Since we still got a full month to go before Banpresto's Super Robot Taisen W hits the shelves, we thought we'd try and help ease the pain by bringing you more game goodies to load up on.

So in light of this charitable act of ours, we're gonna share with you guys this gameplay vid we were able to score as a result of hours of hounding the net (or shall we say teh intarweb? Harhar). And if you're attentive enough, you'll probably catch Voltron making a cameo in the vid, as well as deduce some details on how easy setting up battle plans will be using the touch screen (you can drag and drop your units, for one).

We also heard from Siliconera that in Japan, pre-ordering the game will get you a card case with a little dangler strap so you can just let it dangle from your DS. So go on, hit the play button and watch them giant robots go mad. Kudos to vice1508 for posting this!

They're not lost in space, but they do seem to plan on beating the stuffing out of space aliens while they're there. Straight from Famitsu are new screens of Banpresto's Super Robot Taisen W, or Super Robot Wars W, featuring a family with their own bunch of robots, and a massive carrier to boot.

First off is the protagonist and his younger sister who, according to the translations online, are part of the Adeigan family. Kazuma and Mihiro Adeigan pilot the Real Robot known as Valhawk which, like Macross' Valkyries, transform for jet fighter to robot.

Next up is their big daddy and the some of the other members of the crew of the Valstork, the carrier for the Valhawk and other additional mechs your crew will eventually pick up. Blessfield Adeigan is the ship's captain and father to Kazuma and Mihiro. Along with him, but not pictured below are Shihomi and Akane Adeigan, ship operator and gunner, respectively. Lastly, the Valstork also has Horis Horaian, their quartermaster.

Of course, you're probably more interested in the new mechs, so who are we to stop you? Enjoy the new screenshots and pray it heads to America and the UK, alright? If you can translate it a bit more accurately for us, let us know as well. We'd love to hear from you.

Defenders of the Universe


The Japanese are famous for things like sushi, sumo wrestling, and giant mutated lizards, among other things. But they've got one specialty we all grew up with. Giant robots.

Yup, they've got hordes of Gundam, Nadesico, Mazinger Z, and Majinkaizer. And they are all coming to the DS. Super Robot Taisen W by Banpresto is literally a battle of giants as the robot characters slug it out in a strategy game. There will be characters from the different series joining the fray.

Voltron, Yuusha Ou GaoGaiGar, Gundam Seed Astray, and Detonator Orgun will make their respective debuts in this installment of the series.

Super Robot Taisen W will be out in Japanese stores on March 1. (Collective groan) We'll just have to wait and see if this will make it stateside. For the meantime, be happy with the knowledge that DS is region free.
