Next SRW speculation

[Prime32]

Well, a mix of actual speculation as to what's likely and just "what would be awesome?" Taking some ideas from previous discussions on the topic.

Mazinkaiser (SRW F version)

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YorRbV_Op9A)

Gekijouban Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: Lagann-Hen



The Gaiking remake already had an appearance in Super Robot Wars K (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKpssCY-Zw0) (by all reports the series was mediocre, but Gaiking the Great (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPmRB7njTZE) is one of the most awesome robots ever). New Getter appeared in SRW NEO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqoxLBKahrs). Now that Go Nagai has reclaimed the rights to Gaiking, including him and Shin Mazinger for a new Final Dynamic Special would seem fitting (Fire Blaster + Getter Beam + Hydro Blazer + whatever Grendizer's beam is called).

The SRW F Mazinkaiser seems like it will be fairly close to what Shin Mazinkaiser will be like when it comes out (since there's already been a Mazinger prototype in the series (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDj1KTha8go)). Mind, I haven't finished watching Shin Mazinger yet.

Gaiking seems like it could fit into the same setting as the first half of TTGL (or during the timeskip) with little trouble. It could easily pass as a Ganmen. There's apparently a villainous princess involved, who could be one of Lordgenome's creations, possibly the replacement for Nia.

Ganmen = Getter Machines and Spiral Energy = Getter Rays also seems obvious. The "gods" from New Getter could be working with the Anti-Spirals or be Anti-Spirals themselves - they could also be members of the same race as Shin Mazinger's Zeus.

There's no sane way to fit in an original boss after the Anti-Spiral, but SRW games have had non-original final bosses before (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTZvN5g7gss). The second TTGL movie is included as a source to allow everyones' mechs to take part in the final battle.

The factions of Gundam 00 and Code Geass are the same (Britannia = Union, EU = AEU, China = HRL). ZAFT from Gundam SEED are an additional faction, whose N-Jammers are the reason Britannia needs Sakuradite so much.

Photon Power is an advanced form of the Core Luminous system used to power Knightmare Frames. Sakuradite = Japanium.

The parents of George Glenn, the first Coordinator, were members of Celestial Being (it was all part of the plan). The Trinity siblings are independently-produced Coordinators. The first SEED Gundams were developed using old technology stolen from Celestial Being.

After the events of Gundam 00, the 0 Gundam is recovered and refitted into the RX-78. Amuro may or may not be an amnesiac clone of Ribbons. True Innovators are Newtypes regardless.

Code Geass, Gundam 00 and GaoGaiGar all involve strange powers from Jupiter. Evangelion's backstabbings become still more complex when you have Emperor Wakamoto joining in. And then it turns out that the Anti-Spirals were manipulating all of them into destroying humanity. And then it turns out that Aeolia Schenberg was manipulating the Anti-Spirals posthumously.

Knightmare of Nunally is included solely as a source of secret mechs, because while no-one wants that much lolicon in their SRW, the idea of Nunally in the Mark Nemo as a playable unit is hilariously awesome.


Plot points
ZAFT launches N-Jammers at Earth, making nuclear power impossible. This forces the various factions to accelerate the development of solar power, and provokes the Union of Britannia to invade Japan for its abundant energy reserves. It also gives FLEIJA a reason to be significant in a setting which has real nukes already.

When Getter Shin Dragon is destroyed it wipes out most of humanity and exposes the rest to large quantities of Getter Rays (awakening them as Spirals). It also sends the cast into the future, where they encounter the cast of TTGL and Gaiking. Kouji Kabuto and the Getter team unearth their old mechs to find that they have been mutated by the explosion, transforming into Mazinkaiser and Shin Getter. Turn A Gundam might also show up.

In the final battle, every character receives an upgraded mech. The Getter team get Getter Emperor, etc. Some may just get larger versions of their existing mechs.

[Cubey]

There's no sane way to fit in an original boss after the Anti-Spiral, but SRW games have had non-original final bosses before (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTZvN5g7gss).

You'd be surprised. Alpha 3 had an original boss (obviously), and that's after you've beaten GaoGaiGar Final, End of Evangelion, Ideon and Gunbuster. That's not Gurren Lagann level of epicness yet, but pretty damn close.

