Why did robotech never get a decent game?

The two 6th gen games are fine. Admittedly not masterpieces, but I would at least qualify them as decent.

>> No.5994203

>>5994189
Probably because Robotech was an american made-up series combining 3 different anime, Macross got some good games, best one probably being Scrambled Valkirye.
By the way, I think the N64 Robotech beta was dumped some time ago, I still never tried it, looks good.

>> No.5994215

>>5994203
I know the history of the show, and scrambled valkirye was boring and repetitive, not that you can expect much out of an nes game with that subject material. I’ll check out that 64 beta though.

We're getting a new Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru, also known here by Keith Courage because they tried to localize that 1 Genesis game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp-eeqPhWE0

Theres a new SD Gundam anime and SD Gunlander in Build Fighters Re:Arise

Granbelm was a surprising good SD Wataru + Madoka/BRS show that came out of nowhere because they wanted to do a 2D robot show.

Do you make a distinction between mecha and giant robots?

Can anyone help identify a game I've played in the arcade in 1995 I believe?
It were two giant mech cockpits, back to back. The dominant colors were white and blue, and I remember large speakers integrated in to the seat. There were no hydraulic effects or anything.
The style was flat-shaded polygons and you fought inside a large arena with trenches and barricades.

Honestly, i just randomly picked up SRW because i had a PSP and the games for that were recommended by someone, i wasn't even really into Mecha anime, never even saw Gundam or Evangelion, after playing MX Portable, the Z games...and A Portable, i wanted more and i actually started looking at mecha anime.

SRW may not be the deepest series out there, but even without knowing japanese, it's a lot of fun and introduces people to a ton of series, i swear, if not for SRW, i wouldn't have known that OP posted a picture of Daitarn 3.
