The Super Robot Wars series has been churning out games for decades now, with the first game being released for the Game Boy back in 1991. Despite numerous titles being released in Japan, not many have made it overseas due to licensing issues between the numerous anime shows being represented. Games such as Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier, however, did make it to the West.
