While I always understood that classic SRW games were too difficult to release outside of Japan due to all those licenses, especially the conflict between Macross and Robotech, I never understood why they ignored western market for Masou Kishin.

Sure the game contain some questionable stuff, notably Maddock's and/or Saphine's actions and dialogues, but those were just Japanese inappropriate humor, not crucial for the story of the game, and imo censored western release is better than none at all, so I was quite disappointed when they made remake for DS, followed by PSP port and three sequels, and omitted the western market again.
On top of that, about year after release of Coffin of the End, winkysoft filled for bankruptcy.

Same goes for other OG games. They made deal with Atlus U.S.A. to do translation and western release of OG1&2 for GBA, (western branch which if I'm not mistaken have history of soiling the reputation of the Japanese parent company), then banpresto decide to ignore western market for the OGs, (because they thought that significantly better PS2 game wouldn't sell more than GBA game in the west) as well as all the follow up games with exception of Endless Frontier, but then again, that was spin-off game, released by Atlus West and thus we never got Endless Frontier Exceed.
Moon Dwellers got official English translation, yet it was still released only in Japan and SEA despite being banpresto original, not having myriad of anime and manga series licenses whatsoever.

So yeah, I have high hopes that since they went through all the effort to push through global release of classic SRW game, we might eventually get some of those games that never had the licensing issues, or the games where licenses wouldn't have more issues than SRW 30, but then I think about all that work that will go in vain in case of all those fan translations that will get in conflict with official western release of SRW games.

The sole existence of those fan translations though prove that there is demand for those games to be released outside of Japan and those translations were never made for profit so I'm certain that those fan translation groups would't have issue taking down their own work and encourage the SRW fans to support the devs and purchase the game if it ever get port or remake released in west.

The short answer is yes, I would like to purchase the OG games on steam if they ever got released.

OG is diffirent over crossover stuff,crossover those cost a lots,having ton of anime crossover and liscen aslo their music while for OG Original characters and story) will not cost a thing cause it the original content.

Aso Altus don't own the rigth of srw they only help translated it that it and they did a poor jobs too.

Well, that was not just to say yes, it was to say that we should have always had all the OG games localized and released in western market soon after they were released in Japan in the first place.
While Banpresto made several remakes, like 2nd, 3rd and SRW EX into Complete Box for PSOne, 4th SRW into F and F Final for PSOne, Compact 2 Part 1-3 into SRW Impact for PS2, already mentionen Masou Kishin - The Lord of Elemental, so there are chances for more remakes, SRW OGs is already remake of OG1&2. What are the chances they will do remake for the remake?

Well couple of years ago the creator of srw series and also OG hear that peoples want those style of game and he try to push OG to be localize i think that was like 5 to 6 years ago he say that and we still waiting.

The best way to do that would be they do a collection sell of OG take the ps2 version we coudl have supe robot war OGS (put the s in cause there like 3 game inside og1&og2 and small part of gaiden) and gaiden into one game and re-realease Dai-2-Ji Super Robot Taisen OG and moon dwellers for the pc.

After that Masou Kishin - The Lord of Elemental since those are pretty much in between of the OG game.

They will have to pay themselves for their own Banpresto Originals licenses?

The "not gonna happen, would cost too much for the licenses to release in west" is recurring joke about SRW games, we are however talking about Original Generation series here which never had the licensing issue, yet we still saw only SRW OG1&2 for GBA and 1st Endless Frontier for DS and only because of Atlus West.

I have no info on this, but I can imagine that it was Atlus who approached Banpresto with the proposal to localize and release those games, not the opposite.
Banpresto simply never gave a ♥♥♥♥ about western market and the English translation for SEA region and this entire 30th anniversary global release SRW game might have happened only because Bandai merged with Namco.

Altus did a poor jobs on transalting too,they took way to much time and when they were done,the gba vers was dying so the game din't have a chance to shine and got poor numbers around the west.....it kinda altus's fault we never got those game here.

If OG appeared on Steam, I'd buy it.

[Deylendor]

For someone who played OG1&2 on a Gameboy my knowledge of what happened after that is really vague. Image getting like this into Moon Dwellers.

Its a gap I really like to close some day without spending years learning written japanesse.

Well, I have some good news for you. OGs for PS2 changed few things in the story so the events in OG1&2 for GBA does not count anymore, so it wouldn't be of much use even if you played OG Gaiden let alone Moon Dwellers. Not like OG Gaiden got English translation anyway.
They also did the same with Masou Kishin as well. The DS remake change the story of original SNES version, so it would match better with other OG games.
Thus even though there is unofficial English translation for the original SNES Masou Kishin, the story does not match with remake and it's sequels.

That's why people would like to see official western release of those games.

I always wanted to play an official OGs. I'm not keen to emulate it.

Well the one you can play that is full transalted is moondwellers on the ps4 but you need to get it from play-asia for physical copy (if there any left).

Right now OGs fully translated (ps2 version having both og1 and 2 in one game and small part of gaiden) can only be play as a emulator.

All they need to do is do a hd remasterd and translated all the OG game and port them into the current gen and also pc and call it super obot wars OG collection or something like that.

[Number Eight]

Releasing the OG remasters as collection would make sense.
I'm afraid however, that the price might get too high and actually discourage players new to SRW games from purchasing the collection.

Mind that they will have to make the OGs, OGG, 2ndOG and Dark Prison basically entirely anew except for the graphical assets they could recycle from the Moon Dwellers.

I can imagine that release price might end up being well around 50 USD for each individual game.
Base price of OGMD on PlayStation Store is 9020 YEN which about 67 USD, despite being released in 2016 since console games does not drop in price over time same way the PC games does, so I wonder what the price of PC port, or even western console release of OGMD might be.

I think It would be best to be optional whether one purchase the entire collection, spending larger sum at once with benefit of small discount exclusive to the bundle, or purchase each game individually, going for the next game after completing the story of the previous one.

Also from what I've learned, OGMD is sort of remake to SRW J.
However being "only" 6 years old PS 4 game, there is no real need to do another "remake of the remake".
All it need is enhanced port to Switch, Steam and possibly PS5, with the latest happen only in case of collection bundle release for consoles which might see PS4 release anyway to be more accessible and since all PS4 SRW games should be playable on PS5 through backward compatibility, there's no real need to re-release of OGMD on PS5 unless it would include some PS5 exclusive enhancements.

All of course depending on whether they will do remake of OG series and release them for the western market in first place.

From what I've read, the English patched OGs has been tested, bug-fixed and should be fully playable on actual PS2 console as well.

Well nit like a super big collection like putting all the game in one go,do like they did whit the final fantasi pixel remake content.

Just update them too Moondweller graphics and resell them, for 60$ per game (well for me it will be 60 but in the NA would be 50$) just a base idea.
