Considering what the other pre-order bonus units have been, this makes sense. I'm also completely down for this as well.

The problem with that dream is that I highly doubt that Bandai Namco, let alone Banpresto, has enough resources to be dedicated to "microphone replacement" duties.

IIRC, New Getter and Shin vs. Neo didn't exactly rake in the cash (especially the latter, which is the least successful of the 3 OVAs in the 2000s), but aside from that, I have to wonder if there's something else holding things up, such as licensing shenanigans. Like, Nagai is only letting Armageddon come out to play because of reasons and the other Getter products are going to be on ice until something big comes up. That's the only reason I can think of as to why Armageddon has been representing the franchise since 2011.

My guess for them not using Shin vs Neo is because pretty much every time that series got used before people ended up griping because it's version of Shin Getter ended up being gimped in move variety since it only had like 10 minutes of screen time in that series

As for New Getter, probably because that series gets kind of weird*, not to mention it doesn't have an easy upgrade option like the other two

*although it probably has the most consistent quality of any Getter series

Checked the series listing and regular Crossbone is not units only. Then again, neither is Trider, nor was Daitarn in V or X, so take that as you will.

It's weird that the most plot Trider has had in years was in GC. Is its plot that bad?

Yes.

So the interview goes into this, but I'll reiterate - the producers are intentionally spreading out debuts amongst all the games, including the Mobage(s) to give a reason for people to play all of them - they do not consider them to be "not real games" / "spin-offs" / "inferior replacements" in any way and are treating them as legit installments of the franchise.

(Incidentally not the first time they've done this - Godannar is considered to have debuted in Scramble Commander 2, not K)

Mazinger Z and Getter Robo had plots, in a sense. They were mostly monster of the week stories, but you got some two parters, the status quo changed a bit, characters died or betrayed each other or villains got killed off. Mostly just to keep the monster of the week stuff from getting too stale, but still, if you were bored you could probably edit Mazinger Z into a show that felt like it had an actual forward narrative.

Trider G7 literally doesn't have a plot. Or, well, a plot in the super robot sense. Trider G7's much more a predecessor to stuff like ojamajo doremi than any super robot show, or a successor to mildly high-premise rural town comedies like Akko-chan and Osomatsu-san. It's a show where the focus is on the town where the main character lives, the people in it, building a supporting cast and having them interact with each other and with the main characters. The last episode doesn't even have a single fight in it, and the plot ends when the evil machine empire just goes 'man, why do we keep invading the earth' and goes home. Watta never even meets any of the villains outside of one defector who exists just to explain where the Trider even came from. Heck, the problems of the week usually barely relate to the giant robot or the machine empire.

Imagine a sitcom where all the characters work at a restaurant, and the opening episode is all about how they work at a restaurant, but the fact that they all work at a restaurant is mostly just used as a punchline or as an excuse for all of them to be at the same place from that point on. Trider's like that, but with a giant robot. Adapting Trider G7's 'plot' would involve multiple stages where Ryoma has to tell seven year olds why stealing is wrong, or everyone standing around awkwardly while Watta gets told what a miscarriage is.

Too bad no one outside of Japan can actually, you know, PLAY the mobile games. Like, I might actually play DD if it were something I could get without compromising my phone in some manner. And in English.

Maybe the "not perfectly on model redraw" dimension that a lot of the portraits from V and X came from.

For a lot of these games (mostly gacha ones with no official western release), if you're on Android you can usually get away with downloading the APK through something like QooApp, which doesn't need any mucking about with locales or settings. It just downloads the game and installs it. A lot of the time rooting is typically used for stuff like rerolling starter draws in those games, to delete account data without needing full app uninstalls to do so.
