I sincerely hope they Banpresto (part of Namco Bandai) will consider bringing SRW games to the west. I am ready to get the SRW A remake for PSP from Japan this summer and I would rather have an English version. I personally think the reason they don't want to release SRW games here is the lack of market for this sereis. I am not sure if the audience would feel "connected" to the game 'cause a lot of the rotbot cartoons have never been aired in NA. SRW series are excellent games to me, but if you take away the robots you are familliar with, they are just like other SRPG, nothing too special. The list of robots shown in the game is a critical factor of my purchase. That's why I am not a big fan of OG series, even though everyone says they are great. What do you guys think?

I really like the battle system myself. The different weapons, parts, robots...etc are all great. The New Game+ functionality that was in both the OGs made it fun to replay them as well as still challenging (only 70% was carried forward IIRC).
I've seen quite a few mecha anime, but I'm sure that I wouldn't recognize even 70% of all the mechs in SRW so it's mostly all new to me. In fact, I think a lot of the OG mechs look better than actual anime mechs (of which many older ones look really dorky).
