The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

This is the PSP port of the PS2 game Super Robot Wars MX. It's pretty much the same game with some minor gameplay tweaks. Although the game itself isn't too hard, it has improved several aspects of the game, most notably the presentation of attacks which gives the game even more of an "anime" feel than before. This game also has a series list that would please American fans, with 4 featured titles already released in America; Gundam: Char's Counterattack, Nadesico: Prince of Darkness, Rahxephon and Neon Genesis Evangelion. New systems, such as the Double Attack system and Favourite System are also thrown in as Banpresto continue to refresh their series again and again.
