The 3DS will most likely get one before the vita, I believe one was named in one of the lists of games being developed for the 3DS. Would blow my mind if during the 20th anniversary event they show 2nd OG gameplay/release date, show a 3DS SRW game, and a new PV for 2nd Z Saisei-hen.

Uh, the naked eye can see scanlines
From tryIng out various 2d psp games on vita, I can vouch that they upscale very nicely with better color and black level.
And I don't know what you mean by hurting projects to rush them for Vita. The DS srw team is likely making a 3ds one right now and maybe after saisei-hen, that team will start on a vita srw. Gamers should want a srw for vita since it's the best fit for handheld srw games with it's amazing screen that makes 2d games look incredible.

Well it would be nice to have a Vita SRW game because the gradients in Z2 are rather noticeable if you don't use the PSP color space.

I picked up copies of Super Robot Taisen Original Generation and Original Generation 2 the other day; I've been meaning to try out this part of the series for some time now, and I figured that those games would be a good place to start.
The mechanical designs are quite nice, and I like the fact that they're treated more like equipment when customization is involved - although I feel like constantly swapping parts on each map might get old very quickly, and I'm only on Episode 7 in the first game. Not too crazy on buying pilot abilities with points, though, but I figure that's just a more modern thing that I didn't really get exposed to in SRW J, Z, D or Alpha Gaiden.
I was told that the OG series was more like a side-story to the main Super Robot Wars games, and I've noticed that the OG characters pop up in the mainline stuff. But has the plot of any of these games actually been used as the basis for a main SRW game, or is it more like "Oh, btw, this is what Ryusei and Co. were up to in between the last game and the one coming up"?

The OG games are a mixture of several of the OG characters' stories from all the other SRW games, along with some new characters, and somewhat completely different storylines for many other OG characters.

I see. Thanks for the info! I'll have to check out some of the earlier SRW games once I make it past OG1 at least.
Also, news from TeraadaaaaaaAAAAAAAAA :
http://blog.spalog.jp/?eid=863520
- He can't really say anything about whatever Vita title that's coming out. It's way too early and there's Z2-2 and OG2nd to look forward to anyway;
- OG2nd will retain the weapon select system, but fixed weapon all upgrade together.

Give us a 2nd SRW OG release date. PLEASE!!
Damn it, someone needs to bitch at this man till he puts Gren back in.
Not surprised at the Vita response though I can't wait to seed both 3D/Vita SRW's.
3 days...

Let's hope so. Fortunately my pre-order with Play Asia is only $80 as the yen wasn't uber crazy yet.
Yeah the Daitarn/Zambot/Trider team attack looks pretty cool. I would choose that over the Obari special, if only for my hatred of the source material.

Its 10:35am in Tokyo right now...
12 noon and 5 pm, Japan time, is what I heard.... so I would assume we're gonna start hearing stuff about it in about an hour or so?

So.... anything? 3:38pm in Japan, so maybe in 80 minutes.
A lot of contradicting reports everywhere, we're better off waiting for the PV to be leaked or simply put online (though the official one won't have the series BGM...)
Meanwhile, this was broadcasted during Gundam Age: http://nicoviewer.net/sm17287333

Personally, I don't really care about Sasai-hen info at this point. I mean what's the point in spoiling all the good stuff when you're going to be playing it in like 3 weeks? They've really waited until the last minute to media blast this game, and it just seems a bit silly.
Anyhow, I was under the impression that it was more than a Saisei-hen event and there would be 2nd OGs stuff? Not seeing any mention at all of 2nd OGs at the event Was hoping for a new trailer and a release period.

Was hoping for a new trailer and a release period.While I don't have info from the event, apparently a 2nd commercial for SRWz2.2 came out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5edtTevI0E
Notable stuff:
Possible double Dabcougar/Dancougar Nova attack? (Shinobu character portrait shown, but its Dancougar Nova?)
Shin Mazinger's uber gold god fist attack Big Bang Punch
Pretty much everything in the commercial was new (new attacks, etc).
New JAM Project theme song, Hagane no Resistance
Update: Take the following w/ a grain of salt, but: http://uminisoso.blog136.fc2.com/blog-entry-37.html
Cut and past translation from /m/:
That's more or less the first part of that blog post translated. The 2nd part of the blog post, I assume is the music they played during the concert at the event? It mentions a couple of SRW theme songs, like the Great Mazinger, Combattler V and Jeeg themes.

