SRW Hotnews 
What’s with the faceplam? That’s actually a good sales number for a SRW game. And its not like they going to bring it over.
Comment by Bob September 5, 2009 @ 2:32 amEh, considering it’s not a normal SRW game that has no plot related to any of the anime used and doesn’t even use the licensed music…
Comment by Mav September 5, 2009 @ 2:43 amto bob,
I do not 100% know about this, but it seems that SRW Gakuen have “problems” for changing game from strategy RPG into “pokemon style.” I mean, SRW Gakuen is a great game, but problems are possibility “the market” and what SRW fans want to see for the next SRW game. That’s what I look from. Anyway, to everyone (including mr or mrs superrobotwars),news related with this topic. Source:

Comment by judo0054 September 5, 2009 @ 2:49 amIt sold 26000 too many.
Comment by Anonymous September 5, 2009 @ 4:15 amIt’s not an SRW.
Comment by Anonymous September 5, 2009 @ 5:31 amit’s SRG π
Comment by Epsilon_013 September 5, 2009 @ 5:54 amAre They Retards ????????????????????????????
Comment by DevilCrusher September 5, 2009 @ 6:11 amover There are they anything Sold is Loved???
The Game is not Remotly “APPEALING”
I think this is the worst Selling SRW
Comment by Alan September 5, 2009 @ 7:14 amHopefully Neo will be next to that I want
my 2d SRW back ;-;
How could they use G Gundam, GaoGaiGar, Voltron, Virtual On and Gun X Sword and not just make a regular game with it? Just add Nadesico, Macross and Megas XLR and it would be the greatest single Super Robot Wars game ever.
Comment by AnKylo September 5, 2009 @ 7:41 am@AnKylo: Because they wanted to try something different for once? Jesus Christ.
…Well, there was that Link Battler thing, but no one has even heard of that.
Comment by Hiro September 5, 2009 @ 7:51 amNot without a doubt, SRW W and SRW K and Gakuen have been just a train wreck. Z was just meh. But like previous SRW series had good promising series, no “does not make sense” robot series. Gun x Sword was just a bad idea imo, SRW K is a series where the staff read fan mails and ended up bringing the series into it and it was just not good. V-ON is good, but it doesnt have plot as much. Fafner is actually a good series. I have no complaints. Linebarrel would work, but like Code Geass would bring the SRW a horrendous train wreck.
Comment by Aldotsk September 5, 2009 @ 8:56 amPartially, Gakuen is “ok” for those who wanted multiplayers badly for a long time in SRW games. People asked, and that’s what they get. But yeah. Alpha series should be remade from 1 and Gaiden – along with some very classic ones should be remade as well with a bit of additional series.
Comment by Aldotsk September 5, 2009 @ 8:58 am….XO had multiplayer…
Comment by lxs September 5, 2009 @ 9:35 amGakuren seems to be the worst game in SRW franchise ever. I mean, even if it’s trying to become PM style it’s not even paying efforts for that. The game mechanism is just plain broken. I don’t even want to mention the character designs are so……yeah, you get my point.
Probably SRWK is the next worst game.
Comment by BrianGeneral September 5, 2009 @ 11:28 amIt certainly wasn’t the best SRW, but as SRW players I think we should be happy about its good sales, despite the good sales I just hope that Banpresto won’t get into strange ideas in the next 10 years
Comment by Nt01 September 5, 2009 @ 11:57 ami though it would do worst.
the next REGULAR srw game, i think i can put my bet on OG.
Comment by ottoto September 5, 2009 @ 12:17 pmGood sales? Even by a non main SRW title it’s pretty bad, we are talking about numbers in the vicinity of 20k, while others like K/W sold 200k.
Also I’m happy when I see a good game having good sales, not because a game has SRW/FF/DQ in the title. Games that are just trying to milk money and are downright crappy like this, especially carrying the brand of a series I care about? I just hope for it to crash and burn.
Comment by Anonymous September 5, 2009 @ 12:27 pmPeople are already calling SRG the worse SR game? Some people need to play Shin SRW it seems.
Comment by AirMaster September 5, 2009 @ 1:07 pm^I did, but it’s not really that bad except the non-SD spirtes.
Comment by BrianGeneral September 5, 2009 @ 1:46 pmI just don’t see why must SRW have to always be on the top ranking sales, other titles also deserve a shot for the top and that’s why game developers other NamcoBandai would strive harder to make that happen instead of always milking cashes out of idiotic faggots who would even burn down the house out of rage just because their mothers threw away their gunplas. That shows why games made for fans don’t always work because they lack in original personalities and innovations. Worst of all, they were seen as cash-milking machines meant to make cash-cows out faggots even if it means to cheat the hell out of them. Hellya, SRW is truly the obsolete 20 year old rhetoric for 40 year old faggots who can’t keep up with time.
