Games still coming out for PS2. Amazing.

I disagree.  I mean... the Dreamcast just had a game released last march.

lol, I just did a search on the GC and 360 ones. Didn't know they existed lolz. I would buy the GC one...if it wasn't in Japanese :( I would buy a Japanese game if I knew WTF they were saying and could read stuff :P lol, I should learn Japanese. And I'm not sure if the GC is region locked... :3

Once one comes to the Wii, I hope it's localized :3 Like they could so something similar to the DS one. Like add some characters us people in the West would know like KOS-MOS, etc. And get Monolith Soft to help.

 Yeah, i don't think it's the characters thing that holds them back so much as the many many anime liscenses.  I believe they get them for cheap in local japanese use because it's huge among the Mecha fans and really can drive up sales of new anime they may have missed.

In America a lot of those Anime don't exist.  So if they wanted to bring one over outside of the OG series they'd have to  focus almost exclusivly one Anime that exists or previous existed in the US.

Which leaves a problem with the lack of really knowable Super Robots.  I mean, I can only think of two robots decently big in the US.  Big O and Voltron, and Voltron was completely reedited to where the personalties of the Go Lion! team are a bit different then the Voltron team.

Interesting thing is that new DS one that's going to be more RPG then SRPG is that it's probably they're most expensive project to date...  I mean the rest of the SRW games i'd guess are easy and cheap to make once you get your liscensing down then decide what to do from a concept stage story wise.

So i'd almost definitly expect a US release on that.

Nope. They have a game on gamecube and PS2 as well. They just program best on the NAOMI architecture, being former arcade developers. Which is still used today for some Arcade games.

They're looking to re-release their best game on the Wii with some others, they wanted a GC release that wii owners could buy but couldn't get interest from US buyers.

If i were them i'd try to port it as a downloadble game.
