NEWS: Bandai to Promote Anime Games at E3

Hmmm, I thought Naruto games, which rumor has that Bandai picked up the rights to them, would be on the list for sure, but I guess that rumor might be bunk, for now. 20 or so more days to find out.

the only thing people need over here is just translation of the japanese text, the japanese dub is what makes Robot wars cool cause its the actual Voice Actors from the series, ie the Voice of Koji Kabuto has been doing the voice of him since the beginning from Mazinger Z

plus IMO a Dub would ruin a SRW game, like listen to most of the Super Robot series, ESPICALLY Getter Robo, where the pilots Scream their powers and moves right in your ear hehe, GETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTERRRRRRRRRRRRRR SHINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I've seriously gone deaf from doing that haha and I had the TV on mute lol

sigh.. Though an original japanese voiceover option would be nice, it really isn't essential. Bad voiceovers are the fault of careless dubbers who are carelessly chosen.

Besides, not having a dub at all would lose lots of sales potential.

But I am starting to notice a strange pattern where gamers who watch anime are not even accepting thier video games voiced in English. I find it wierd, that people don't seem to know that is no such thing as bad japanese voice dubbing because it's all so superior to simply relaxing your eyes and not reading so much text.

Example Full Metal Alchmist for PS2: I thought it was a great game. Loved the hell out of it.
Non anime gamer- I hated it. Gameplay was slow and story was boring. the graphics are inferior to A-list stuff. I hate anime anyway. Square Enix sucks.
Anime gamer- i hated it. They stuck with the damn english voices. And they changed the original opener. Didn't follow the anime storyline at all. It's not FMA without Scar or Gluttony. Square Enix sucks.

How is the Ghost in the Shell: SAC game?
