Fun Fact: There is a soccer game on the Super Famicom featuring Gundam, Ultraman and Kamen Rider that also includes Godzilla characters.

Some interesting bits (1) The Gundams here actually their respective pilots wearing powered armors based on their respective mobile suits, for example. Gundam F91=Seabook, V2 Gundam=Uso, God/Burning Gundam=Domon. (2) The rather thin plot of these games ended up being very important in Super Robot Wars OG The Moon Dwellers.

Just one kick note: Kouta Azuma becomes Fighter Roar when the events of SRW OG Gaiden take place. The Fighter Roar that appears in the Great Battle games is a ciborg created by Dark Brain who rebelled against him and while pursuimg Dark Brain, he crossed over to the SRW OG universe, losing his physical body in the process. That's when he merges with Kouta, allowing him to turn into Fighter Roar

Entire series has just gotten translated by Aeon Genesis.

you my friend are a true hidden gem on youtube i have never heard of these games and they look fantastic!

Great timing...I literally just started playing _Great battle IV_ two days ago, and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself. Years ago I came across a GBC game called _Super Robot Pinball_ ,which is a spin-off of this series that even features Evangelion, Mazinger Z, and Getter Robo to name a few. Crazy franchise mash-ups that don't sacrifice quality game play for the novelty!

I grew up playing the GB 4 with my friends when we were like 10-12 Great old days

You can see the progression of competence in the developers.

Your videos have shown me tons of Japanese games to load on my everdrive

You are the best SNES channel on KZfaq. I must have 20 super famicom games on my classic bases entirely on your recommendations.

Very nice overview. A friend recommended the first one, so I've played it. I recall that you've mentioned some of these in your import videos and I've since briefly sampled each one. It's a cool series with good production values. The fourth made an impressive first impression. The first mech fight was a jarring surprise, though. This series looks like it's my style as I tend to like less popular, obscure games on the SNES over the popular stuff. This video gave me a better idea of what to expect when I get a chance to play them properly. Great work on this video. I like your style.

NES has some tittles too, sd hero soukessen taose aku no gundan is a great plataform game.

Never heard of any of these? I just ordered 3, 4 & 5 so thanks for the next week of games I'll b playing!

Good job shouting out another KZfaqr...makes me support you more. 👍🏽🤘🏽

Oh good, you mentioned Battle Pinball! That's a fun ,wacky, and relatively colorful SFC pinball game which often gets overlooked (and also reminds me of Kyuutenkai Fantastic Pinball in more than a few ways) . Another from the series, Super Robot Pinball for Game Boy Color is also a good time - always gotta love video pinball games with boss battles!

If this is a BanPresto game it is likely way it didn't come over. That company makes super mash-up games even to this day, including the very long running Super Robot Wars series. Most of the Super Robot Wars never hit North America because of all the different licenced anime content in them.

This series is pure fun

I love your videos, gracias amigo.

Great video, as always! soooooooooo you should tackle the super robot taisen series. It's also made by Banpresto, and it's a tactical strategy game series with mechs from a ton of anime!

Awesome. I loved Great Battle IV but couldn't figure out the mech battles and then gave up. Will try again with that list.

These games have English patches now for anyone interested. They are available on romhacking.net.

oh wow ive seen quite a few carts of this series at various retro shops around Tokyo but never picked it up. i may just grab one of them next time!

It's also worth noticing that Great Battle is canon within the Super Robot Wars: Original Generation series, since Fighter Roar (now known as Warrior Roar) goes to the OG world, finds a different Kouta Azuma, becomes his spiritual guide and helps him fight Dark Brain's forces in the brand spanking new Compatible Kaiser. So technically, SRW: OG Gaiden is a sequel to the series.

Excellent, as always!

Glad to have great battle five in my collection Finally a awesome review of this game

I was never aware of this gem series, thanks for showing this.

So helpful. Thanks dude

I remember seeing Great Battle import toys back in the 90s at a comic shop. It blew my mind!! I was like "these guys look awesome!! I want them!!"

Yeah, I've heard of these, IV and V definitely seem worth the go. Good picks, too bad they didn't come over.

Awesome video!! I've had these games for a few years now and I've been waiting for someone to review and hear their thoughts on them. I absolutely agree that the last 2 games are the must plays. You should cover Ushio to Tora for the super famicom. It's a decent game and it's not expensive! Haha. Keep up the great work!

I finished all the titles in my nostalgia, this are master pieces. all games recomended.

Wonder if the Gundam SD anime was tied in with these games. Pretty cool, def one ill have to check out

Great job!

I'll have to check out these games. They look fun.

I picked these up based on your recommendation awhile back. I still haven't found 5 though.

They made A LOT of those games, Soccer, Dodgeball, racing, baseball.... and even Pachinko ! Also there are some spin-offs like The Great Battle Gaiden series and RPG :-)

Wow, I had no idea these games were any good. What a truly hidden gem! Soooo many gems on SNES.

4 & 5 look gorgeous.

The Great Battle IV is awesome! Picked it up at a favorite local retro shop, mainly because it had a Gundam on it. I've been hoping to play it in one of our future videos (perhaps after Halloween time passes, since we gotta show love to spooky movies and games first).