At this point, I'm questioning the validity of 2nd OG's existence.
Reports indicate that the Shin Liger popping up seemed like it was part of a Shin Dragon attack. This is leading some to believe that you wont actually be able to transform into Shin Liger, just use it as part of an attack. Hopefully this wont be the case, but we really won't have to wait long to find out, just a few more weeks.
Another update: the PV that will be released to the public will technically not be the one that was shown at the event. Apparently, the Event PV had the full CG Intro, and the BGMs for each character's attack.
The public PV will have edited CG Intro, and it won't have the BGMs playing for each attack.
- It also was confirmed that we finally get "Happily Ever After" for Gurren Langann. Woohoo.
- Z1 protags have new attacks
- setsuka will have Valgora, Rand will have Gunleon
- Destroy Gundam apparently shows up.
- at the end of the PV, either a secret unit was shown, or a code about a secret unit was shown (i'm getting conflicting reports). Intel indicates that the code is: "xx - x9" Where all we know is that there's a "dash" and a "9" in the name of the unit, the x's being unknown characters.
Kinda disappointed if Shin Liger and Shin Pos are just attacks for Shin Dragon.
Granted Shin Getter is certainly the one most would care about, but still it sucks for me because I far prefer the Dragon/G design over Getter/Shin type design.
Still want to see if Wing somehow made the cut for CG.
Very happy about Gunloen and Rand, then again it would have totally killed my hype if he didn't have it. I just really hope that Land Crasher is his theme.

Damnit, wish I didn't see that post about Rand and Setsuko. That would have been a crazy surprise out of nowhere when they showed up mid-map otherwise.
I need to avoid this thread until I'm playing Saisei (>_<)
Otoh, I'm now excited about saisei-hen for the first time since it means the OG story is going to get reaaaal cool in this one. Z3 should be epic in 2015, let's get 4 protagonists again with all the returning ones like @3.

Oh that was beautiful. Need game now.
I'm surprised I saw Nu Gundam and Zeta Gundam in the intro... they didnt show up at all in the last one, I think.
The only two Gundam leads that didn't show up this time where Wing Zero and Destiny, I think so anyway.
Seeing Nu and Zeta was awesome though. Makes me wish there was a ZZ even more though.

Opening is supposedly truncated but I don't know. It might not.
Kinda weird not to include him in it when they have DX and Turn A in there
Honestly I don't find it that surprising, given Wing's very small/odd role in Z2 Part 1 and Wing wasn't in that intro at all.
If they really did keep something out I doubt it would be Wing Zero of all units and then show off Nu/OO/Shin/Shin Z, just doesn't make sense to me.
That and rewatching the intro, why the hell is Zero's Saber so Yellowish? A bit a green, but wasn't Zero's Saber from the anime/manga bright Green like Wing?
Oh and I loved Beast Metal G. Really glad to see them doing it full on.
Oh, the Mordred is in this. Hope the other Knights' KMFs are in this too.
What are some places where I can pre-order this? Not liking the $100 price on NCSX. Can't find it on AmiAmi.
I always get my stuff from NCSX... but I think you can get it from PlayAsia (if you're willing wait).
The game will probably pop up on the JPN PSN store, so you also have the option to just go digital. Due to price exchange, it'll probably cost as much as the one on NCSX though.
I might actually go w/ the PSN this time though, since I have a Vita.

Yeah, I have a Vita too but no JP PSN card. I got Z2-HH from NCSX too, but I don't remember it being as expensive. Maybe my memory is just bad. Thanks though.
Foreign PSN cards or foreign debit cards?
Sweet, I'll give it a shot when it comes out. Thanks dood.
