Super Robot Taisen OG Saga:Infinite Frontier (DS)

[sdragon21]

This game was just revealed in the current issue of famitsu. Not much is known about this game except that's it being devloped by monolith soft and banpresto.

More information is in the link from DS Fanboy

http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/01/09/famitsu-reveals-monolith-softs-new-super-robot-wars-game/

[Sanctine]

Ever since the extremely disappointing SRT:OG games on the GBA, I've practically lost interest in the whole series in its entirety.

However, I'd be willing to give this one a chance. My DS is lonely, and I have faith in the development team this time.

I just saw those scans. Actually, this looks really slick. Very surprising. Day one, for me.

[Sayckeone]

My DS is lonely,
There's really no reason for this.

EDIT: WTH is this? It looks nothing like SRT. I might give this one some thought, since the SRPGs are horrendous. Then again, Monolith Soft aren't exactly accomplished developers.

[Zantagor]

Misleading topic article.


This is a Namco X Capcom type of game, except that now it's a


Monolith X Banpresto one.

[Sayckeone]

That makes sense then. I had a feeling it wasn't SRT. OP is an idiot.

[Zantagor]

besides, I don't recognize any of the "originals" shown there.
So I don't know from which SRW they would be from.
only robot I recognize there is the Gespenst and I played pretty much all the SRW games already out.

[La Guna]

hmmm SRT OG + RPG^^
Sounds interesting, even if I prefer the Strategy Genre :wink:

[Roy_Brewer]

I think it'll be an interesting idea I wanted to play Namco X Capcom but I don't import so this should make me feel better about that situation.

[pancakesandsex]

1. This game looks terrible, and thats coming from a gigantic SRW fan.
2. The originals are all new, the robots seem to be a mix of new ones and old ones
3. Game takes place in some kind of offshoot multiverse, not the same universe as the GBA OG 1-2

1. Ouch
2. Double "Ouch" >.<
3. The only point who could be interresting

:(

[KaneBluriver]

Apparently, Kos-Mos (Xeno Saga Series), Xiaomu & Reiji (Namco x Capcom) has been announced to be playable.

Whether this is a good thing or not is still debatable but since Terada is supervising this along with the ex-Banpresto staff Morizumi being the director so it shouldn't be that bad.

Plus it should be alot easier to control there own characters than copyrighted characters such as the normal SRW series or Compatible World Series (Hero Senki, The Great Battle Series, Super Hero Sakusen, etc etc etc)

[randar23rhenn]

i would enjoy this game coming here but i doubt it will happen

[jj984jj]

I'm not sure why they're calling this SRW, I think it should have been given a little more effort and made into a new IP personally. Here's a new 11min. promo:
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm3083358 or

The animation looks really awesome, I hope if Atlus has the chance they bring it over here. The game comes out in Japan on May 29th.

[ZetaBladeX13]

I imported Namco X Capcom last year, and it kicked serious ass, so I give my support to this game :D

[Zeta_Nova]

Here's a new trailer for the game

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33661.html

[jj984jj]

There a new move on the website under Game Systems:

http://www.suparobo.jp/srw_lineup/srw_mugen/index.html

It's call Special Movie in that section. It seems T-Elos is in it too.

[randar23rhenn]

yeah I want this but i think it has virtually no chance of localization

[ZetaBladeX13]

yeah I want this but i think it has virtually no chance of localization

Seeing as how Namco X Capcom got shot down for localization, I must agree :(

but that doesn't mean that I'm gonna give up hope :D

[Shunyata]

It may look bad but it still sounds oh so fun. Plus since i heard that banpresto is developing a OG 3 for the DS i would assume if this got licensed we may see the light of day for OG 3.

[Magnvs]

I imported Namco X Capcom last year, and it kicked serious ass, so I give my support to this game :D
Probably you already know this, but a fantranslation of Namco X Capcom is about to be released for the joy of all ^^

If you like megamix games, don't miss Chaos Wars, it sports Shadow Hearts, Gungrave, Growlanser and Spectral characters, and it should be localized in June by O3. Beware of the Idea Factory haters however, they have hired snipers to eliminate any buyer :|

As a matter of fact I do, and frankly, I can't wait :D

Sounds pretty fun then XD
(although I might want to avoid said snipers >_>)

[Zantagor]

Well, the game is out in japan now, if it wasn't a pure RPG I'd be almost tempted to import it.