Here's my wish list. First, series that did not star in SRW yet:
-Gurenn Lagann, obviously. It's unlikely though because Gainax doesn't cooperate with Banpresto as closely as Sunrise does. We had EVA in SRW (several SRW titles, in fact) and Gunbuster in Alpha 1&3, so I have my hopes though.
-Diebuster. As above, but even less likely due to not being as popular as TTGL. But I want it. Hopefully in one game with Gurren Lagann and Gunbuster, for shared epicness.
-Xenogears. Oh yes, Xenogears. It's a game, not an anime, but we had games in a SRW title before (Virtual ON). Square Enix is infinite times less likely to work with Banpresto than Gainax, so it's a really wild dream - but it'd be awesome. I'm sure Super Robot Wars would fix the screwed over second disc. And let's not forget the voice acting! Bart is Tomokazu Seki, and Fei is Hikaru Midorikawa. Tell me that's not cool.
-Gundam 00 and Code Geass. Giving them an offhand mention because I didn't watch the series (heretic, I know), and also because they're Sunrise productions, so their appearance in SRW is not a case of if, but when.
-The new Mazinger was explicitly made for appearance in SRW, so same here.
-Macross Frontier. Its general themes and plot are easy to incorporate into SRW, I don't exactly know it was supposed to appear in SRW, but I have my suspicions. And it's a good thing, because Macross Frontier is fun. Also, Triangular and Lion make great battle themes, despite being Japanese idol pop.

Now, titles that had an appearance in SRW yet, but I want to see them again:
-Gunbuster. It's awesome, rocking music, and lesbianish. Like I mentioned above: crossover with TTGL and Diebuster plox.
-Full Metal Panic! (and Fumoffu, Second Raid). Nobody who watched the series needs an explanation on this one. Just so you know, I consider this the best Real Robot show I've ever seen. To be more precise, I want FMP! in a game with voice acting - we already had this in SRW J and W, but I want to hear Sousuke and his friends (Gauron, Bates, etc) talking. Also, Sagara already had interactions with Heero from Wing in SRW W, but we must add Setsuna from 00 to the mix. The universe would explode.
-Gundam SEED Astray. Like above, I want this in a game with voice acting. This is the G Gundam of SEED - over the top and running on rule of cool, and yet still more low tech and realistic than the actual SEED series! The main character is a shonen idiot hero space garbage man whose unit uses Shining Finger (discovered completely by accident) and a robot-sized katana, and later upgrades to a katana that is 150 friggin' meters long. His White Base is a space garbage truck that attacks enemies by throwing space junk at them, and is commandeered by a mysterious and hot scientist woman and later, the holographic projection of the first Coordinator. His rival/friend is an unholy fusion of Max Jenius and Han Solo. The music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x8AIGzp0pw) sounds like it belonged to Guilty Gear/BlazBlue rather than the usual, angsty and vaguely emo vibes we get from SEED songs (not that it's a bad thing, I like some SEED music a lot). And the Big Bads are Ginias and Aina from 08th MS Team, turned evil. Or in Ginias's case, less evil... I guess.
-Speaking of 08th MS Team, I want this back too. And I'll sing Arashi no Naka de Kagayaite until I get it.
-Virtual ON would be neat. These robots and their battle music are just so fun.
-Nadesico! This, surprisingly for me, appears in SRW much more often than I initially expected. But I want Nadesico, and NOT Nadesico + Prince of Darkness movie. Stupid plot, stupid villains, do not want.
Also, Yurika makes a much better ship captain than Ruri. As much as I love Ruri.

I'm sure there's like a dozen series more that I forgot to mention, but that's it from me for now.

Oh yeah. And I want this to be a sequel to SRW Z, so that we may see Rand and Setsuko again. Not as main characters, but as supporting cast - like Ibis, Arado, Seolla, Sanger and Elzam in @3. Main characters in @2, but supporting original characters in the final title of the sub-series.

[Tengu_temp]

I'd like to see an SRW game with actual Daitarn 3 plot, rather than Banjou just hanging out with other people and/or being a mentor to Kappei.

[Cubey]

On this, I have a sneaking suspicion that Banpresto created the Endless Frontier just as a battleground for whatever they're working towards with the "Twelve Keys" (Fighter Roar's appearance in EXCEED supports this theory).

But Endless Frontier is just a gaiden game (or rather series, with the incoming EXCEED and all). Much less epic, much more silly than the usual SRW fare. Even the characters themselves lampshaded it by saying they'd be crushed under the foot of a giant robot if they were ever to fight one.

Why is Roar, and Axelfimi for that matter, in EXCEED then? Pure fanservice. It sure worked on me.

The reason they're not taking it seriously was because the point of the games was just to establish that this place exists, and that it's a nice place where everyone can forget their troubles. Then Dark Brain shows up and eats it. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KickTheDog)

[Cubey]

It's a nice place whose inhabitants have beating the crap out of each other as a hobby. That's what they do with friends. You don't want to know how they treat enemies.

But no. I doubt Dark Brain will be appearing in a non-OG title. There is no OG to non-OG character migration, only the other way around (Endless Frontier counts as OG). The only exception is Elzam Ratsel, and that's because...

[Fri]

coincidentally, I just had a dream about SRW last night. It got the usual suspect, plus patlabor. And X-Wing. And James Bond.

The plot involves zombies.

I'd like to disclose more, but we all know what happen last time I told you guys about my super robot dream.

[Tengu_temp]

Personally I wouldn't mind Endless Frontier appearing in an SRW game, as long as it will also have SEED and Princess Kaguya and Moo La Flaga will have a double attack.

[Terraoblivion]

While Cubey's list looks good, i must insist that Gundam Wing is added to it. While i don't really like the show that much, it has some really cool robots and we have to see the trio of crazed child soldiers hanging out, rather than just having two of them together at a time. And i want it to be the actual Gundam Wing and not Endless Waltz or just the Wing kids hanging out with the rest of the cast for no adequately explained reason. Treize and his fabulousness would fit right in with the Code Geass people too.

I couldn't see this working as a sequel to SRW Z though, given that no characters from any of these shows appeared in the first game. Even adding Daitarn 3 like Tengu suggests, which would make sense, it would still not be a huge amount of shared characters.

Aw, who am I kidding, they'll be allies with everyone at some point.

[Terraoblivion]

Yeah. They are masters at switching sides. Often without explanation or warning.

[Oslecamo]

You made me post in the forums when I had promised myself to keep my net activity in the minimum untill my exams are over. I hope you're happy.

This is what I want to see in the next SRW:

Angry Marine Chapter Master on the Litany of Litany's Litany wich turns into
this. (http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs41/f/2009/011/4/e/Angry_Titan_by_Gannadene.jpg)



Also:

Comissar Yarrick on his fortress of Arrogance.
Comissar ****Law on the Maximum ****, special combo attack with the Litany of Litany's Litany, dropping themselves one after the other over the enemy, while rocking out.



K, not very much likely to happen, but one can dream.

[Nerd-o-rama]

I'd like to see an SRW game with actual Daitarn 3 plot, rather than Banjou just hanging out with other people and/or being a mentor to Kappei.Super Robot Wars R comes to mind.

Cubey and Prime have covered my wishes in general, but let me reiterate important points:

-Crossovers of the recent Sunrise series (Geass, 00, SEED and maybe even SEED Destiny - the latter fits surprisingly well with 00's plot Char and Amuro villain teamup!, and it can have sense made of it) And maybe Sora Kakeru Shoujo just for voice actor jokes. Series with limited numbers of fights make it in all the time - I dare you to give Gundam 0080 plot more than three missions.
-Speaking of which, Gundam 0080 needs more love.
-Evangelion, Gunbuster, Diebuster, and Gurren-Lagann happening in the same continuity, possibly using Gunbuster's epilogue as a bridge from an Alpha-ripoff to an Alpha Gaiden-ripoff. TTGL and Diebuster both work best in post-apocalyptic future, Evangelion and Gunbuster...in a slightly less far future scenario. Adding in Getter Robo (preferably New, Armageddon, Shin vs. Neo, or the manga continuity) would be a major, major plus. And maybe GaoGaiGar just for all of the green glowing evolutionary energy in one place, and turning out to be the same thing. This fits well with the first point as a connection to Gundam 00 - what'd you think made True GN Drives glow like that?
-This might not fit well with all of my other choices, but I'd really, really like to see Gundam 0079's plot be important again. Speeding through Zeta and skipping straight to Char's Counterattack misses out on a lot of cool characters and machines, including all of Amuro's actual character development.
-Nanoha. Screw you guys, it'd work.

Looking closer, Prime's plotline could be easily tweaked into satisfying most of this. Should point out that Japanium is the basis of Super Alloy Z, not the Photon Power generator, but it's still easy to say they're related.


EDIT: and this should be in Gaming (Other) guys.

[Terraoblivion]

Nanoha would be great to see and beamspammy enough to fit too. The reaction of the other characters to seeing little girls blast away with lasers would be worth it too. I think it is unlikely to happen, though.

[Nerd-o-rama]

I think it is unlikely to happen, though.Someone at Banpresto clearly at least enjoys Nanoha (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBQrA5ox4m0).

[Terraoblivion]

Oh, most definitely. And it would also be quite awesome, no doubt about that. Just don't think they would be willing to go that far away from focusing on big robots. It is visually a greater deviation than something like Tekkaman after all.

[Cubey]

We already had Domon, Master Asia and Alberto the Shockwave kick giant robot ass while on foot. This is the natural extension of this idea.

Also, Valsione + Tekkaman = Nanoha.

[Mercenary Pen]

Well, I'm pretty sure it'll never happen, but a crossover with Zoids would be pretty cool.

[Cubey]

Well, we already had Zoids in SRW K, so it's less impossible than you think.

[Mercenary Pen]

Well, we already had Zoids in SRW K, so it's less impossible than you think.

Well, that just goes to show how little I know. But anyway, Ideal face-off would be RZ-041 Liger Zero vs. GAT-X105 Strike Gundam, for the ultimate battle of armour conversion mecha... and I suspect that the Zero Panzer configuration can probably outclass most other mecha (apart from the genuine super robots) in terms of raw firepower.

[darkblade]

There is less than one millionth of a percent of it ever happening but I would like to see some of the Wests giant robots get some brief spotlight in the series.

Megas XLR
Iron Man
Sentinels
Transformers
Big Guy and Rusty
The various Star Wars Walkers
The Iron Giant
War of the Worlds Tripods
Battle Tech
Various Warhammer 40K mecha

Etc

and of course the also unlikely to apear but since it is at least Japanese it gets a few more points.

Metal Gear!

[Nerd-o-rama]

No, it can't be!

Metal Gear and Zone of the Enders would both be phenominal series to add, but unfortunately Konami and Bandai/Namco are rivals, so it's highly unlikely. Then again, so are Bandai and Takara/Tomy and GaoGaiGar's been in three games now, not to mention the Gainax properties that were licensed to Konami, so you never know.

Transformers
lol (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS5KQj87tNk) :smalltongue:


Speculation: When Code Geass appears in an SRW game, the role of Li Xingke will be expanded. Why? This is why. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HikaruMidorikawa)

[Nerd-o-rama]

Kinda impossible to say whether Transformers, as a franchise, is "American" or "Japanese". The toys were Japanese originally and rebranded when bought by an American company, the "storyline" was originally created by American writers but split off into different continuities and spinoffs in Japan, and it all is probably moot, because Takara/Tomy has the Japanese rights and as stated, they don't really like Bamco except in special instances of fan demand.

[darkblade]

To clarify I listed Transformers on that list because to the best of my knowledge it is a more successful franchise in North American than in Japan. Of course most of my knowledge about Transformers and Japan come from unconfirmed internet sources so they may be wrong.

[Cubey]

Transformers:
The Dragon robots from GaoGaiGar are good enough for you? No? Okay, thought so. And yes, I wouldn't mind seeing Optimus kick some ass in a SRW title.

With Iron Man becoming an anime, he might actually appear in Super Robot Wars though.

SRW K actually has Zoids and SEED in one title, but I don't think you ever get to fighting Kira. So no Liger vs Strike Gundam.

[Prime32]

Transformers:
The Dragon robots from GaoGaiGar are good enough for you? No? Okay, thought so. And yes, I wouldn't mind seeing Optimus kick some ass in a SRW title.Galaxy Force's Optimus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDqeLkujDI4) Prime (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iic7tj4AkrU) looks rather like ChoRyuJin, and actually has the same VA as the Dragon Brothers. And he can dock with an Expy of Goldymarg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhFmYqLLXmc).

Even the American productions get in on it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXgBIjrqeoU)

[Hunter Noventa]

I've dreamed of having Xenogears in SRW. The Yggdrasil would be a support ship, kind of like the White Ark is in Alpha Gaiden, or maybe it's own battleship. The gears would obviously be real robots, and you'd get a chance to fight Solaris and maybe even Deus could be one of the major bosses.

