First things first, let’s get in some new characters for Infinite Battle.

Another PV, and a whole new cast of characters to be introduced into this game. First up is Lune Zoldark, pilot of the Valsion R. Logically she would be more of a long ranged character that might punch you…sometimes, but her robot was known more for looking kinda messed up, so she might be a little limited. Next is Irm Kazahara, pilot of the Grungst Kai. He would logically be more of a slow tank, what with the long rocket punch and giant sword. After that we have Seolla Schweizer, pilot of the Wild Falken. She should be a more mobile heavy hitter. Sort of a glass tank in the style of Akuma, if Akuma were a several story tall robot with laser swords.

The next two go hand in hand if you know their backstory. First is Leona Garnstein, pilot of a generic lion mech. She would be a faster robot with a bit of strength. She’s likely to be very balanced. Our last introduction is a big deal though. It’s time for Ratsel Feinschmecker, aka Elzam V. Branstein, pilot of the Aussenseiter. He would be a bit of a trick character since the Aussenseiter can turn into a horse. Aside from that though, he could be a long ranger with the occasional “ram gun into enemy’s face” attack.

That’s quite the introduction of characters we have there. I wasn’t really expected either Irm or Seolla since their fairly unnotable compared to many others, but maybe this is just a sign as to how many characters we’ll eventually get.

This is apparently being paraded around as an introduction video to the game. I’m not quite sure what they mean by that since it clearly wouldn’t be an opening cinematic, but it’s still cool all the same. The most notable part of this would be the two characters they introduce in the middle, Serena and Arbaad (I’m not sure about that translation). I don’t know much about the characters themselves, but it is always nice to see more characters added to the OF repertoire.

The other aspect of this that caught my eye was the section that showed what happened at the end of OG Gaiden. This leads me to believe that this game will elaborate on the trials Shu had to go through to resurrect himself after he was killed. If I’m right, then good. However, this is only speculation, and I may be wrong in the long run.

2nd Super Robot Wars OG First Videos.

With all this Jojo’s news going around lately, It’s almost like we’ve forgotten about our favorite super robot genre. Can’t have any of that, so I’m glad to announce that 2nd Super Robot Wars Original Generations has been released today.

As some of you may know, the Original Generations was a spin off series made entirely about the original characters that Banpresto has made in the Super Robot Wars series. It was basically Banpresto saying, “Liscense Getter Robo? Nah. We have all the robots we need.”

A lot of important headliners are returning for OG2 including personal favorite Kyosuke Nanbu (voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa) piloting his Alt Eisen.


I don’t think anything will ever top the way he segues into Revolver Bunker a the end.

With the game released today, we have a whole mess of new gameplay footage. Unfortunately, we can’t embed them because the site doesn’t have the code and they’re up to a massive 11 hours long. Each.

(Thanks to the Super Robot WarZ blog for the video links.)

These behemoth videos do have a lot of downtime in them, but they do show a large part of the game. Most gameplay aspects are kept intact, and the battle system works the same way as it did in OG Gaiden. But do you come to Super Robot Wars for the intense strategy? Well, maybe, but I think we can all get behind Banpresto’s awesome battle animations.


The best method of attack, never stop hitting the enemy.

This is the G Compatible Kaiser’s Rival, G Bankaran. He sure knows how to Fist of the North Star his way through a robot. It helps that he does it while holding the other robot up by the neck, making it even more awesome.

If you want to keep up with the all attacks videos that are sure to come out, you can follow their release at BassGSnewtype’s youtube channel.
