I'm pretty excited for AGE to be in so the AGE-3 Orbital might finally get to do something. I hope Dunbine isn't post series like in UX.

I hadn't heard of it before, but I really like the Galient robot designs now that I've looked at them a bit. Izubuchi did good work.

All of Takashi's series are pretty great.

Gosh, could we actually get Dougram in a game at some point? That'd be something.

AGE-3 Orbital will have one attack and it blows up the unit when you use it.

Edit: Honestly, AGE-3 Orbital is almost certainly going to suck. It'll have an S-rank in space or something but Fortress will have a much much better weapon layout.

The SD Gundam Gaiden games are RPGs. They absolutely have plots to adapt.

Giant Gorg owns and "it's low power" doesn't matter worth a poo poo in SRW where we had goddammn Scopedogs murdering gods.

I'll admit I'm also of the camp that feels that VOTOMS is an ill fit for the franchise(cause let's face it the way the Z series did it is pretty much the only way you can make it fit), as is Daiguard to an extent(and this is coming from someone who's a big fan of Daigaurd)

Why?

Power levels for robots are fluid and flexible and trying to make them mesh would limit you to extremely small numbers of shows. Half the fun of the games is that they don't bother with that and they handwave it away with borrowed technology or whatever.

SRW would suck if they tried to go "Well, this robot isn't strong enough."

Kinda hard to fit any (non-G) Gundam shows in when their weapons and funnels all bounce off the nearby Invader or STMC mook! :v:

I...don't even know where to begin with BX's cast. :psyduck:

I only hope that Kio is only around to look good for the press pictures, and then get shoved into a corner while Flit and Asemu get to do all the cool stuff. My other hopes are that the SKL duo absolutely traumatize Kio with their violent antics, or Setsuna tells Kio he's not worthy of being Gundam.

Decided to look around /m/ for scans/info because I'm insane like that. Here's what I found.

Cast List

Panzer World Galient
SD Gundam Gaiden
Mobile Suit Gundam AGE
Giant Gorg
Macross 30: Voices across the Galaxy

Returning
Aura Battler Dunbine
Story of Aura Battler Dunbine
Matchless Raijin-Oh
The King of Braves GaoGaiGar
Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 the Movie: AWakening of the Trailblazer
Macross Frontier movies
Mazinger Edition Z: The Impact!
Mazinkaizer SKL
Martian Successor Nadesico

Scans:

So yes, for the first time since 2003, the Universal Century returns to a Nintendo handheld. And, I think this is the first time we have a battleship on the cover, too.





And lastly, there will be a PV on the 21st, with the game's supposed release date slated for August.

Does Macross 30 mean we get Max piloting Macross 7? Because that owned in @3 and I was really disappointed when he started piloting a valkyrie instead since it was a clear downgrade.

Makes sense that they put Nadesico on the cover, it's usually the best unit from its series.

Also, yaaaaaaaaaaaaay maybe a badass cover of Aurora and new cover of You Get To Burning!

Well on the plus side I'll get some SRW versions of the AGE opening themes. Real and Aurora were nice, and if I'm lucky To Tomorrow will come in with Flit. sharp# is almost certainly getting kicked for Beyond Destiny, but then again I am apparently the only person in the world who liked sharp#.

Though I wouldn't complain if they kicked Aurora for AGE-FX.

I'm surprised that SEED Destiny isn't in, if only because Kio and Kira being on the same team seems like a natural thing, but I guess that'll be in the next non-OG game.

Also cover Nadesico, because who needs more than three attacks to kill absolutely everything?

If Big Bang Hammer doesn't happen, missed opportunity as all hell.

Beyond that, I'd echo the earlier sentiment there may be some time based shenanigans about. That, or even more alternate universes, since it'd be... odd, to have Mazinger Z go through its origin story whilst Mazinkaiser SKL is stomping about. Or an SD Gundam series naturally existing in the same world as, well, multiple main Gundam series.

If had to wager a guess, aside from those three:

Daguza, GouRyuJin and GenRyuJin, J-Ark, Brera, Lorelai, Gai Daigouji and/or the Jovian Quartet, Yurika and Jun as Aestivalis pilots, Patrick and/or Andrei, and maybe Obright.

Amuro appears in SD Gundam Gaiden, as well as Char.

My rule of thumb is that in the source materials, the main characters (super robots especially) are seen already max-upgraded. It's up to you to put the power levels back up to canon levels.

On the plus side, this means I don't actually have to feel bad about not having a JP 3DS because that series list is super :geno:

They really should have just dropped Frontier since 30 can be the Macross representative for the game, but who knows, I guess they really needed to reuse some UX assets just to be safe.

Either that or Kawamori is holding an Armored Magnum to their heads if they don't put it in every game.

my guess is that the Frontier licence is dirt cheap and it lets them be lazy about various things in the game

They would have listed Prince of Darkness if that was the case, because Banpresto is a little nitpicky* about stuff like that.