[Liquid Snake]

A cowboy + mecha? That has potential. I still wish the actual SRW games could get brought over here though, half the fun of them is using things from your favorite shows.

[Zantagor]

Actually had a quick whirl with the game, doesn't seem bad at all.

They recycled a lot of musics from robot wars, like Lamia's theme(Ash to Ash) among others.

Would be nice to have this game localized, though that's probably wishful thinking at this point knowing Namco ;) (and there's probably a bit too much fan service for a DS release by them)

[NuclearConvoy]

Are there any comprehensive reviews available for this game yet?

[Zeether]

It seems like none of the SRT games can get a license at all...
Same goes for the ACE series too :cry:

[Raidou11]

I doubt it will be localized, but SRT: Mugen no Frontier seems like an interesting game.

[Sseklebeast]

The new Issue of Play magazine has a preview of this game. According to them there should not be any licensing issues with this game. Pretty funny that they also called Atlus out telling them to bring this over here!:P

The game looks interesting and I'd definitely pick it up if it were localized.

[dorkatlarge]

I read that preview too. And then I thought, "hmm... I wonder how many people bought the two GBA games?" The SRW series has a loyal following...

[SRWplayer13]

It would be great if they did, but they will need Namco Bandai say to use their Characters for the game.

[Gamecube Ichiban]

I'd buy this

[Zachalmighty]

I wouldn't, just give us the OG's on the PS2.

[Devilbat]

Bandai Namco just recently registered the name:

http://www.siliconera.com/2008/09/25/will-endless-frontier-super-robot-taisen-og-saga-generate-raunchy-jokes-overseas/


So now it depends on who will publish it.


....Atlus?

[James Fiend]

I'm pretty sure the original OG games included a decent amount of breast jokes. Dunno why the reviewer in that link was so surprised.

[Sei]

Day One!

[Pixel]

I doubt registration with USPTO would make this a sure thing.

[jeffx]

Day One!

Real excited about this possibility, too.

[Pixel]

Hm, it looks like Eternal Poison was also registered at the USPTO by Namco Bandai Games Inc. Japan, so maybe this does mean something.

[Sanctine]

If this is true, I'm buying it.

[toszi]

"The new Issue of Play magazine has a preview of this game. According to them there should not be any licensing issues with this game. Pretty funny that they also called Atlus out telling them to bring this over here!"

Saw it and I agree! XD

[punkrocker_271]

Day one.

[Zeta_Nova]

Sure, I'd buy this.

It would be also a fresh start for the U.S. Seeing as they [Namco or Atlus] can sign on an "A+" dub studio and get credible voice actors.

Considering that SQUARE ENIX also saw the fact that fans of KH also wanted to try out KH -Re: Chain of Memories-. An international version of the GBA classic (aka; a true sequel to the original KH). Who knows, probably Namco or Atlus will also see that we want this that they will localize this.

[toszi]

0o
Bumpe~!

[Zeta_Nova]

What say you Atlus? Care to weigh your thoughts on this one?

[Onion of Mystery]

Not really, because no matter what we say, the mere presence of one of us in these threads equals confirmation in some people's addled minds.

Wait... Aw, crap!

[System_Error]

Tuesday confirmed huh Onion?

[dragonlife29]

Wait... Aw, crap!Infinite Frontier confirmed for North America, guys; we did it! :grouphug:

[Zeta_Nova]

You're not lying (or for that matter joking) are ya? Because I'm not falling for that joke like in the main Super Robot Taisen OG topic.

[System_Error]

Yes Joking. Jeez.

[unknown]

Or is he!? Duh Duh DUUUUH

[toszi]

<i>Not really, because no matter what we say, the mere presence of one of us in these threads equals confirmation in some people's addled minds.

Mind=BLOWN OVAH 9000000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!
WOOO

[System_Error]

toszi, do you really think Onion was serious? He wasnt.

[ReyVGM]

This game is pretentiously pretty.

[Sei]

Day one! Announcement next tuesday confirmed!

[Zeether]

Day one! Announcement next tuesday confirmed!
Oh you.

[Genjo]

i would buy OG in heart beat but i hope it comes with good bouns stuff like Atlus has been doing. :P

[Shunyata]

Oh Yea Baby Bring On The Big Breasted Heat!!!!!!!

[James Fiend]

i would buy OG in heart beat but i hope it comes with good bouns stuff like Atlus has been doing. :P

Forget the buns, I just want the game.

[Zeta_Nova]

Btw; I also tried this game through some *ahem* means (which I won't say). And it does seem like a perfect by. Because instead of a grid. Your people are placed in a 2D fighting plain (akin to that of Final Fight style). And man, the damage you can do, it's just insane.

[toszi]

Woooo-ahhh!!!!

[Constraint]

WHat announcement?

[DamnedToBeFree]

The announcement next Tuesday.

[jeffx]

by this post, I swear that I will buy this game at full price and not wait for the price drop that eventually befalls all of Atlus's DS games (except for EO1 maybe)

[Olethros]

The announcement next Tuesday.

Is that the one tomorrow, or the one the following week?

[Constraint]

The announcement next Tuesday.

Which is Trackmania Ds...

[Hossaria]

I wouldn't, just give us the OG's on the PS2.
That's right, if I'm not mistaken, this Infinite Frontier has not only KOS-MOS but also the main characters from Namco X Capcom.

[toszi]

I'm still holding out..
commeee onnnnn Atlusssssss~

[Boss_Tuff]

I agree on the holding out part...
I've been eagerly waiting for some sort of news on this

[Zeether]

A friend on MSN told me that Namco Bandai may be bringing it here, not Atlus.

[toszi]

?
Why them?
Xenosaga?

[Zeether]

Yeah, and the Namco X Capcom characters too.

[toszi]

makes sense...as long as it GETS HERE!

[toszi]

Still holding...ooooooo~n!!!

[jj984jj]

This is on amazon.ca too. (http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=super+robot+taisen+og+saga&x=0&y=0) I have to give the credit to Siliconera (http://www.siliconera.com/2009/01/27/incoming-flood-of-atlus-game-leaks/) for this one though, I was searching for OGs not this.

[Olethros]

^ NNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much good news, then this? Ughh.

[jeffx]

IMHO this is great news.

[jj984jj]

^ NNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much good news, then this? Ughh.
Dokapon Journey is good news? :p

It doesn't really matter, Raidou 2 w/ plushie + Devil Survivor + KitN make up for it imo.

[DamnedToBeFree]

this is terrible news.


:agree:

[Boss_Tuff]

IMHO this is great news.

I completely and totally agree, now it's time to wait for the official Atlus Faithful announcement.

[SickleCellAnemia]

NNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

[cj iwakura]

Apparently, Kos-Mos (Xeno Saga Series), Xiaomu & Reiji (Namco x Capcom) has been announced to be playable.


I wasn't interested until now.

[Zachalmighty]

Why Did You Localize This Crap And Not The Ps2 Games!

[Onion of Mystery]

Why Did You Localize This Crap And Not The Ps2 Games!

I'm really liking your optimism.

[B.K.]

Now that you somehow managed to get Bandai Namco to let you do this game, you need to get working on getting hold of Xenosaga I&II. ;)

[jj984jj]

Now that you somehow managed to get Bandai Namco to let you do this game, you need to get working on getting hold of Xenosaga I&II. ;)

I don't know if you realized it but Atlus only localizes games from the Banpresto label, they've been doing it for a long time now and have been continuing even though Bandai decided to restructure when they took over Namco. I doubt we'll be seeing any actual Namco games anytime soon.

