mecha "genre". While Universal Century ''Gundam'' is still present and plays a major role in the story, ''Mobile Suit Gundam Wing'' is much more prominent than in previous entries. The heroes start off as [[LaResistance freedom fighters]] attempting to save the world from the rule of the ''Dancouga'' and ''SPT Layzner'' antagonists, rather than a Federation force hamstrung by their superiors. {{Combination Attack}}s are introduced, allowing particular units to perform team-up attacks when placed adjacent to each other.

!Tropes that this game has

to:

In the year After Colony 191, Side 3 declares itself the Principality of Zeon and launches a war of independence against the Earth Federation government. After six months of fighting, the Federation emerges victorious. Unfortunately, things only gets worse from there, as the Muge Empire appears and launches a full scale invasion of Earth. Weakened by the war against Zeon, the Federation is no match for the alien invaders. With their space forces routed and roughly 70% of the Earth's cities burned to the ground, the Federation formally surrenders in December, and humankind is subjugated by Muge.

Now, in the year After Colony 195, humankind begins to fight back...
