International Releases
Many mecha titles included are released only in Japan and the number of titles involved within a single game means complicated rights and licensing issues when releasing it elsewhere (a problem that also affects other games, such as Jump Superstars).
Thus far, only Original Generation games are officially released for the English market by Atlus USA. The titles of the games are given as Super Robot Taisen, possibly to avoid potential confusion with the British television series, Robot Wars. The games do not have the licensing problems other games may have since only original creations not from any anime or manga series are used in the lineup, thus making it the first game in the series to be released outside of the Asian market. Atlus also released Endless Frontier: Super Robot Taisen OG Saga for the Nintendo DS on April 28, 2009.
In addition, some games have been unofficially translated to English: the original Super Robot Wars, 3rd Super Robot Wars, Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden and Super Robot Wars J. Unofficial Chinese translation are also done to: 2nd Super Robot Wars G, 4th Super Robot Wars, Super Robot Wars A, Super Robot Wars R, Super Robot Wars Destiny, Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation, Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 2, Super Robot Wars J, Super Robot Wars Alpha, Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden, Super Robot Wars F, Super Robot Wars F Final, 3rd Super Robot Wars Alpha: To the End of the Galaxy, Super Robot Wars: Original Generations, Super Robot Wars W, Super Robot Wars K, Super Robot Wars MX Portable, Super Robot Wars A Portable.

Famous quotes containing the word releases:
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
