Sorry I’ve been writing so much about SRW lately, but don’t blame me, I’ve caught the SRW fever and it can’t seem to stop! It really can’t get much more exciting than this, with just over a week left for the release of Dai-2-Ji Z for PSP, producer Takanobu Terada hinted that a new Super Robot Taisen title will be revealed after the release!!

Now this is really exciting news, we all know a SRW for ps3 has been a working title for a while, could this time finally be a PS3 release?? Lets not set our hopes too high as time and time again it turns out not to be the case, such as the announcement of SRW L for DS, then SRW Z for PSP. But NOW the spotlight could finally turn to the PS3! Again I’m just speculating here, though it’s highly possible, fingers crossed!

On another note, Banpresto and Bandai have apparently merged. Banpresto was the developer of the SRW series while Bandai did most of the gundam series. This could further hint that a PS3 SRW could very well be in production! And despite the merger, the SRW series will continue to carry the Banpresto label – which is awesome =), gota love that gundam visor logo!

Example of a gundam visor: below (see it now? >D)

After Spending over 2 hours translating and re-arranging the 118 track OG OST, I am 1 step closer to finish building my Ultimate SRW Soundtrack library! My eyes feel dizzy now, and I’ve only managed to upload disc 1 of 4. Still it’s a great effort. If you’re interested, head over to the music section and under Super Robot Taisen.

#UPDATE:

Disk 2 is now up! Added pilot/robot/theme information that corresponds to the music track. Also applied a new structured layout using the table approach for easier viewing =)

Dissidia 012 (sequel to Dissida) is finally out, and I finally have my hands on it! Having high expectations (as the first game was so good) I was really dying to play the game, and now…what do I have to say about it? 4 words – It is amazingly good! exceeded my expectations and for good reasons. First Yuna from FF10 is re-modelled in todays CG technology and she looks so good… Then there’s Lightning from FF13, enough said, Lightning is in the game. Hard to describe how good this is, watch the opening/into and you may get a glimpse why:



I also recently got this amazing Dissidia 012 poster. This was before I got the game so you could probably imagine how excited I was. It looks amazing on my wall, its about 1.8m x 1.2m.

After all that I haven’t really talked about the game, I might leave that for another entry =)

As I was one who grew up playing Final Fantasy, this game just brings back so much great memories. Makes me really glad to be born in this generation.

And before I go, I’d just like to share this awesome Dissidia soundtrack with you. Its Epicness on a whole different level.

Wow, things are actually progressing in this blog, big pat on the back to myself for staying committed =). Another massive overhaul, but this time to the gallery pages, making it much more hierarchical and organised as well as some really great features! Some new features include the addition of ‘albums’ which act kind of like categories. Not so effective at this stage as I only have 1 album called ‘Super Robot Taisen’ but hopefully more will be added. Another great feature is the use of breadcrumbs allowing for really easy navigation. Gota love breadcrumbs!

Again, all of this is to make the site more user-friendly moving forward. No point having content when its hard to find and access!

Along with these changes is an additional Super Robot Taisen artbook – Secret Hanger. This one’s amazing I have to say, it features hand drawn illustrations of pretty much every single original generation robot! yes that includes my beloved Alteisen, Weiss Ritter, Cybaster and Valsione. It’s also got some character drawings which I must say are pretty below standard in todays world. However the robots look absolutely awesome and so does this picture of Lune Zoldark! (pilot of Valsione).

Don’t be surprised if you see bizarrely strange things happening, such as the really ugly comments section =P. I’m working to give the back-end a major overhaul. It doesn’t look like much has changed, but I’ve spent nearly an entire day porting my layout over to a new template. This is one of the steps necessary to develop a more user friendly blog moving forward and also to unify the contents.

You’ll notice I’ve brought back some of the older pages (well were never gone in the first place) just lost somewhere in the blogosphere, and some updates in the ‘about’ page. There’s still lots of work to do, i’ll be updating it day-by-day, i’ll try not to slack off…like every other time, just look at my previous blog update entries lol…
