Super Robot Wars W (スーパーロボット大戦 W, Sūpā Robotto Taisen Daburyū) is part of the Super Robot Wars franchise and was published for the Nintendo DS by Banpresto. It is the first Super Robot Wars game released for the Nintendo DS. Like some DS games, special features can be unlocked by starting a new game with any of the GBA era games inserted into SLOT 2. On February 27 2022 a fan-translated English patch was released.<br /><br />The game includes the "Combo Attack" system from previous SRW titles for the GBA. Unlike the older system, the attacker does not need to target units lined up in a row; instead, all units standing adjacent to one another are applicable, with the maximum number determined by the pilot's Combo Attack level. An additional "Bazaar Shop", similar to SRW Alpha Gaiden, is unlockable after completing certain requirements. This shop allows players to buy a selection of units that normally only enemies use. Lastly, the "Favorites Series" system, from Super Robot Wars MX returns.<br /><br />Super Robot Wars W also adds the "Support Request" ability, working similar to the "Support Attack/Defense" system, but allows one unit to call in a supporting attack/defense from a unit held in reserve, but not already sortied into the battlefield. Support Request can only be used once per scenario for each time the pilot has the ability. Debuting with Super Robot Wars W is the "Double Slot System". When a player goes to the intermission screen (either by completing a stage or loading a saved game) with one of the GBA SRW games in the DS's "SLOT 2", a bonus item and extra credits are rewarded. The properties of the item vary depending on which game is used and are named after the game used.<br /><br />One noticeable change is the story in Super Robot Wars W is separated into two timelines, allowing some of the series (like Nadesico, GaoGaiGar, Tekkaman Blade, Full Metal Panic) to continue in their respective sequels. The Gundam SEED storyline only exists in the second part, even though some characters appear in the first half.<br /><br />Since Duo and Quatre stayed on the ship for a while, each was given a job. Duo do the washing while Quatre helped Shihomi. Duo and Kazuma form a truce for their misunderstanding in the beginning. Meanwhile somewhere in space...Noal hits D-boy awake for sleeping when they had to fight the Radam alone. In the middle of a conversation, the Blue Earth was attacked again and this time D-boy turned into Tekkaman Blade. The Ardygun family arrived to help and in the midst of the battle, Orgun appears and lends a hand to fight the Radams.
