posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia announced on July 25 that it will release an English version in Southeast Asia for the Super Robot Wars V and Super Robot Wars X games on the Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.
The Switch version of Super Robot Wars V will ship in Southeast Asia on October 3. The digital version of the Switch release will also have a limited edition, but players must have a Nintendo Hong Kong or Japan eShop account to access the limited edition bonuses (as there is no Nintendo eShop for Southeast Asia). Early purchasers of the Switch version will also get a code for several bonuses, but players will need to have Nintendo Hong Kong eShop access to redeem the code.
Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia did not reveal release dates for the other releases.
