Broken Loose posted:I mean, we said that about Moon Dwellers, and then V came out and a shitload of people bought it. No numbers, but I have anecdotal evidence of a ton of English-speaking fans all bought V (who never imported SRW before) including people who are new to the series. Just look at this thread, for starters. I tried to buy it off Playasia in February. It was sold out until April 1st.

I mean, it seems kinda silly that developers are surprised that if you open your game to expand from the population of Japan to...the world, you pick up a few more sales that it's worth even a haphazard translation effort.

How could they talk openly about sales in English speaking areas outside of Singapore without licensees getting annoyed though?

Though I imagine at worst you'd have No Macross Ever which wouldn't be the worst loss if it meant No loving Frontier Ever Again.

I think generally they would just generally classify those as Singapore/Eng speaking Asia in sales reports anyway? Like I'm sure that whatever sales data they get back isn't going to mention that an American bought a wallet card to buy the eng version digitally.

also macross delta is really crying out to be in SRW, since it has amazing music and a bunch of great characters that are sadly held back by kind of haphazard plotting, especially in the second half. I do hope it gets to be in at some point.

I'm pretty sure any game that gets a SEA version will not have Macross because of the thing. SS size Basaras would be amazing but rip. And yeah, playasia was sold out of V and Singapore PSN cards at the time of release and for a little while after. The only other thing I can think of people getting Singapore cards for was Nioh and even then that was out in the rest of the world within the week iirc so I doubt that accounted for much compared to V.

How are the non-Alpha PS1 SRWs? I'm thinking about grabbing them off PSN. It looks like most of them are remakes, aside from Shin?

I'm thinking about grabbing them off PSN. It looks like most of them are remakes, aside from Shin? Shin SRW is the weird experimental one with realistically proportioned unit sprites and is where the original concepts of the SRX TEam debuted. Major changes from their modern counterparts include Ryusei being a bit more of a jerk and Aya having romantic feelings towards Ryusei. Also, Master Asia is an alien. Also also, Voltes V disappears for good after about 15 stages unless you take the Earth Route path (IIRC). Shin SRW is Voltes V's debut in the series, for the record.

I had a weird thought when I listening to SRW soundtracks while out jogging just now: did "MX" ever end up meaning anything to the plot of SRWX? It wasn't a reference to the final boss in any way I can think of, that was a different abbreviation with a double meaning.

It was Magnate Ten or X, yeah. And on top of Toei Kouji's usual suggestion and Shinji's Neon Squadron Evangelion, Asuka does go with 努力根性のセカンドレッド、惣流・アスカ・ラングレーとその忠実なるしもべ達. MX doesn't allow enough characters or kanji in the squad name, though!
