Wasn't very interested in the new SD Gundam game but the cut-ins are very pretty and detailed. My gundam is getting weak though, I don't recognize quite a few of the early stuff in the trailer.

Yeah, me neither.

Are those actual 3D graphics or still somehow pre-rendered sprites?

Are the cockpits tied to the character or the MS? Would be cool if the cockpit is tied to the MS (like it should be) and the cut ins will have the characters in the correct cockpits.

Also everyone should have a cut in.

Same here... I only know those that appeared in SRW.

And that's a new VA for the Purus, isn't it? She sounds quite a lot like Chieko Honda.

I'm hoping she'll be there for V, to add some lines for a potential combo attack with Marida.

Pretty good chunk of those are video game originals. Somehow the Bigro that's been "modified" by becoming the head of a Mobile Armor 5 times its size isn't though, that's good ol' MS IGLOO.

Also, gadDAMN that's pretty. That fuckin' Gouf Custom with blood on it.

I'm sure there will something about ice cream.

Would be cool to have some Marida vs Glemmy stuff too.

You know how Banpresto is the company that makes the Super Robot Wars games, and the games reference this by having a super robot named Banpreios?

Well, since they're owned by Bandai Namco, there ought to have a super robot referencing them the same way. They can call it Dainam-O.

Thanks and good night.

Oh, apart from the FMW2 soundtrack being released online (yay!) there's a new patch which claims to adjust some character's abilities to be like in 3. Which ones, I wonder?

No, that was just something they were joking about trying to do.

The patch only makes FMW2 more compatible with Windows 7. It does nothing else... besides make the translation patch incompatible, I guess.

Both series have produced different, innovative, and/or well-regarded entries when they dip into Nintendo (Symphonia, Hearts, Graces, GC, W, NEO, BX) so I'm all for either.

Not quite.

Kai was gradually developing as a pilot and Newtype throughout the novels but was always overshadowed by Amuro. Once Amuro goes down he's legitimately the strongest Newtype left. They actually need to use his abilities to find Ghiren Zabi.

Amuro isn't killed by a random Zaku. He's killed by a Rick Dom piloted by Leroy Gilliam. Char was trying to communicate with the White Base and set up an alliance between Newtypes to kill the Zabis, his plan backfired, Hayato died and Amuro went batshit and started slaughtering people. Ironically just as Amuro was calming down Leroy shot him in the back and killed him. It's supposed to be a parallel to Amuro killing Lalah and Kuska Al and Leroy even says the same line as Amuro after he dies.

If its really taking over the DS line, we'll almost assuredly get some SRW games on it.

Depends on the sales numbers I suppose. They completely skipped the WiiU.

I really have to wonder how long SRW can keep going. It's an increasingly niche series after all. I mean I'm glad it's gone as absurdly long as it has and the addition of English translations might at least grow the potential base.

I don't think they are selling this one as a portable console first. For one thing they said they won't be selling it without the base unit and all the 3072 fiddly little parts it looks like it comes with.

The Wii U only had Pokken and Rumble. I don't know how well either of those sold, but neither are games that seem to have left much of an impact.

The switch will probably be a failure because Nintendo for all their posturing can't hold third parties to save their lives. They made a big deal about all the third parties they got last time and they ended up jumping ship real fast.

They can hold 3rd parties perfectly well on handhelds, which the Switch is supposed to sub in for, so who knows.

If they want to keep it on handhelds they'd have to choose between the Switch or Vita though. Unless they just develop it for mobiles, which I guess is a possibility.

You really shouldn't be rooting for less competition. Companies get crazy complacent when that happens. You only have to look at Sony's downswing in customer relations since the X-Box One cold-started and the Wii U unperformed.

Can you really call the xbone a cold start? I was thinking more crib death.

Hell, you could make a decent argument for it dying before it even came out, given the PR nightmare that MS had to deal with.
