unkown source, but I have seen it in many places.-

Possible name Super Robot Taisen AZ...

Robots mentioned so far "Grendizer", "Gundam", "L-Gaim", "Dancougar", "Macross 7" and "Godmars" for veterans; on the newbies we got "Mobile Suit Gundam Seed", "Overman King Gainer", "Saikyô Robot Daioger", "Votoms" and "Yûsha Tokkyû Maidgain".

They mention that the game will be like "Dai 2 JI Super Robot Wars Alpha" for Playstation 2, but with new things of course... They say that the game will be 'more simple' and 'easier' so new players can adjust to it....

EDIT -> My gripp on the thing is that this is way too suspicious; I mean, way too neat sellection of mecha but no typical 'getter/getter' nor 'mazinger/kaizer' nor 'Z/ZZ/Char counter Gundam'

I'd LOVE to see King Gainer in a game, but...really.."easier"?
SRW is the absolute easiest game series ever. Impact had SOME difficult fights, but have you played MX? You literally CANNOT lose most of the fights if you even so much as attack...ANY attack!

Yeah, Alpha 2 is pretty darn easy. The only time I lose is when a boss does an all attack that happens to hit a weaker mecha, killing them in one hit. If they're story related, you lose the map. My own mecha is too buff for words, most attacks do zero damage to it.

I find it a little hard to believe when the series isn't pushing the PS2 graphically and they would definitely take a cut in sales to move it to the less successful GC.

I could see a side game like Scramble Commander, but not a main part of the series.

Well, the N64 had it's own side story and did somewhat well; the DC had a 'better' version of the SRW Alpha and also did well.... the PSX games also started with a side story so this most likely will be a small chance to cash in profits from a smaller audience and then they will leave the game handling there... Or they could do something useful and port GBA titles XD

I suspect Nintendo's takeover bid for Bandai (BOO..HISS) may be behind these rumors. And while Banpresto may not be owned by Bandai, I'm dang sure that Bandai has most of the rights to the anime series...

They will hopefully devise a way to integrate GBA connectivity. I am looking forward to it.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time some populars went missing.

-No Getters in the 2nd Wonderswan game.
-Only Mazinger Z in Shin SRT on PSOne.
-Out of the 20+ games, Mazinkaiser appeared 4 times.
-No Gundam Z in Shin SRT
-No Gundam ZZ in Shin SRT and the 1st Wonderswan one.

It is strange to leave these out, but it's been done before so it could happen. Only strange one is the dissappearance of any CCA mechs. I think they've appeared in every game [minus Original Generation]. I also agree about the fact that the series couldn't be made easier unless [maybe] if you've never played turn based stradegy games before. Even then with proper fighting and leveling/upgrading [as in any semi-RPG] then the only real way to lose is if you purposely MAP attack your motherships. To make the game easier would probably require something short of the game playing itself [a permanent lvl99 NPC?]....

Actually, that's a good point...they probably can't make the games easier...just more "user friendly", which means removing options. Less attacks, less upgrades, less pilot customization...that sort of thing. MX makes my head spin sometimes when I think about what I need to do with everyone and every unit. Well...that is, until I realize that I can do whatever I want and it will still be OK.

Even though I get NO reward from the easy, poorly-designed battles in SRW, the game systems and animations are rewarding enough in themselves to keep me playing...just not until the end. I'm at Chapter 30 in MX and I can't stand it anymore. Similar things have happened in the other games.

Hmm...in some ways, I think Scramble Commander was best...

Hmm, more 'user-friendly' for newcomers might mean a regression to the SRT3 days i.e. no Pilot Points, no Support Attack/Defense, no Items. Actually wouldn't the game already be slightly newbie unfriendly if it's based on @2 i.e. Squads?...

Well, they could do a brain dead easy to learn squad system and include brain dead tutorials on the game and in the booklet...

By the way I think that SRT3 was really user unfriendly, I mean, not choosing what you do to counter attack is just wrong.... It's no joke when they blow up the mother ship in the first couple of turns and you have to deal with huge forces and no ressuply.

I have always thought that game became easier because you gained so many new abilities.... On the old days you have to attack then with stones when you run out of the heavy things, most super robots couldn't afford use to many of their finishing moves and wheren't that easy to recharge... ;P

Now, if my SRTMX order would arribe ;P

Hmmmmn..... A friend of mine is dealing the issue; he mainly deals with friends and people; not sites... He is trust worthy (he has the other two games, so it works XD)
