This series never fails me. At first I was surprised in alpha 3 when I saw Roy and Rick from Macross. And now here's Voltron. I never saw the show when I was younger but I heard alot about it, which makes me extremely sad that I barely can understand what the characters are saying and what the story is about.
when does voltron ( I call it Voltron that's the show I saw as a kid) appear in this game. I ask because only one series I've selected (endless waltz) has appeared to stay with the group and I love voltron so needless to say being able to control and kick ass with him would just be epic to me. Thanks for doing this video by the way it really brought me back.
I never paid much attention to "Voltron". The only super robots I spent exp on are Kaiser, Getter Robo and GGG. Is this guy any good? I might use him on my next playthrough.
@infringementMAN It's stats are a slight bit lower than Shin Getter's, but you get five pilots. A bit more babysitting but you have more seishin to work with.
The creaters must know that americans are buying these games, I meen GoLion was nothing in japan, Gundam and Macross ruled the 80s, It was realy populer in america as Voltron though, it was one of the first Giant Robot shows many saw here in the USA.
technically any Robot Show can be in SRW, even Betterman which wasn't really a robot show. Maybe even Full Metal Panic or Code Geass (anime) will make an appearance someday despite not being really Robot shows.
I actually find it ironic that Tekkaman Blade, an armored human, made it in, while Gold Lightan, a true SUPER ROBOT, didn't make it yet in SRW, as the latter's crossover debut was in Tatsunoko VS Capcom.
Bandai Namco had better take a hint from Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and bring this game to the US. I really want to play it, because it has so many series I like.
unfortunately, thats part of the reason why it wont be brought to the US. with so many different series, and americas obsession with liscensing, it would be far too much work despite it being bought by half of hte population with proper advertising.
Sad thing is, every single series in W has been translated over here (it is, AFAIK, the only SRW to do that), and most of the rights are held by only three or four companies. If any non-OG Super Robot Wars game had a chance to get translated, it was this one.
The game's story actually links them together through a shared history. When they first meet, Kogane(Keith) actually asks Gai to join them. Gai of course declines, but notice all the stages that put them together storywise.
No wonder, GoaGaiGar and Voltron(Golion) for some reason the are familiar to each other, maybe it because of the both using Lions XD, I notice that when I battle EI.1 in the game.
I have heard about that,for Kogane(Kieth) ask Guy to pilot Blue Lion.
By the way do you know if there is any kind of path to translate the game into English?
It's pretty good. The gameplay is solid, if a bit easy when upgraded, and if you know japanese, the plot is fantastic. If you don't, GameFAQs has a mission by mission story summary.
I like the part during the first Jupiter battle against Lothor and the Primevals where if you have the Nadesico fight Lothor, he apparently prepositions, and gets shot down by, every single female on the team.
GoLion falls in the same rank as other combining robots in past SRW games for having a good array of weapons and power but suffers from accuracy and low armor (Getter Robo being the exception). Compared to MazinKaiser, Shin Getter Robo, and Genesic GaoGaiGar, GoLion falls last. But its advantage over the other three is that it has five pilots, meaning it has a variety of Spirit Commands the player can use to counter GoLion's cons.
At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if future SRW games threw in mecha from Super Sentai/Power Rangers..What I'd really like to see though, is some ZOE mechs.
Don't bet on it. Takara-Tomy, the toy maker that owns Transformers, is a direct rival of Bandai-Namco. With the exception of GaoGaiGar, none of their works are allowed to be featured in any of the SRW games.
Yes. I got word of it less than a week ago. Takara-Tomy is also said to be really open now on having their other franchises to be added to SRW, considering the game's popularity. So if it goes thru, perhaps we might even see Optimus Prime fighting side-by-side with the Wing Gundam or Mazinger.
Look at 3:11, that disighn at Golion's face is AWESOME!!!!
WE NEED GOLION/VOLTRON BACK IN NEW ANIME ADVENTURES!!!!
Anime not the shit 3D show that USA made for,Japan should make an NEW anime/chapter of the Legend of KING OF THE 1000 BEASTS GOLION/VOLTRON DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE!!!!!
Having GaoGaiGar and Golion certainly makes up for the massive suckfest otherwise known as "Gundam SEED" being included. Most boring "Gundam" series EVER!
And let's not forget the almost complete lack of hand-drawn animation in Gundam 00. I dread the day it gets a SRT spotlight.
i wonder how 00 will look , it really has a different look to it , its a HD computer animation , i wonder if it will fit in with all the others. i guess they could always edit the style a bit , i really hope it works out.
Banpresto has always been daring on its Nintendo handheld lineups so if Dairugger XV does make an SRW appearance, my bet its on a Nintendo handheld. Hopefully it comes with Sei Jushi Bismark (Saber Rider) too!
@srwboi Yeah, I know that. It's like when people call Hikaru Ichijo Rick Hunter or Gatchaman is called G-Force, people are familiar with what they know. So they will call it what they will call it, doesn't mean that a person is right or wrong.
Don't get me wrong guys I think the SRW series is awesome. I just wish the real ones would come out in English. Original Generation is not as awesome as the ones with all the robots and mechs from different anime.
I still think Gundam Wing could've been thrown out so that there would be room for Dairugger.
Then we could've had that one Voltron episode where both GoLion and Dairugger were in at once. Maybe when GoLion is in another game.
