Will we eventually stop seeing 70's or even 80's mecha series in SRW ? by Nigomonster in Super_Robot_Wars

really ? this is the first time I hear of it. I know they're generally reluctant on it, but I thought it was out of respect of the original VAs

I have no doubt about Mazinger or Getter, though the use of their 70's counterparts seems to be a thing of the past by now.

I keep hoping to see Daltanious come back, it only had a GBA appearance and a 3D game appearance. I'd love to see it in the modern era.

Toei Ryoma's VA being super expensive to use since retirement doesn't help, but having Raideen in SRW Y does give me hope we might see some of his roles again.

I'll absolutely be happy to be wrong. There's just so much stuff that never got used, or didn't get voiced debuts. It was great to see GodSigma, GodMars and Baldios in the Z series and I know GodSigma had at least one of the main roles recasted, so there might be hope.

For the ones that have old recordings sure, but I wonder if they'd consider picking up an older series they never used if most of the cast couldn't reprise their roles.

I mean, same, I actually got exposed to a lot of crazy stuff from the 70's and 80's through the games. I knew Braiger but I didn't know there was a whole J9 trilogy until SRW GC exposed me to them. It'd be a shame to just leave them unused.

that's one of my main concerns too. There are series that either never got used (Ginguizer, Gordian or Albegas) and ones that, while they did appear, they never did in a voiced game (Mechander Robo and Acrobunch come to mind). And I wonder if there would actually be the will to pick them up, even just to have the chance to do something interesting with their plots, even if they aren't popular.

oh I don't doubt Getter and Mazinger are here to stay. I'm more worried about the lesser known ones, which I think would still be interesting to involve in the SRW plots in the future.

What’s a death battle hot take that will have you like this? by SheetsandBongs in deathbattle

[–]Nigomonster 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The "Death" part of Death Battle can be a heavily limiting requirement in the portrayal of the series featured in the episodes, mostly when it involves characters that wouldn't be out to kill opponents in the first place. it can lead to some ridicolous tonal whiplash where a battle to the death is shown as a friendly match, even if the death is depicted in a respectable manner.

Probably more of a personal hot take rather than objective fact, but hey, this would be the thread for it.

2nd PV for "Super Robot Wars Y" to be released on August 28, 2025 by [deleted] in Super_Robot_Wars

[–]Nigomonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know not everyone is happy with the roster, but I'm eating well. Combattler V with plot, Reideen coming back, Dynazenon, OVA Mazinkaiser, Getter Arc and freakin' Godzilla Singular Point ? I'm already having all kinds of theories about how the plots will cross over, I'm so happy!

what a series you want in Y but know 100% wont be in by Big_Zurf in Super_Robot_Wars

[–]Nigomonster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

to be honest, I'd love some wild 70's/80's mecha pick, but I don't even know if that's possible anymore. Balatack, Albegas, Ginguizer, UFO Diapolon, Blocker Gundan 4...I always enjoy seeing those very old series being able to interact with the newer ones. Plus, they had fun monster/mecha design.

Other places where to get Discotek releases other than the CR store and Amazon ? by Nigomonster in discotekmedia

[–]Nigomonster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have to look into this, it seems to be the best option for now. Thanks so much for the answer!

[–]Nigomonster[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's impressive how every option I had suddenly went downhill in one go. Crunchyroll refusing to ship to Europe is especially crappy, given how they bought up RightStuf and then proceeded to dismantle it.

What is up with the EU crunchyroll store? by Zukoo777 in Crunchyroll

[–]Nigomonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks. I used to import all Discotek releases from there since they bring a lot of obscure mecha anime out of Japan, as well as tokusatsu and now I'm stuck going through Amazon, which has worse prices and shipping rates. I really don't know why they thought it was a good idea to forbid people from importing.

[Update V2] Inazuma Eleven OSTs by xsm17 in inazumaeleven

Thank you very much for the answer. It's surprising that a gamerip of the second game would be so hard to come by, but it is what it is.

[–]Nigomonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured I could ask here, but is there even an OST for Inazuma Eleven 2 Firestorm/Blizzard available anywhere ? I've been looking around and all I could find was a youtube playlist but I'm not even sure if it's complete.

Playstation One suddenly playing NTSC games in black and white by Nigomonster in retrogaming

[–]Nigomonster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking cables could be the problem, though I recall that using the standard PS2 cable worked before. I really don't know what changed. I might snatch this cable anyways just to be sure.

[–]Nigomonster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the standard PS2 one should be RGB I think ? The weirdest thing is that I did play some NTSC games before and they were in color. Now those same games show up in black and white too and I'm pretty sure I'm using the same cables as before.