[Omatic]

Reading about this coming to the U.S. put a healthy slathering of Atlus brand Awesomesauce on my day. Those who nay-say the game can simply not play it after they buy it.

[Juanblue85]

Why Did You Localize This Crap And Not The Ps2 Games!

ouch dude way to slap atlus on the face because they didn't get what you wanted. Just accept what you get or we might as well get nothing at all.

[Olethros]

^ NNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dokapon Journey is good news? :p

It doesn't really matter, Raidou 2 w/ plushie + Devil Survivor + KitN make up for it imo.

Both are excellent points.

I really like it too :<

[Zeta_Nova]

*in TWYEWY's Beat's voice* Cool beans dude ^^! I didn't think that you had it in you :). But now, I'm glad that we seem to be gettin' somewhere with this title. Which various sites have stated that you guys have secured the rights to this game and the Devil Survivor game.

Though, instead of IF. It's been dubbed; Endless Frontier.

[Constraint]

I'm pretty sure were gonna get more games this year than the ones listed.

[slayn]

But how many of those games will be SRT/SRW games?

I'm guessing none.

[Olethros]

But how many of those games will be SRT/SRW games?

I'm guessing none.

:agree:

[Zeta_Nova]

Other than the Endless Frontier game having a possible release of mid-April. I also bet none. Because it's kinda difficult getting those licenses. It'd be nice though if it was only SRT OG. As they have original characters & mechs.

[Onezanagi]

I'd really like it if this game came to the U.S. It looks awesome.

[Philemon]

I hope that if they are dubbing the game, that they use KOS-MOS and T-elos's VAs from Xenosaga Episode III :D

[sonicfan1012]

uhh i'm not sure if i should really be saying this but...
this game isnt worth ALL this hype. I've already played it and it was a lot like Namco X Capcom minus the srpg. You basically press a button and you perform a whole series of attacks, and you can use up to 5 at a time. if this sounds really great, well it gets really repetitive and you would definitely tired from seeing the animations, even though they are really cool (unless you are like me and don't mind repetition). I like the game, but its not THAT great. Oh and by the way, you barely control mechs in the game. :tongue:

[toszi]

AWESOMESAUCE, ONION!!!

Hmm, I wouldn't say it's as bad as you're making it sound.
True, one button is really all you need to attack.
However, it requires quite a surprising amount of strategy. Pressing the attack button at
the right time yields F-Gauge %points and continues a combo which counts for more damage.
And every attack has its own frame of switch so you have to practice enough to know where it is.
I have to add, the battle animations and character profile art are amazing! But the world map and world map sprite looks like a bad 90's game.
I've never been into SRW as much as the other members here so I don't miss the lack of controlling mechs in this game (though one of my favorite characters uses one in a very unconventional way).
The ultimate attacks are very flashy and there's a few seconds of anime-ish scene in every attack or special skill used. I'm not sure how far in I am in the Jp version, but I don't think you receive other ultimate attacks, but you do learn skills.


P.S.
Personally, I'm hoping the U.S. release can have the AWESOME bosses as playable characters! They all have their own ultimate attacks and anime scenes!
Please add a secret dungeon or something to get them! :C

[Zeta_Nova]

Sonic, that's a matter of your opinion. Because personally, almost everybody here is welcoming the idea of this game.

And, I don't think it's quite that simple either, dispite that yes, you only press one button to attack (well, you also press "one" button to attack in the SRT games as well). As toszi said, there's quite some strategy that's also put into this game. You don't just attack straight out, but you can find what attacks works best with the current battle situation.

Add in the juggling combo for major damage.

Personally, I'm hoping the U.S. release can have the AWESOME bosses as playable characters! They all have their own ultimate attacks and anime scenes!
Please add a secret dungeon or something to get them!

Yeah, that'd be cool :). Then they'ed have a story of their own as well. Along with the heroes.

[Sei]

DAY ONE! :)

Now the PS2 OG's and I can die happy.

[Olethros]

^ Is that REALLY all it would take? No other hopes and dreams? Nothing else you personally want to achieve in life? :confused:

[Inzaghi]

Another one bites the dust.
