Way to go Banpresto!Hello, everyone! This is the Vanishing Trooper Impulse, aka Ta-kun, once again, with a fun article regarding our object of common interest, Super Robot Wars. Last time I took a very in-depth look at Banpresto's biggest mistakes; to be fair, I will cover Banpresto's assets during this session. Once again, I must warn you that all the comments made in this article do not represent the feelings of anyone but myself, Ta-kun. |
Nš1: Cybaster. You might say "all the originals in general should be number one," but you must give credit to Masoukishin; it has two games dedicated entirely to it (SRW EX and SRW Gaiden, both for SNES) and it completely changed the way SRW games were made (it added much more complicated plots thanks to the originals, of which Cybaster is the first, appearing in SRW2 for the NES. Additionally, it has two of what we'll call bastard children, Shin Masoukishin and Rayblade (aka "I'm not Cybaster.") Nš2: Ryusei Date. Although I just love Chouki Taisen SRX and all its cast, concepts and mecha, I must pick Ryusei from the whole pack for a single reason: he's the realization of all the mecha fanboys' dream--to be a normal boy who turns into a mecha pilot, gets to meet all the classic mecha pilots and gets to be in control of one of the strongest mecha in Banpresto's story, Banpreios. Personally I think of Ryusei as an example to follow, as someone who managed to surpass the fanboy limits... Nš3: Zengar Zombolt. I don't care if you call him Sanger Sombold or whatever, Mr. I-Cleave-Evil is the most heroic character ever made--after Segata Sanshiro and Ryusei Date. And being the Sword that cleaves evil would not be complete without the 60-meter Zankantou! Besides, being able to name a unit after yourself--Bushin Soukon Daizengar (no matter how coincidental that turns to be)--is a sign that you're cool (or too egocentric, which does not seem to be the case.) |
