Namco Bandai Games announced in this week’s issue of Famitsu magazine that the Super Robot Taisen Original Generation series is making its debut on the PlayStation 3 in a scant few months.
Dai 2 Ji Super Robot Taisen OG, the eight in the Original Generation series, is due out exclusively for the PS3 this August. Two versions will be available: the plain old PS3 game, and a limited-edition package that includes the Blu-ray collection of Super Robot Wars Original Generation: The Inspector, a 26-episode anime that wrapped up its TV run last month. This limited pack will cost 41,790 yen.
Original Generation is a spin-off of the Super Robot Taisen series of anime-robot strategy sims that boasts a 100-percent original story instead of relying on robots licensed from assorted Japanese shows. The most recent OG game to hit the US was Endless Frontier: Super Robot Taisen OG Saga on the Nintendo DS in 2009 (pictured above).