Gotta get these

Ultraman Towards the Future and it's SFC exclusive sequel Ultra Seven might make an interesting video.

also, battle of Olympus! ! my favorite game ever made!

Thank you

The battle pinball game on snes was awesome!

Yes it Tuesday !!!

This is how I got introduced to Ultraman Gundam and Kamen(masked) Rider.

Never knew fighter roar (pilot of G compati kaiser) debut here on snes. lol

Interesting games, I'm not into the mentioned series, so I never heard about those games. The first one looks like it plays similar to Pocky and Rocky, I'll give it a try!

Total length of video: 462 secs. Total length of "SNES Drunk": 4 secs. .87% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk".

Oh crap. That first one is the Blaster Master top-down sections made into an entire game.

all 5 have english patches out, woohoo. aeon genesis rocks :), thanks for the cool video

The memories...

Hell of a crossover, maybe needs to be revisited/revived?

Great game love it.

I picked 2 and 3 at a retro game store in San Diego . I want 4 and 5 too but I’m guessing they are pretty pricey

The characters remind me of action figures from 90s vending machines

The great battle games lookk awsome!

Would you go over the sd battle sports games like the soccer and dodgeball games?

snes drunk castlevania 3. snes drunk and avgn are my favorite game channels, hands down

See also: Hero Senki - Project Olympus.

My 3 year old daughter says SssssNes Drunk lol

I would like to see a review of Kirby's Dreamland 3, however that came out in America (I think in 97 or 98 nonetheless)

the lil bug character is masked rider

Do these work on the SNES classic edition

3, 4 and 5 are really great indeed! A very nice series that never left Japan, just a waste!

Looks like my backlog just got a whole more stuffed.

Actually Ultraman is like1 to 2 buildings high, a gundam is lke 20 meters high, and a kamen rider is human size.

Were english translations made for great battle iv and v?

I was half expecting you to break out into Banjo music when you first said SNES drunk.

No, YOU have a great rest of YOUR day!

Who _hasn't_ been jonesing for Ultraman as a cowboy?

Thnx SNES Drunk!! This series is part of my collection because of you. I ordered the whole series by a tech guy I know who made the Great Battle games for me out of my crappy SNES sports games. I call it transgender carts: They were born as a crappy sport game to transform in an epic must have game!!

Is the "snes drunk" opening recorded solely by you? I love how I never know exactly how long it will be lol.

Hey Could you review the snes or super famicom Kamen Rider game

Just picked up GB 3 used for $10 cad. Party 👍🤘

This is what happens in Japan, when a major toy company holds all your toy production rights (and in fact owns 100% at least one of these franchises) they go to the others and say ask 'Hey we need money, can we use your characters and split the profits'? And the other companies say "Sure go ahead". You will NEVER see this kind of thing going on anywhere else in the world. Its nice to see this level of camaraderie between companies, though again it helps if the same toy company owns the rights to produce toys of all of these franchises. Only in Japan. :)

Kamen Rider fighting a Zaku.... nice

does that mean my SD card means Super Deformed card

I think this series would have done better than that not so great ultraman fighting game we got in the USA lol They are really fun games we missed out on.

o shit, F91 gundam

What about Great Battle VI for PS1?

All these games have a natsume vibe Are they the devs?

génial

There's another in PSP.

It seems you had forgotten to link that GameFAQs movelist.

Ooo Kamen rider

SnnnnnnnnnnnNNES DRUNK!

The super heroes look so cute

How some some famicom games didn't released for the us snes?

If you like pinball, try Battle Pinball.

Why is Japan the only country that makes big mashups of its various totally-unconnected IPs like this? Can you imagine if someone made a game where Harry Potter, Clarissa Fray and Percy Jackson all teamed up to wage war on the Sabbat while trying to maintain the uneasy peace with the Camarilla?

Please do Jackie crush.

I mean 7 games.

I prefer the Super Robot Wars series ^^

Aaaah hahahaha!!! The best "SsssssssnesDrunk" sound ever!!!!! hahaha. Totally deformed.

But Gundam isn't a superhero... Characters from Ultraman & Kamen Rider are but Gundam/Mobile Suits are mecha. Not sure about that fourth character... He looks like a Gundam but dressed/styled after a hero of sorts. That blue hair gives me Goemon vibes.

There's a game that I forgot the title. Can you help me find it. I played it one time at a friend's house. It's Super Nintendo it's a turn based RPG. I believe there was seven Heroes could have been more. You pick one you play his story line or hers or it's. Then you picked another one's and play their story line until you did all of them's storyline. And then you play as a group and finish the game. That is what my friend told me about it it was over 250 hours worth of gameplay he said. He would not let me borrow it but I did get to play it one day. I remember a furball type character a little alien animal. A robot and a guy who had a sword I believe and his name was hero. I played him I believe it opened with him driving a car and being in an accident and then you fought the bad guys who caused it. Sorry that's all I can remember

6 games, not 5. Full Blast is 6.

I guess you didn't find the motivation to play the first game of the series.You would have find out that you rescue a new hero at every boss fight and end up with 5 heroes to control instead of 3 ;-)

Wtf never even heard of this
