The trailer on the steam page has an ESRB rating pending splash screen, so that release is legit. I'm assuming some wires got crossed regarding time zones and this went up early, and Bandai will have a press release soon.
And this is why I still have some hope for consoles, cross rays didn't die till the Bandai trailer. Then again wouldn't be the first time Bandai announced a switch port lateThe trailer on the steam page has an ESRB rating pending splash screen, so that release is legit.

I would def wait on more news before committing to importing.So does this mean there is any chance of physical Switch copies coming over? Or will that still be an import thing.
I mean there's no bandai trailer so I wouldn't rule it out. Hopefully we'll at least get a digital release considering if they brought this over due to import numbers it'd be due to Switch and PS4 import numbers XDSo does this mean there is any chance of physical Switch copies coming over? Or will that still be an import thing.
Oh man it did, i'm legit so excited as i love this series so much since getting into it. That and we need more SRPGs in general.

Neat!you know considering we got GGG vs Betterman as a full scenario it sucks we couldn't get Getter Devolution even as a unit only. Tell me you don't want this ridiculous design in SRW
Where was that revealed? I'm all in for Alt
That doesn't have the SRW 30th logo on it, so it might just be a generic SRW series advertisement.
Yeah, that's the poster for an OG exhibitionThat doesn't have the SRW 30th logo on it, so it might just be a generic SRW series advertisement.
Wasn't this for a line of toys in a show or something lol. Idk but I wouldn't take that as 100% conf
Sidebar, but if anyone is interested, I see everything (Moon Dwellers, V , X, T) is 60% or 70% off on Singapore PSN, including DLC. Just grabbed the T post-game DLC.
This is one of those rare times, where I'll buy a port regardless of its quality or the effort put into it. It's just too important.The dream indeed. And if the sales are good enough, this might become the norm, not just a one-off.

What I've been doing on PSN :Looks like it's the same for Switch as well. Any clue on how the heck to get stuff from the HK or SGP eshops for those in the US?

of course all the english ones nowadays DON'T HAVE DIEBUSTER OR GUNBUSTER
life is pain
doess iiit I swear last time I looked for an english one it didn't :(
gimme
actually now that you mention it, does that one have diebuster too. maybe that's what I'm remembering. the lack of diebuster. or my memory is fuzzing out.
I have all the SRW Switch versions straight from the HK eShop! It's pretty simple, generally -
1- Create a HK Nintendo Account (I followed a guide when I bought T, but it shouldn't be too hard to find) and SIGN IN TO IT FROM YOUR SWITCH (this is SUPER important)
2- Go to store.nintendo.com.hk and log in with your account
3- Look for all the SRW games (they're all discounted so they shouldn't be too hard to find)
4- Add them to cart and pay! I paid with my credit card, but in theory I think you should be able to buy HK eShop cards online. They also accept PayPal.
5- Once you've paid, you have to go into your account, open up the order and click on Download on every item
It'll automatically download to your Switch! Chrome can translate the eShop page (right click and select "Translate") and you should be easily able to navigate the site.
I just grabbed V and X with the DLC and the post-game DLC for T right now for like 522HKD (which is like 90CAD, which is real cheap).
Thanks for the help. I got it to work by switching my region and contacting my credit card company.
Now I also want to get Moon Dwellers on PS4, but I'm running into problems there too. I know I need to create a foreign account, and I also know I cannot use my credit card or Paypal and have to resort to gift cards, and different regions sell different increments. What is the most cost-effective way to do this? It's looking like Hong Kong where I'd have to spend $20.

For PSN, you need to create a Singapore PSN account, and then you 100% need to buy Singapore PSN cards (you can do this JP too if you want, but the JP versions only have Japanese text). PSN doesn't let you register cards from other regions on accounts, afaik, since you need a valid postal address and everything is tied to that.
Then you make sure you sign in to that account on your PS4/5 and make that PS4/5 the primary console for that account - you'll be able to play on your main account regardless this way.
Does it have to be Singapore or does Hong Kong work too? Actually, what regions would get me the Asian version (which has English text option?), Taiwan, Korea, China as well?
Singapore and Taiwan for sure. Play-Asia carries Singapore cards, I'd just play it safe and use that country since we can guarantee the games are in English there.
If I was to guess the 4 OGs they'll add as DLC I'd say it'll be Gespenst, Grungust, Alteisen and DyGenGuar.
I wouldn't want Grungust and Gespenst back considering we had them in V and T but 30th anniversary things means they seem certain to come back.
Huckebein and Grungust were introduced in SRW4 as the ultimate upgrades on the real/super routes, and you have different variations of the Gespenst you upgrade from. So I think there's a good chance there might be some kind of Grungust 30 somewhere.
There is no Grungust 30. Straight from the horse's mouth.Would be a good excuse to bring in Gundam Build Fighters, there's some wild shit they could mine from there. That setup would be perfect for the handheld team since they like to experiment, if they still exist and haven't been moved to DD now.
Cybuster (fittingly) is in X, which makes the Gespesnt and Grungust more likely, if anything.

Of course, Terada's a hilarious horrific troll. So maybe there isn't "Grungust 30". There is possibly something else from the designer though. Speaking of which, I hope he's OK. He was only recently discharged from the hospital because his house caught on fire and his wife passed away.
No, his name is Miyatake Kazutaka. He's known for Macross designs. He's kind of Kawamori Shoji's other half.

I'm really glad because it means I don't have to import on switch. My friend was going to buy it on Steam (he lives in Japan) but I just assumed I wouldn't be able to buy it due to the region locking. So glad I can just buy it normally!
Yeah, the costs for getting V, X, and T could be rough at times. My Switch copy of T ended up costing as much as the Digital Deluxe Edition of Super Robot Wars 30 will cost, and that was with no DLC.
I'm hoping if the Steam version of 30 does well, we might not only get more Steam releases, but maybe console ports in the west as well.
I have a feeling this is more to do with legal licensing and contracts than Bandai Namco being hesitant about the Western market. Sure would be nice if we could get someone at BN to give a statement on it.
Totally forgot I had points to use at Play Asia, so my PS4 copy of SRW30 ended up costing me $53 with shipping. Can't complain about that.
Sadly, I doubt they'll ever directly state the details. We'll just find out if console ports happen later. I imagine it's just easier and cheaper to do a simple Steam release.
I was initially planning on getting 30 on Switch, but with an official release, I can't pass up supporting it. I feel like Bandai Namco will be using Steam sales to decide whether or not to keep releasing future SRW titles worldwide.
