October 13, 2004 - A new Super Robot Taisen game is coming to the GameCube. Japanese publisher Banpresto revealed today a release date for the tentatively titled Super Robot Taisen GC. The game will hit the Japanese GameCube on 12/16, carrying a price of 8190 yen.
Perhaps even bigger than the game itself is the bonus item that a few lucky purchasers can win. Those who purchase Super Robot Taisen GC and register the game's serial number at Nintendo's Club Nintendo website will be placed in a drawing for one of 2000 copies of a Famicom Mini version of Dai-2-Ji Super Robot Taisen.
