Earlier this month, Bandai Namco revealed their next two big releases: 'Super Robot Wars OG "The moon dwellers" ' and 'Super Robot Wars V"! What makes these releases so significant is that they will be released with optional english localization! This is huge news for overseas fans like me who have to play the games memorizing Spirit names and reading online story guides. Not to mention, this is the first mainline game to be released since the 4th Super robot wars in 1995! If this thread makes a good discussion, I might make another about the OG series in depth, but right now lets focus on SRW V. Here is the list of appearing series:
It's clear they are going for a more classic SRW feel by having the original UC trio together once again. Looking forward to seeing ZZ Gundam and its Hypermega cannon blast through mooks again.
REALLY excited for Crossbone Gundam's return to the scene. Tobias and Kincade/Seabook haven't had much exposure since Alpha 2. (SD Gundam doesn't count) And hopefully; ZZ + Crossbone might hint to another Gundam series touched by Yuichi Hasegawa: Victory Gundam.
Shin Mazinger Zero looks pretty awesome. I'm gonna give it a chance and see if it can compare to Mazinkaiser SKL.
They are using Getter Armageddon once again; not that I'm complaining. Maybe its the classic fan in me that misses Akira Kamiya's intensity, I haven't discovered anyone with his level of talent yet.
Here's hoping Evangelion gets properly concluded instead of dropping everything like in Z3.
I remember wondering why they didn't bring in a series with a battleship as its icon unit. Pretty sure the Yamato will be the 'Mothership' of this game.
Not too many debut series this time and it looks like they will be just reusing the Z3 engine. I'm not really a big fan of the battle orientation though. The constantly panning camera used to distract me and I felt it was just a trick to create complex motion while using only one sprite motion. SRW Alpha 3 came out in 2005, and it's animations haven't aged at all.
Anyway, What are you're thoughts? Are there any fellow SRW players reading this now? Have I intrigued the interest of some curious soul? Let me know!