Comment by codename:v September 5, 2009 @ 1:47 pm@judo0054:
Thought the main point any SRW/SRG was the battle animations. From what little else of the game I’ve seen some of the tactical/strategic elements remain.
Comment by Bob September 5, 2009 @ 1:49 pmIn the words of a certain Conservative TV host: “FUCKING THING SUCKS!!!”
Comment by mag4 September 5, 2009 @ 3:45 pm@Bob:
Point of SRW always was and always will be fanservice.Strategy only takes the backseat(especially in the newer relatively cakewalk versions).
Taking out the story and Themes eliminates 2/3 of the fanservice.
Thats not even going onto the questionable quality of what actually is still there(some of the sprites really made me go “GBC much?”).
As somebody already mentioned,I hope this forray into pokemon-territory crashes and burns so they never pull something like that again.
Comment by Raz September 5, 2009 @ 4:37 pmSorry interrupt Short OVA from Gundam Senki
From Wingzeta
Comment by Debris September 5, 2009 @ 5:11 pmlol, how can someone who played Shin not criticize the stupidly long loading times, and the infamous “original” Ryusei, whose character sucked so much (not that he doesn’t suck anyway) that they repackaged it and called him Tenzan in the OGverse.
Comment by Anonymous September 5, 2009 @ 5:46 pmThats a lot of sales for such a weak game, I would have never bought it.
Comment by Keet September 6, 2009 @ 2:07 amNot a single PS3 game on that list. π¦
Comment by Jerry k September 6, 2009 @ 10:42 ammaybe thats because theres not a sign of a PS3 game thats worth to buy yet alone wether it’s SRW related, Gundam, and etc.
Comment by ReinaMK1 September 6, 2009 @ 12:49 pmThe new Gundam game isn’t worth buying?
Really, or do you just own a 360 and being a fanboy?
Comment by Bob September 6, 2009 @ 10:20 pmTo Bob
Comment by ReinaMK1 September 7, 2009 @ 2:06 amI didn’t say not worth buying, but has to be worth buying
“Not a single PS3 game on that list. π¦ ”
Comment by Alan September 7, 2009 @ 4:21 amPS3 isnβt market leader because games development
is hard, needs massive budget but I expect things
to change with PS3 slim and release of FFXIII
and gran turismo this year
Excuse my last post, i suck unlimited nigger cocks and bill gates asshole.
Comment by ReinaMK1 September 7, 2009 @ 6:26 amDam it CV you will quit impersonating me and other other people around here!
To superrobotwarnews
Comment by ReinaMK1 September 7, 2009 @ 9:26 amplease delete comment above me and ban the impersonator with not the same administration as anybody else
i was wondering how much they need to develop a game which uses 30gb space of a blu ray? will they ever used them up?
Comment by duo September 7, 2009 @ 7:42 pm“i was wondering how much they need to develop a game which uses 30gb space of a blu ray? will they ever used them up?”
FFXIII has to be more than 30GB. MGS4 used 50GB. So was Blue Dragon for that matter. Then you’ve got games like Rage and the new crop of open world FPS that are only being hindered by DVDs 7GB cap.
Its not about the space getting maxed out, its that its there in the first place.
Comment by Bob September 7, 2009 @ 10:33 pmI don’t see why everybody’s raging on this game. It’s just an idea that they’re trying out. No raged about OG Saga when it came out and it wasn’t a traditional SRW game.
Comment by Freedom Gundam September 8, 2009 @ 12:44 pmPeople rage because the game sucks, not because it is an alternative SRW.
And I did rage when Mugen’s content, and thus intent was made clear, and as a bonus I even raged when K’s no voice, gba like graphics were revealed, so yeah, I’m a consistent rage machine.
Comment by Anonymous September 8, 2009 @ 1:33 pmHow does it suck? Is the gameplay slow or terrible?
Comment by Freedom Gundam September 9, 2009 @ 12:23 amI think it’s because when you remove the Strategy RPG part of this game, and try to focus solely on seishins, it doesn’t work as well. The systm works best as a Fire Emblem styled system, but doesn’t translate well into a Pokemon styled system.
Comment by Anonymous September 9, 2009 @ 10:27 amThe game doesn’t correspond to what one would expect from a SRW, you don’t control robots, the school setting and character design is more “θγ”γthan “ηγ”, besides the feeling one gets of how they are looking for a quick buck with the reused material.
So, does the game suck? Yes it does, but it does suck even more in the context that it’s being marketed towards the SRW fans.
Comment by Anonymous September 9, 2009 @ 2:47 pmoh i see the space has been maxed out . good. cant wait to see FFXIII then.haha
