This straight from the newly launched Steam store page (credits to lashman ):

Why would Bamco rate the game with PEGI (and ESRB) if they'd only plan to release it in South Asia?

Well damn, I wonder if they figured something out. It'd be cool if we could start getting them released officially here though maybe it the series in this one aren't so troublesome?

That's great news. It's so good that these games are getting translated in English now, getting a proper western release is the last step.

I wonder if it is only PC western release just like SD Gundam Cross Rays? Hopefully console as well, but just knowing it is coming West in some official capacity is awesome.

I mean this was revealed in a Japanese direct, it'd be weird for Nintendo to not have a deal for the first western release of the main series to release on its platform there too when it's already ported after the previous 2 western og releases were Nintendo exclusive even

Huge news seeing this on western storefronts! Hopefully it happens with the console versions too (I don't expect it to) but you never know!

I can see DLC sales being the big motivator to get this to finally happen. I hope it does happen though!

Wow. Play Asia in shambles.
I do wish people would place their preorders with a company that doesn't support and pander to GamerGate and the alt-right. Play-Asia don't even do you a good deal.

Anyway, on topic I expect this to be Steam-only, but we shall see.

I mean this is the first main SRW release in the west you'd hope they'd release it on both consoles they've already ported it to! Plus the og duology on Gameboy advance happened

I specifically went with Yes Asia for T and Amazon for X for that reason. Probably going to do the same for V when I get around to that one.

I'm glad I won't even need to jump through those hoops for 30.

My kingdom for a SRW game with Eva, Geass, and Gurren Laggan in it. I don't like any other robot anime. Bamco Nandai pls. ;_;

This is very interesting. Sounds like something similar happened with Gundam Cross Rays, where it came to Steam but never consoles in the West.

The main thing making me hesitant right now is the PEGI rating. 7? Really?

On the one hand, I'm super excited this is getting a Western release. On the other hand, while I was in Taiwan, I tracked down a Switch cart of the English version of one of the games in the series (SRW T I think) and I haven't completed it yet and that game had more series that I recognize (Nadesico & Cowboy Bebop).

Someone must've combed through all the precise nuances of what was or wasn't ceded in licensing agreements and found a way to argue that Steam was in the clear

Because otherwise what the actual hell
