Yeah with the amount of copies that these games sell it probably isn't worth the development time to move it to the PS4. The increased sales probably wouldn't amount to enough.

Furthermore: how many systems would they want to smear the Z series across? You already need at least 3 different consoles to play the ones we already have (OK, 2 if you have a launch JP PS3). Making Z3.2 a PS4 exclusive would be really obnoxious.

The original Z is a PS2 Classic, so you don't need PS2 hardware unless you already had the disc. We've been wondering if Z2 is going to get an HD version or something like that for ages, but I feel like the time for that would have been when Z went up before Z3 (at which time Z2 was simply rereleased as Best Of on sale).

I could see a Z Remastered once Z3 is out and they can recycle a bunch of its sprites for Z1 and Z2 stuff.

That would be fine with me. With a PS4 version of EDF and Persona confirmed, SRW is the last franchise that needs to move on before I start thinking about retiring my PS3.

I sure hope it at least retains a PS3 version for Z3.2. I have nowhere near enough money to spring for a PS4 or Vita at the moment, and it'd be obnoxious to miss out on the conclusion of a 5-game series because of it.

If they release a game for Vita the ease of cross porting makes it really unlikely they wouldn't just throw out a PS3 port as well just for the additional sales, especially given Banpresto's notoriously glacial adoption of new technology.

I meant that Kingdom Hearts entire game collection is canon and referenced in the next game. KH went from ps2, GBA, ps2, mobile, DS, PSP, 3DS, and eventually PS4.

Or if you go just by re-releases to simplify it, ps2, ps2, ps3, ps3, ps4.

As much as I would love for Lagrange to be in the game, that's a big part of the backstory of at least 14 different shows, including Idolmaster: Xenoglossia.

Oh my God Xenoglossia :swoon: why did I forget this series existed for so long? If I could get the Idolm@ster girls in a SRW game I would buy a new console just to play that game.

While we're asking for unrealistic inclusions I'd also like to ask for Galaxy Angel, thanks.

ooo and Magic Knight Rayearth. Could you imagine an SRW with the Idolm@ster girls, the Angels and CLAMP characters in it? All the mecha fans would... quickly put it back on the shelf and not buy it. But I'd buy it! And that has to count for something.

As long as we're talking crazy talk, I want Redline. Most of the drivers would have a normal array of weapons, but JP's only attack would be to drive past the enemy so fast that they get distracted and crash.

edit: better yet, he could be another Basara and all of his attacks cause negative status effects from confusion/disbelief at crazy car tricks.

The first time I watched Xenoglossia I didn't get very far into it and it was before I had played any Idolm@ster game, but now that I'm going back and watching it's weird how half the characters are the exact same as their video game versions and the other half are completely different.

Also let's continue to play the 'it's never going to get in but man if it did...' game: Dual!, Sakura Wars and Vandread.

Edit: And Danbooru Senki. I'm really surprised they haven't already done this, especially for the 3DS SRW. Danbooru Senki has tons of figures to sell. Level 5 needs to get in on some of these sweet sweet crossovers. I was really wanting them to get a character in Smash Brothers too, but I'd settle for getting some robots into an SRW game.

V If we can get Western series in there I want Mechwarrior and Battletech.

Honestly, not really anymore unless it is something that can't be in for license reasons like Giant Robo. When Hatsune Miku and Sgt. Frog have gotten in, I think it's safe to assume they'll find a way to make anything work.

Time for them to branch out from Robots and make it SF Wars. Stellvia, LoGH, Crest of the Stars, Nadia, Toward the Terra. They could just come up with customizable original mechs to put characters in who don't naturally have mechs in their series. They could have a big storyline about the Abh showing up and have the game story split between supporting the Abh or fighting for Earth's independence. No I haven't been coming up with weird fanfiction plots for imaginary SRW games shut up.

The only thing off the table are series whose creators have stated they would never give Bamco the licenses like Sakura Wars or Rayearth.

Did UX use the anime version of Demonbane? Because if they used the game version then Muv-Luv Alternative has a shot.

It said it used the anime version, but I think it had a VN-exlusive bit or two. Still probably not Muv-Luv.

Don't worry, in terms of fanfiction plots for imaginary SRW games, that's relatively tame.

CLAMP gives off the vibe of never giving any of their stuff to anyone. They've never been in any non-fanmade crossovers, except internal stuff where they crossover their own works. Actually I guess that'd be the main problem; if you get one CLAMP series you have to get them all since they're all tied together in the weirdest ways possible.

If the choice is between no Muv Luv and Total Eclipse I'd rather it just not be in SRW. The VN itself has some problems it'd need to address like all of extra and how unlimited fits in, not to mention if it follow the plot it's gonna end up taking a top tier real pilot like Takeru and stick him in a Super Robot Susanoo right near the end. Other than that though it could fit very well there's good unit progression Fubuki > Shiranui > Takemikaduchi > Susanoo and the Valkyries fit pretty easily into SRW archtypes sniper,healer,leader,ace and so on. The Susanoo would also wreck poo poo seeing as it's basically a three pilot nadesico with a shitload of guns and a pilot that almost certainly would have a reduced price love spirit.

Sakura Wars appeared in Project X Zone. It's sort of hard to imagine they'd go "never to you!!" when it was in a game with several SRW characters already.
