Monster Hunter 4
- New area is an ancient forest.

New weapon is called a charge axe
- Can be separated into a sword and shield that allows for quick, consecutive attacks.
- Charge energy that's stored up via attacks. Combine the sword and shield to charge.
- Energy is stored in a bottle on the sword's hilt. Once it begins to glow yellow it can be charged. Continue to attack after the bottle starts to glow yellow and eventually it'll begin to glow red, which charges even more energy.
- Also has an axe mode that has a long reach and great power. Can unleash attributive attacks with charged energy, as well (meaning, like, lightning, water, etc.).
- Axe mode has a finishing technique that requires additional button input? (QTE?), which can stun enemies.
- Can also attack while transforming the charge axe into its axe mode, or vice-versa (transforming from axe mode to sword/shield mode).

Too bad Famitsu doesn't count for Metacritic, because I'm fairly certain that's the highest score it's gotten, lol.

Ugh, a Super Robot Wars for the 3DS. Well, I knew it was coming, but it still hurts. :\

All the DS Super Robot Wars games were standalone, so this most likely is too.

Demonbane, Sokyu no Fafner Heaven and Earth, Wings of Rean, Fei Yin HD (from Virtual On), Mobile Suit Gundam 00 A wakening of the Trailblazer, SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors, Mazinkaiser SKL, Heroman.

Got this off Google as for the new Cast additions. Hope that shit is wrong because damn it sucks.

That and I fully expected OO Movie and SKL to be introduced in a mainline game like Z.

Still the it will be the returning cast that makes or breaks my purchase. All I need is one out of 4, but I gota feeling none of them will be in it.

Fafner and 00 movie are the worst offenders here.

We couldn't even get Project X Zone, after SRW OG 1 on DS failing we will likely never get another agian.

Honestly I can't say I'm bothered by this though, Monolith's SRW's are kinda wack and I find OG's to be boring and lame.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Charge Axe sounds like something I'd use but it's perhaps a fluff weapon that isn't necessary or potentially makes other weapon types unnecessary (ie why go for a less versatile real sword and shield that doesn't have the merged mode which I imagine makes it more powerful when power is what sword and shield lacks, or also why go for a longsword which can't block at all when the Charge Axe has a similar charged special etc). Also, why is it another axe, why not something more unique. It basically sounds like another throwaway addition that while it could be enjoyable may not be great enough to make the cut for future games once re-evaluated unless they come up with a cool way to differentiate the moves and strategies available in each mode.

The Super Robot Taisen game for DS America got was one with no licenses involved, since it featured original robots. No SRT title with licensed characters has ever made it outside Japan.

It would take a miracle several times greater than that of Tatsunoko vs Capcom for a licensed Super Robot Wars game to come out in English. It aint 0%, but it may as well be.

And it was a spinoff game too that wasn't really anything like Super Robot Wars.

Haha ^_^ well it is one of the major reasons I joined Neogaf and thats to try my best to voice how great Japanse games are and how much I want them over here. I hated that period of anti-japan that was going around and I'm hoping that goes away.

I hope the Demonbane manages to achieve its full-fledged multi-dimensional broken glory.

...for some reason, I'm doubting that'll be the case.

Was that Unit or it's story line there? I don't know if they would seperate it like that though.

Still after Icezer and some of these newer adds lik Brave Battle Warriors and Heroman I'm wanting my KnM damn it Banpresto.

Quality and being well known is no longer really needed to get into these bad boys.

Fei Yen from both VO:OT and Marz was in there, if I recall correctly.

I'm guessing this is the Force plot? (I have no idea, haven't gotten to play Force yet)

Edit: Well, I'm off, Marz is essentially Force.

I'm not sure what's going on at all then.

OG1 was for the GBA, not the DS.

That 3DS SRW game doesn't sound too hot TBH (not mainline + meh series). That said, I wasn't expecting a mainline entry on 3DS, considering what they did on DS.
And if it had sounded cool, I guess I'd have been annoyed by that stupid region locking anyway.

What are people thinking in terms of sales? It is launching with a special edition console.

Really depends on what else is coming back along side the new units. Outside of OO, Kaizer and maybe one or two others I don't see anything that would drive people to it.

Is it going to look good? Is it going to be near SRW Z or is it going to be a SRW W/L/K level game?

SRWZ 2.1 and 2.2 did well but nothing amazing, and while that can explained because they split up the game, I still have a hard time seeing this one do remotely as close to them, even less so if this one is as clearly side game as W/K/L was.

Even G Gen 3D got a speical edition console and it didn't do that well. I fully expect this to do better then that, but less my guess is maybe half of SRW Z2.1/2.2.

But "non-mainline" SRW games are awesome. W was great with it's cast and ultimately broken final upgrade and dynamic kills up the wazoo. NEO has the best changes to the normal SRW formula and had the sound team from GC, meaning NEO's soundtrack was 2nd to none alongside an entire cast list made up of Supers. J was the culmination of all their hard work on the GBA and that was their final amazing gift to the system.

But as for now UX sounds a little small for my liking.

Oh man, I am wholeheartedly looking forward to the Iwata's Ask for this. If he did one for PxZ, there is absolutely no reason he wouldn't do one with Terada.

I don't remember Endless Frontier failing, though. I believe it did pretty well.

In NA? It was so bad they decided to not bring the sequel over and we have never heard of anyone trying to bring over Project X Zone.

Everything I've read has said that Enless Frontier tanked hard.

Yes, in NA. I remember it doing quite well, and people wondering why the sequel didn't get localized because of that. Weird.
