Super Robot Wars
Super Robot Wars is a video game franchise developed by Banpresto. The majority of the titles are strategy games that bring robots from various anime and manga together, the most notable being those from Mobile Suit Gundam, Getter Robo and Mazinger Z. The first installment was released in 1991 for the Nintendo Game Boy. There are currently over 30 titles for various platforms with more in development. Beginning with Super Robot Wars II, Banpresto began adding characters and mechs of their own creation to the games. The first of these would be Masaki Andoh and his mech, Cybuster. Since then, the amount of Banpresto originals grew to the point where they received their own games without any licensed material. The games' popularity grew and in 1999 a TV anime series based on Cybuster was created. In 2005 and 2006, an OVA and TV series were created based on the Original Generation line of games. The Original Generation 2 game has also been adapted into an anime, Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector. Because of licensing issues, most Super Robot Wars games are unavailable in North America and most likely never will be. The Cybuster TV series, Original Generation OVA and Divine Wars have all been released in the U.S. Cybuster has been re-licensed by Discotek Media, while the OG OVA and Divine Wars have been re-licensed by Media Blasters.
