Wasn't Savers the one where the main digimon's super form had like the shittiest super weapon that never worked?

I also seem to recall this ridiculous animation goof up in like a team-up special or something where he's supposed to have punched a big digmon into two others, but actually just punched it into one while the other one flew in to the pile to join the fun.
Why would his digimon need a super weapon when he had the greatest super weapon of all: a right hook

Blitz, the animation goof you're remembering was from Season 7. Time Hunters. Time Hunters was a legendarily bad show that is down their with 02 in terms of quality. And 02 has the proud distinction of waving the flag of just being the worst Digimon season, with so many problems with production, the more you learn about it the more you learn that nobody knew what they were doing.

As for Digimon, I would love to have Xros Wars, Tamers, Adventure, Frontier or Savers in a game. Frontier naturally lends itself more to the concept, but Xros Wars' protagonist is literally a combining robot.

I dunno, I'd put Hunters down as worse. Like, 02 may have been flawed as hell, but it still had some strong moments to it, and managed to have some identity as its own show and plot. Hunters was almost nothing but filler that, in the end, was coasting on the nostalgia value to keep viewers along for an ending that rather than just being bad, is an absolute let down after previously dicking with audience hopes.

Though, whilst we're talking what if it got in SRW, then I'd say Tamers or Savers would probably present the easiest plots to adapt, though you'd get stuck at the arc where they have to willingly travel to the digital world, unless paired off with a bunch of shows set in an alternate world ala K. Digimon randomly appearing in real world locations could be easily tied into any of the other enemies of the week a typical super robot show has, compared to the other shows (outside of 02 and Hunters) which have the emphasis on the kids being lost and without support, which would kinda be rendered moot.

It's really hard to determine which was worse. Because Time Hunters was indeed all filler, but it didn't introduce a lot of plot holes and it wasn't that long. Meanwhile 02 basically took a tommy gun to Adventure and was as long as that show was.

Really though it's like choosing between two different kinds of poo poo, I'm sure in theory one is better than the other but you still don't want to have any part of feces.

You could also do what Neo did with the alternate world. Throw in new Getter for Ancient Japan stuff, a lot of shows easily mesh together on having an alternate world.

I for one would love to see Mighty Orbots make a return.

I mean I'm not sure what the legal situation around the matter is (the show apparently didn't do well enough in ratings to make good on its production values, plus the lack of merchandising), but goddammit, its like Gurren Lagann except made in the 80s.

This is already basically SRW in video form. Just add in some original characters and some new villain trying to take over the universe and you've got a non-OG SRW anime.

edit: my favorite part is the constant scenes of him just not giving a gently caress as the world explodes around him

Okay time to place bets. It's been almost 2 years since UX, so I personally think there's just as much possibility of a second 3DS game as there is of it being Z3-2. What are my odds? Any takers? Considering that both GBA and DS had at least 3 games each I'm actually surprised they haven't announced a new 3DS one before now.

And personally that's what I'm rooting for. Portable game means more odds on a crazy weird unit selection.

Your odds are basically zero given there's been the SRW Z-series Z in the background of the countdown for all except (I think) the first day.

They might announce multiple things which include a 3DS game. But if Z3.2 isn't part of it I will be astounded.

The Z has a line through it almost like an X. So. ZX. The final Z game is going to be on the 3DS and crossover with the MX/UX games. :colbert:
