I picked up SRW 30 on a whim, having never touched the series before. Its fantastic. I was trying to more or less balance my main team, with Koji and Gridman leading the pack via favoritism. Then Ryouma joined and suddenly had way more kills than everyone else.
I'm a little disappointed I apparently won't get Shin Getter back.
I like 30. It does a lot to change up the formula, even if difficulty is... well, nonexistent might be a bit strong but it's also not wholly unwarranted. Amuro being stuck in the Nu Gundam seems bizarre, though. We have the Hi-Nu and the HWS for both of them. Why not include them?
For fun (and since I love its color scheme and overall designed) I fully upgraded my MP Nu Gundam and shoved Char in it. Lack of Re-GZ makes me sad, however. Love me some Re-GZ.
My playthrough has been stalled pretty much between a combination of paralyzed by choice (so many missions I could do that I don't do any) and if I'm doing SRW, I'm trying to play Moon Dwellers. Which has its own issues with Loads And Loads Of Characters. I have like... 30 or so characters I barely know and 8 deployment spots. And 3 of them have to be taken for SRX.

Does anyone know the controls for Super Robot Wars W? Specifically, how necessary are the shoulder buttons? I ask because my DS' shoulder buttons are borked but given this has an English patch, I might be able to play it.

Decided to just emulate it on my phone rather than dig out my DS. Wow this game feels like J. To the point that I think I'm going to try to finish J rather than play this one for now.
I do like the Valstork. And how it's clearly a Transforming Mecha. If that thing doesn't Macross then I'm going to eat my hat.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.So, I was clicking around. Super Robot Wars Advance has a First Installment Wins entry that I find really dubious on a few levels:
- First Installment Wins: Amongst the GBA Super Robot Wars games, despite being the most archaic (and considered very very difficult even for SRW standards) and having tons of Early-Installment Weirdness, it is by far the most popular of the GBA games, with the originals (both Axel and Lamia) usually first in line in making appearances in other SRW media (the only one that comes close is D)
So... it starts off sounding like an Overly Narrow Superlative, as it's First Installment Wins, not First Installment Specifically On This Platform wins. And I just don't know how true it is? I mean, I'm pretty sure OG and OG 2 are bigger in the general SRW community.
Then the second bit, about D being the next biggest is just surprising to me? Again, overly narrow superlative and all but I don't think D is terribly well-known either. At least, and this is probably a western bias thing, but I just assumed J was bigger than D. This could be wrong and just because J got patched into English and Moon Dwellers got an official English release but... well, I just assumed that being translated also indicated popularity.
I won't disagree with Axel and Lamia being the most popular of the original characters on the GBA lettered games, but I chalk that at least partially due to exposure: Advance had a really short gap before being ported into an OG game.
I dunno, the entry just strikes me as weird.
Anyway, found my Vita copy of X. Gonna give that a play once I finish my playthrough of V.

.
Basically, it's weird and inconsistent that some of our pages use expanded titles (e.g. Super Robot Wars Judgment) and we don't even have redirects for the abbreviated versions (e.g. Super Robot Wars J). And for other games, the opposite is true (we have Super Robot Wars V but not Super Robot Wars Voyage).
Given how the expanded titles are, to my knowledge, largely All There in the Manual at best, I'm thinking we should largely be using the abbreviated versions.

As I said in ATT
, if I don't hear anything otherwise, I'll probably just move them.
Since this thread is dead, I thought I'd take the opportunity to catalogue the ridiculousness that is the state of my current SRW playthroughs:
- Super Robot Wars OG The Moon Dwellers PS 4: Slow due to the fact I can't play on a TV too often, but the playthrough I'm having the most fun with. On mission 13 or so.
- Super Robot Wars: Original Generation (Emulated GBA): Completely stalled until I build my HG Huckebein so that I can gaze at it while I play the game. Halfway through a Kyosuke run.
- Super Robot Wars J (Emulated GBA): Generally the game I pick up when I have a minute or two to spare on my phone. Partway through a Calvina/Granteed run.
- Super Robot Wars W (Emulated DS): Booted up and began, but the assets and gameplay were so similar to J I decided I want to finish that before touching this.
- Super Robot Wars X (Vita): Generally the game I play when I'm actually traveling but have time to sit down and play something... except my save corrupted so I prolly won't be going back to it anytime soon.
- Super Robot Wars 30 (Switch): I'm... somewhere near the endgame. Honestly, the complete lack of difficulty and Quick Sandbox nature of the mission system means I just can't get motivated to move forward.
- Super Robot Wars A Portable (Emulated PSP): Just started. Currently deciding which route to go with. Probably just going to go with the Lamia Angelg route, unless other people have thoughts.
My... attention span isn't long.

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.Bump. Live A alive is getting added to DD in order to celebrate the 30th and 5th anniversaries respectively. Looks like Square Enix is now another source for mecha series to be considered for Super Robot Wars.
Edit:
Looks like they are also adding Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory and SSSS.Gridman to the game as well. I believe this is the first time for Max Gridman's Beam and Punch attack to be in a SRW game.

Are we ignoring X-Omega? Because that definitely had video-game original mechs added. Because that had everything added.
So has anyone played A Portable? I'm having an issue: I can't get my Gundam and G-Fighter to combine into the Gundam (MA) (aka the Gundam + B-Parts). I can get the G-Armor, G-Sky, and G-Bull, but they're worthless. The option to turn into the Gundam (MA) seems to be gone. I can't tell if this is a glitch or if I'm missing something. I lost this ability as soon as I lost Sayla, and it's a shame because giving the original Gundam the ability to fly while still using all its attacks and a second set of pilot skills was really fun.
Also, goddamn the Mirror Image skill seems to be absolutely broken. Fought a boss that was Mirror Imag-ing at least 90% of attacks which... doesn't seem right. I thought Mirror Image was a flat 50%? Does it go higher as Will goes up?
Oh. I'm working on a page for Expies from the SRW series. Sandbox.Super Robot Wars Expy.
Please feel free to help out.

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.Not sure if this was brought up, but a while ago, a huge long WMG page has been made for the series Kannazuki no Miko aka Destiny of the Shrine Maiden, should it be in Super Robot Wars.
Granted, it is not the best with a lot missing and stuff we can improve on. But if anyone wants to contribute, feel free to start with the main WMG page for it here

I wonder how they are going to handle Majestic Prince this time, since Ataru Suruga's voice actor was arrested for fraud, and they cannot simply use his lines anymore. And since he is a member of the Team Rabbits, I don't know how critical the character is in order to just remove him without any problem.

To be a deployable unit in SRW, a lot of the "intangible" powers of a mecha have to be excised.
