Well. I would NOT have expected this. But considering how much I love the Masou Kishin sub-series, I'll definitely buy it!
Third game in a sub-series that has never seen a localized release...and SRW OG itself hasn't seen a proper English release since back in the GBA era.
Sadly...I wouldn't hold your breath.

Licensing, licensing, licensing! ;( It's what makes me cry myself to sleep at night.

Fuck yeah. This is gonna be a mecha gaming summer. Gundam Breaker in June and Masou Kishin in August.
As for licensing, I think 2nd OG had a better chance than Masou Kishin.

1%, on the account that this is mostly Original-based.

Another Masou Kishin, and for the PS3? I guess the PS4 will be out before we finally get an HD mainline SRW.
Masou Kishin usually uses a different sprite style, so I hope that means they won't just reuse the OG2nd sprites, but considering how long OG2nd took to make I'm thinking they're gonna recycle.

Licensing probably wouldn't be biggest problem, but the chances are likely still low. This is the third entry, so one of the biggest questions would be how much could be understood without the first two.

Meh, I can't stand OG. =/
Good for the folks that do like it, though.

There are no licensing issues with these games. Just the games that pull units from anime and other licensed media. The OG games and these games are all original stuff.

Most of these games seemed like giant crossovers to me :O

I'll take what I can get in HD at this point.
Most of them are giant crossovers. It's just this belongs to the OG subsection of the series which has no external licenses.

The majority of them are.
The OG series has a much more limited line up, though it's the only one on PS3 with OG 2nd and now this.
Still the bulk of the games are Anime cross overs, which is what I play. Honestly the OG stuff has zero appeal to me since I don't play the games for story, and just for my favorite robots wrecking shit.
3D battle scene? That's....um interesting.

That's how Masou Kishin games are.
Oh hey Neo Granzon. I guess it should show up later in the 1st game, but I didn't finish it. So it's new to me!
Doesn't look very good IMO, except for the finishers. It looks like it still uses that weird style of 3D models being used like 2D sprites. After the animation bump they got the Elemental Lords got in 2nd OG, this kind of hurt my eyes... Different style I know, but still.
But anyway, I always loved the Masou Kishin characters in the OG-verse so it looks like this is the right time for me to play the first two games. I actually played the first one up til the end of part one, just to get the backstory of Masaki&co before the main OG story kicked off, but kind of forgot to played the remaining part after that lol
It's funny, I thought the same way at first but now the OG mecha are my favorites.
Except Gaogaigar of course but it really wasn't in enough SRW games.
I've only ever like 1 OG, the rest I think are garbage.
Nothing comes close to Grendizer or Getter Dragon. Though I would have forced myself to buy 2nd OG if it would've had Rand and Gunlion.

Well, as one of the 5 masoukishin fans out there, I'm overjoyed. Hell, I'll probably double dip.

I'll probably end up getting it on the vita. No need to wait for shipping and after seeing that PV I can't imagine there will be a huge difference in quality.

Didn't really know where to put this, but...
Operation Hot Blood of facebook and my own, Operation Original Generations, are petitioning for the localization of the Original Generation series of mech RPG games. Its been a few years since Atlus localized the original OG games for the Gameboy Advance. We aren't looking to maliciously demand that these games be localized by Namco Bandai, instead we simply wish to show Namco Bandai that there is a market for these types of games in North America and Europe.
So far, we've posted the petition to Facebook, Twitter, smaller forums (Atlus USA's forum, the-magicbox, and Xseed's forums).
I've included the link after the break..

The task is to get enough signatures so Operation Rainfall can help us out.

Aside from starting a new thread (which is probably the right idea), the best place is here:
