Cowboy Bebop? That's odd. A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

And it has GGG. We all know who'll inevitably sperg over that.

 

[Tranhuviya]

I swear to god, if Bandai pull a New Gundam Breaker on this one...

T? They're running out of letters.

T? They're running out of letters.

They should fight these guys for the letter T if they want to continue using the letter T first:

I had heard rumors about it, but , interesting cast list.

In fact, here's the full list:

• Invincible Robo Trider G7
• Aura Battler Dunbine
• New Story of Aura Battler Dunbine
• Mobile Suit Gundam
• Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ
• Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack
• Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack – Beltorchika’s Children*
• Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam
• Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Skull Heart*
• Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Steel 7*
• Mobile Fighter G Gundam
• Armored Trooper Votoms
• Armored Trooper Votoms: The Last Red Shoulder*
• Armored Trooper Votoms: Big Battle
• The Brave Express Might Gaine
• The King of Braves GaoGaiGar
• Cowboy Bebop (New)
• Gunbuster
• Martian Successor Nadesico: The Motion Picture – Prince of Darkness
• Getter Robo Armageddon
• Mazinger Z: Infinity
• Arcadia of My Youth: Endless Orbit SSX (New)
• Magic Knight Rayearth (New)
• Gun X Sword
• Expelled from Paradise (New)

Arcadia of My Youth: Endless Orbit SSX - Okay, this will be interesting. It's basically alternate universe Captain Harlock, and it features Earth under occupation.

Magic Knight Rayearth: Definitely following manga continuity if they use this.

Expelled from Paradise: Curious choice, this one. I can see it working nicely enough with Cowboy Bebop, though.

Cowboy Bebop: I not exactly sure how well the mecha side of things will slot into an SRW game, it wasn't exactly a major focus of the show. Unlike Uchuu Senkan Yamato, which had enough mecha presence it seemed plausible, I predict this will have a supporting role in the plot, unless they plan to mass rewrite the original canon.

Mazinger Z: Infinity: This has a future timeline/AU twist on Mazinger going, and given all the other series I predict it's going to the part of the impetus for this game having a similar theme.

As for the other stuff:

Trider is likely getting in minus it's own plot again, possibly Might Gaine too. Aura Battler Dunbine is definitely gonna have some connection to Rayearth, both have the whole mystical world of magic power mecha theme. Most of the other series are definitely good for an apocalyptia theme or with a heavier emphasis on space, so I'm pretty sure Earth is gonna look pretty jacked up at the start.

Overall, it looks like a possible, more sensible recycling of what they tried with SRW K, and if so, I hope the writers do a far better job, but they learned for the most part since then, so I'm interested to see where they go with this.

Expelled from Paradise: Curious choice, this one. I can see it working nicely enough with Cowboy Bebop, though.

Agree, both share the "earth is a wasteland" scenario, still they probably want to add the things from the Light novel, not expecting anything good because the butcher got bored and now only works for netflix and taiwaneses guys

Cowboy Bebop: I not exactly sure how well the mecha side of things will slot into an SRW game, it wasn't exactly a major focus of the the show. Unlike Uchuu Senkan Yamato, which had enough mecha presence it seemed plausible, I predict this will have a supporting role in the plot, unless they plan to mass rewrite the original canon.

20 bucks that they go with the Cross Ange approach aka "they got into the mess by accident and decide to work with the one that pay the most", same crap that they shoehorned in X when they did not know what to do, also expect they having the 4 units that appear in the show, (Bebop,Swordfish,Hammerhead and Red Tail) and Ed to have the same skill that Ruri has

Edit: one of my friends in IRC told me "expect them to play like Orguss/Valkyries or if you want to be picky that ugly ship that was in Gundam SEED"

Arcadia of My Youth: Endless Orbit SSX - Okay, this will be interesting. It's basically alternate universe Captain Harlock, and it features Earth under occupation.

Not surprised considering how much people liked Yamato in V i was expecting it earlier honestly, the addition of Nadia in X was more weird to me

Mazinger Z: Infinity: This has a future timeline/AU twist on Mazinger going, and given all the other series I predict it's going to the part of the impetus for this game having a similar theme.

Found amazing that they put Infinity this fast considering how much time they took to put ZERO but well considering that ZERO is very obscure for the international fandom (ZERO was released in a manga that was never released in america but Infinity has a worldwide premiere) it was to be expected

Magic Knight Rayearth: Definitely following manga continuity if they use this.

Insert rant about how lazy CLAMP is for everything

Im more glad that GaoGaiGar and G Gundam is back, time to punch, kick and hammer everyone to oblivion AND NO CROSS ANGE THANK GOD

And no, for the initiate in Super robot taisen Gun X Sword is not new,it was in Super robot taisen k for the DS

Also the recent wanking of the Hi-Nu Gundam and Crossbone, are you going to finally animate Bertorchika children and Crossbone Sunrise?

Super Robot Taisen V, X and if iirc OG Moon Dwellers come with english translation but you need to import it

Bit of a caveat on the last one, only the PS4 version has English translation from what I'm aware.

Since Cowboy Bebop is here and considering this is SRW:

Spoiler

Could this mean this game could potentially prevent Spike from dying?

 

[Antique Rice]

They'll probably do it up like the Movie / Knockin on Heaven's Door and crowbar it into the middle of the story without changing what comes after. I can't imagine them just undoing the ending for the show.

 

[PS1gamenwatch]

There's also the Cowboy Bebop manga, maybe they can incorporate some of those stories into the game?

Yeah, almost certainly.

Spoiler: Spoiler

Probably and would not be the first time, in Z i think they manage to save Lelouch from Code geass from dying because apparently he was dead for good but Sunrise decide to milk him for more money , put the hilarious in hindsight there because apparently banpresto did not know about Lelouch of the resurrection until much later i think in V you could even save Marida from Unicorn, i mean the games are famous for fixing the terrible disaster that was gundam seed

 

[Stay safe]

Personally, I'm more excited for SRW DD. I never thought Devilman would get in and I'm so glad I was wrong.

Considering how they've been stretching the definition of mecha to nonexistence and the games are so awesome no one cares, hell with it, Devilman for the win.

I think Mazinger got in this fast because it's just a movie. Contrast an entire series that they need not only as much content as they can, but they usually have to deal with additional content [like the movie being a sequel or directly connected to the series a la Eureka Seven].

Also, Mazinger variants maybe take less time as a whole. The Mazinkaiser series was 2002 and showed up in 2004's GC, Ankoku Daishogun was 2003 and showed up in 2005's GC, and SKL was 2010 and debuted in 2013's L.

As an alternative, maybe we're getting it just like Mazinkaiser last time; more units and less plot.
