Oh, the glory days when there was constantly a new Super Robot Wars on the horizon between console and portable installments...
The ones they'd worked on are some of the most beloved entries, too. Aside from that FMP game (years old now!), I have no idea what they'd been up to lately. Not enough that worked, it would seem. Funny, I'd daydreamed that it'd be neat if they did some more stripped down "portable-esque" titles again, somehow, then this happens... |

Honestly it's impressive that they held out as long as they did.
We don't really talk about it much, but one of the big (bad) things the Nintendo Switch did when it launched in 2017 is that it effectively killed the handheld games industry. Platforms like the NDS, 3DS, PSP, PSV, etc. were able to sustain a lot of developers on mid-budget games because they simply didn't need to spend a lot of money on visuals in order to compete with the bigger, more expensive games they were in direct competition with. But with the Switch pulling double-duty as a home-console, that niche disappeared. |
