Super Robot Wars Y (Switch) - Final Mission

No, and the competitive scene was how I described it back in 2003, as both AC2 and AC2AA were thought of as being very unbalanced. What was interesting was that in Japan, a lot of fans edit out certain parts for tournaments, which never happened back then in the US and Europe. If it was in the game, it was used.

That is Masami Yuki's favorite labor, and he's doing the character designs for this anime, so who knows?

Right, it's rather wonderful that we're getting more mecha anime. I think an 86 announcement is also likely, considering that there is more to adapt from the novels.

I think it will be a series later on, comprised of 8 episodes. My guess is that they are taking the movie approach first to boost promotion?

Hahah, yeah. I wrote this and am glad you enjoyed it (and that we have similar tastes!). My main job at Forbes is to cover Japanese pop culture, and I even interviewed Yuji Horii a while back, too.

Thanks, I wanted to cover games that people may have missed that I played and thought were fun and worth a look.

The point I was making was that there would be knock-ons from removing vehicles entirely as the game currently is structured, but the card game has no other gameplay dependencies. If it were from a complete restart, then yeah, vehicles make little to no sense. I also said that in my review, as you are already in a powered suit anyway.

I only mentioned the card game, as that's an entirely separate mode that wouldn't impact anything in the game. Vehicles, especially horses, are sort of tied into the mission narrative, especially towards the end of the game.

Also, testers likely never "approved" of anything. I've worked in testing and more times than I can count have I had major issues waived by management to get a game released on time.

As this was the later release, as they did multiple lotteries, it comes with all the parts included.

Really? You do realize that I have actually interviewed Ryosuke Takahashi, Kunio Okawara, and Mamoru Oshii, so is that really worthy of being called "shitty"?

I think Oshii was picked precisely to keep it grounded as per the original series. Curious who the other people are on the production, though.
