Super Robot Wars Original Generation: Difference between revisions

Nearly three years and several mainline SRW games later, Banpresto wheeled out ''Super Robot Wars Original Generation 2'' (OG2) for the Game Boy Advance, which makes the cast EVEN BIGGER with new additions from the interim games. This time around, the plot finishes the part of the [[Mid-Season Upgrade]] of the first ''Alpha'' game, the Machinery Children of ''Alpha Gaiden'', as well as part of Arado Balanga's story and a prologue of Ibis Douglas' story from ''Alpha 2'', but the primary focus of the story is the Einst of ''[[Super Robot Wars Compact 2|Super Robot Wars Compact 2/Impact]]'', the Shadow-Mirror of ''[[Super Robot Wars Advance]]'', and the Inspectors of ''[[Super Robot Wars 3]]''. The game also introduces an original plot, combining part of Arado's tale with the story of a character introduced in OG1, as [[Tyke Bomb]] ex-students of a harsh training school.

 

 

Oh, and then there's the [[Gaiden Game]] spin-off ''Super Robot Wars OG Saga''. The first game, ''[[Endless Frontier]]'' for the [[Nintendo DS]], is a different beast entirely, since it's a conventional [[Eastern RPG]] rather than a [[Turn-Based Strategy]] like all of the above, featuring [[Expy|expys]] upon [[Expy|expys]] (sometimes, OF [[Expy|expys]]), an [[Action Commands|Action Command-based]] combat system revolving around massive juggling combos ([[Fan Service|among]] [[Gag Boobs|other]] [[Hurricane of Puns|things]]), and [[Xenosaga|KOS-MOS and T-ELOS]]. For those who played ''[[Namco X Capcom]]'', they get to see Reiji Arisu and Xiaomu again; for those who [[No Export for You|haven't]], [[Marth Debuted in Smash Bros|well... now they have]]. It takes place in a group of [[Another Dimension|connected worlds]] called the [[The Place|Endless]] [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Frontier]], with the lives of the inhabitants shaped by the events of OG2. It's followed by a sequel ''Endless Frontier EXCEED'', which itself has ties to the ending of OG Gaiden, as well as incorporating a couple of characters from the main series. The third OG Saga game is ''Masou Kishin: Lord of Elemental'', a remake of ''[[Super Robot Wars Gaiden]]'' (technically the first all-original SRW) that (re)incorporates its story into Original Generation canon.

** Kyosuke proves to be a match to Axel in terms of shear determination. Naturally, they're also rivals.

** The in-game ''Resolve'' Spirit Command, which allows pilots to ignore negative status effects like being "Webbed" for that turn, assuming they aren't "Stunned", which prevents them from doing anything

** Though this is subverted in the GBA OG2: Kusuha was NEVER kidnapped there. Then the bonus missions from OG2 portion of OGs comes along...

** Not to mention all three get [[Brainwashed]] in the kidnappings, and with Alpha 2's story looming, we'll probably see {{spoiler|Brooklyn "Bullet" Luckfield's}} time to be the [[Brainwashed]] [[James Bondage]]. Is it any wonder why the ATX Team is so prone to become such bait for the villains?

* [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] (The game is basically Super Robot Wars crossed over with ''itself'')

* [[Me Love You Long Time]] (Evidenced in the American Bullet and the Japanese Kusuha, as well the German Elzam and his late wife Cattleya Fujiwara (though according to his backstory, Elzam's around a quarter Japanese). Interestingly, this trope's also inversed, with the very Japanese Kyosuke, Masaki and Tasuku Shinguji paired up with the American Excellen, Norwegian Lune and German Leona, respectively ([[Mukokuseki|not that you can really tell...]])

* [[Ms. Fanservice]] (Undoubtedly Excellen, although Garnet could very well be the other, until she's [[Put on a Bus]]. Ricarla "Carla" Borgnine tries to invoke this in OG2, but is vastly overshadowed by Seolla)

** Just those aren't enough: Aya, Lamia, Kusuha and Lune fulfill their fair share of this trope, as well. So will [[Super Robot Wars MX|Aqua Centrum]] once the MX storyline rolls in. Hell, even [[Super Robot Wars Destiny|Cliana Rimskaya]] fit in with her Seolla-sized breasts, short skirt and sleeveless outfit.
