In the West we've pretty much come to terms that you'll never see Captain Kirk and Darth Vader go head to head. But in Japan, they're not half as universe agnostic as we are. And thus they get to enjoy games like Marvel vs Capcom and Kingdom Hearts. Super Robot Taisen is a strategy series starring giant robots and mechs from beloved series like Gundam, Macross, Neon Genesis Evangeleon, Getter Robo and Mazinger Z.

It's been long thought that the licensing issues would prevent these games from ever seeing the light of the day in the states. Strategy RPGs are a tough sell, especially on the younger-skewing GBA. It would be nice to see Atlus rewarded for their efforts in the form of sales.

EDIT: According to Joystiq won't be featuring any licensed characters except for the ones created specifically for the game. So the game is no Jump Superstars, but it's got super-deformed robots. That's got to count for something.
