Escaflowne certainly deserves to be in a better SRW than Compact 3. One can only hope.

On a more optimistic note, could the push some of these series seem to be getting on portables be them testing the waters for inclusion in a console SRW?

If that list is accurate than I think this new SRW might have the lowest Super Robot to Real Robot ratio of any game in the franchise post SRW 2 at only 4 Super Robot series out of 13 total series

How can you see the Galiant theme song as anything except 80's gold?(also Galiant does some interesting things with it's plot that ties in well for SRW stuff, while Escaflowne would be a second stringer at best for possible world building importance)

That's a pretty interesting lineup.
Always seems like they're using the portable games to gauge interest for the bigger games.
This is a pretty non-standard lineup.
Does Giant Gorg count as a super? I haven't watched that show yet.

Given how much it's appeared in the last few portable games, then, I'd think it's about time Dunbine got moved back to console SRW.

This may actually be a weird loving series lineup than UX.

Apparently they're going to be primarily adapting Kio's arc of Age? The arc nobody liked and which they made a movie to basically remove?! SD Gundam Gaiden? Macross 30?!

Yeah, I'm utterly bewildered by loving MXF being in again. They can't even argue "Well, we wanted it to have a Macross inclusion" since they included 30!

Double edit: Gog is apparently http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Gorg and Galian is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_World_Galient - both 80s stuff.

G-Reco is way too new. We're multiple Gundam series behind at this point, and it wasn't popular enough for them to rush it up like SEED.

"We're doing Kio's arc" makes a little more sense in retrospect since they can include Asemu and Flit still and don't have to worry about time shenanigans. On the other hand KIO.

SEED wasn't even that rushed. Like, in context of Alpha 3 it was obviously forced in there, because it just outright didn't fit in that point of the series, but Alpha 3 was released almost two years after SEED ended. By the time BX is released it'll still not have even been a year since G-Reco started.

Just looking at that list makes me think we're getting a time travel-centric plot. We have:

-Macross 30, which apparently had a time travel-centric plot
-Nadesico, which had time travel
-Dunbine and its OVA, which are 700 years apart
-Both SKL and Shin Mazinger
-Multiple things in medieval settings along with modern stuff like gundam

So there's hope for at least something non-Kio happening too?

Not as off the wall as UX, but not entirely "90% new popular series" either and brings back some long-requested series like GGG.

Biggest flaw would be I don't think there's a single huge "wow" factor in the series list like with GL or Code Geass first jumped in.

I can dig this.

What interesting things? I don't really know anything about Galiant besides the name, what's the story?

I'd still really love to see Escaflowne in as well, but I think this list has a good balance between old standbys and random weird poo poo. A little disappointed the team still can't do multiple portraits, though. The OG team had those on the GBA! I guess at this point it's some weird style thing...?

I'll admit I am incredibly underwhelmed by this series list in a way that pretty much no other SRW game has done up to this point(even Z3.2 was less disappointing in this regard), cause of the series list;


Dunbine
Raijinoh
Gaogaigar
Gundam 00 movie
Macross F movie(s?)
Shin Mazinger Z
Mazinkaizer SKL
Nadesico
Galiant
SD Gundam Gaiden
Gundam Age
Gorg
Macross 30

Of the returning series only GGG and Nadesico are even remotely surprising or interesting, and of the 5 new series, one is probably an excuse entry to jam other Macross stuff in with minimal effort(Macross 30), both new Gundam entries are awful(AGE 3 is the worst part, and SD Gundam Gaiden seems like it'll be pure filler, since I don't believe it even has an anime to adapt), Gorg is so low powered and small scaled a series from what I can remember, that I literally can't think how it can contribute to an SRW game in any meaningful manner, which makes Galiant the only remotely interesting newcomer, so I can't think of much if any reason to really be excited about this game

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.
