Maybe we should see if BanNam would be willing to do some KickStart thing for this game? Heck, Double Fine just cleaned up doing it.

Bandai Namco please localize this game. I've been playing the SRW series since 1999. There are a lot of Western fans who love the series.

I too would like to voice my enthusiasm for the Super Robot Wars/Super Robot Taisen "Original Generation" series of games.

Another thing to consider is how the backstory to the game and some of the localization is already established, despite the change in platform from GBA. It is true that the events of Original Generation 1 and 2 are slightly different from how they are portrayed in Original Generations on the PS2, but I feel that this and any other plot inconsistencies can be clarified on in the game's profiles for its pilots. Something that every SRW game has to help its players (not all of which are expected to know all the plot details).

Even if a digital release would be the most we could hope for, I'd gladly pay any price for an "Original Generation 3".
Please, contact Banpresto and try to make this happen.

Decided to sign up simply because of this. I've been an avid Super Robot Wars/Taisen fan for a number of years and I've purchased SRW Original Generation 1 and 2 for the GBA when it was released over here in the states. In addition to that, I've also purchased SRW Alpha 3, SRW Z, as well as Original Generations and Original Generations Gaiden for the Playstation 2, SRW W for the Nintendo DS, and SRW Z2.1 for the PSP. I guess I'm kind of a mecha enthusiast.

Original Generations 2 for the PS3 is looking really nice, and I would love to have an English text version. I don't really care about voice actors, and personally, I love the Japanese voices. I would gladly support Bandai Namco and Banpresto should a translated version be released. Not just for Original Generations 2, either. It'd be really nice to see Original Generations 1 and Original Generations Gaiden released, perhaps on the Playstation Store, as digital content.

Please make this happen? I know it's probably a lot to ask.

I registered just to add my voice to this. I'd buy two copies. One to use, one to admire :P

Namco would have to release the game in japan first

My goodness, signed an infinite amount of times, I absolutely love the series, got in with original Alpha (in chinese, probably a pirated and translated version, but what did I know back when I was 8?), and played through the localized OG and OG2 and am absolutely in love.

Why wouldn't they? Companies don't usually like to announce something and later on scrap an entire project and have to explain to their customer base. Nah, it'll be released in Japan eventually, even if it has to go through Diablo caliber delays. I'm really REALLY hoping NAMCO gets on it right away, seriously the mecha fanbase is increasing due to all the successful franchises the OP pointed out. And everyone loves a good TB strategy game here, just look at how well the Fire Emblem series has been received.

I second this motion and I am signing the petition to help other regions receive the glory that is Super Robot Wars. OG saga didn't do very well on the GBA because it was horribly advertised (read: NO ADVERTISING AT ALL.) and the DS spin off game (which had a sequel, please think about localizing that as well before I make a translation patch myself.) also fell short due to lack of advertising. Namco Bandai need to respect Banpresto's quality games a little more and give people a reason in this day and age to care about SUPER ROBOT WARS. I already have my collectors edition japanese version with the Blu-Ray of the Inspectors paid of for when it finally releases. But to be able to play this game in my native language would complete my PS3 library.

More and more mecha-type hype in the US, Battleship is going live in a few weeks and I'm predicting huge success.