And there would have to be an obligatory scene where the Elements combine their Mecha, and all the the other people who pilot combining mecha are either really surprised or just make fun of them.

[Cubey]

Unfortunately, Xenogears in SRW faces one difficulty.

No, I don't mean Square Enix being unwilling to cooperate. I mean this guy.

http://squarezone.pl/galeria/xenogears/citan.jpg

We had game breakers in SRW before, but DAY-UM. There are some limits we simply cannot cross.

And Yggdrassil would make a good battleship. It's not that all of them have to fly. I present you, the Iron Gear. Or even better, Tuatha de Danaan.

[Exarch]

Xenogears in one would be made of utter win.

But, here's a question...as an American, where can I find these treasures? I've seen one of my friends playing a Japanese port, yet I lack the understanding of said language. Assistance? :smallbiggrin:

[Cubey]

SRW OG1 and OG2 were translated to English. They don't have any mecha from licensed anime, only Banpresto-made originals - but they're still incredibly fun.

There is also a fan translation of Alpha Gaiden, and J in the works too. Other than that, you'll have to polish up your moonspeak!

[Nerd-o-rama]

Or read the thorough, humorous, but extremely haphazard in quality plot summaries that most of the the games have on GameFAQs.

To actually find them - you can find SRW Original Generation 1 and 2 for the GBA in any video game store likely to stock older GBA games. Anything else, you'll need to import. And by "import" I mean "download off of isoHunt or Megaupload" along with an emulator.

A complete list of Super Robot Wars games by system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Super_Robot_Wars_games_by_system) can be found here, and I can personally recommend Alpha and Alpha Gaiden (PlayStation), along with A, R, D, and J for the GBA and W for the DS. Wasn't a fan of 3 (SNES) or K (DS), although I might play through 3 at some point just for the challenge.

[Exarch]

Thank you, cueby and Nerd-o-rama! I'll get right on that after I get out of work.

Big Guy and Rusty are Expies of Tetsujin "Gigantor" 28 and Astro Boy, so... yeah.

[Nerd-o-rama]

Hm. You know, Namco and Capcom have worked together in the past. Mega Man could actually work in SRW.

[Prime32]

Mega Man could actually work in SRW.Which one?

[Nerd-o-rama]

Obviously they'd either pick a particular game from a continuity or do what they do with Universal Century Gundam and just cram all the interesting plot points and enemies into one semi-coherent arc.

I think the X series is most popular and story driven, so likely something from that, although Classic could work too.

Or both, why not, works for Gundam. Throw in Battle Network too.

I think that sounds about right.

Capcom in general is a crossover whore. Vs. Marvel, Vs. SNK, X Edge, Namco x Capcom, and Vs. Tatsunoko.

I can't see any reason Capcom would say no if asked.

In terms of fitting in SRW, I'd say either X or Zero/ZX series are the most appropiate.

I'd be partial to Zero because that means Omega as a boss fight and Weil matching wits with classic OG villains, though. Sigma is kind of bad at being a cool boss fight.

[Prime32]

Megaman even has actual plot ties to SRW now. Indirectly but still.If he gets in Super Smash Bros. that will tie all the crossover games together, won't it. :smalltongue:

[Exarch]

I'd be partial to Zero because that means Omega as a boss fight and Weil matching wits with classic OG villains, though. Sigma is kind of bad at being a cool boss fight.

I still have nightmares of the Sigma fight at the end of X2 where he has the power claws. I hated that fight so much.

They could introduce Vile though. That'd be pretty interesting, especially if they used his virus form.

[Oslecamo]

If he gets in Super Smash Bros. that will tie all the crossover games together, won't it. :smalltongue:

Unfortenely, SSB already has a character with mechanical armor and an arm cannon. On the other hand, some of the characters are already pretty similar between each other, and with Snake and Sonic somehow sneaking in, megaman apearing in a next release wouldn't be complete madness.

[hanzo66]

With No More Heroes 2 out, I was sorta pondering the possibilities of the Glastonbury (Travis' mech inspired by that loli anime he watches)...


Yeah, Megas XLR in SRW has often come up in discussions about either topic. It's usually the idea that it's a wildcard unit that'll screw an unlucky player over... Just like how Coop does it. Dialogue between him and other characters would be awesome (especially Lelouch's reaction on how all of his intricate plans ended up getting ruined just because CC ratted him out after sharing pizza with him).
