I’m somewhat concerned that lumping all of these series in will negatively affect the plot. I think it would be hard to work Patlabor into SRW in an acceptable way without relegating it to a “backseat role”, and Patlabor’s a good series, so nobody wants that.
@Dancou-Maryuu On the other hand, OE may bring some interesting gameplay concepts to the table that evolved from NEO. This blogger had some interesting things to say on that subject. http://vanishingtrooper.wordpress.com/2012/05/31/super-robot-wars-neo-forgotten-gem-or-just-forgotten/
I really really hope this gets an actual physical release. I only say this because everything I’ve read concerning this game at present seems to indicate that its only going to be avaliable over PSN 🙁 I’ve wanted Zoids to be in SRW alot more ever since I saw Genesis in K, I’ll feel pretty bummed if those of us who import won’t be able to play this one at all 🙁
