Less Robot, More (Two) Other Things

Banpresto's newest Super Robot Taisen game puts less emphasis on the the "robot taisen" and more, way more, on the "super" well... Above is the box suggestive box art for the Nintendo DS RPG Mugen no Frontier Super Robot Taisen OG Saga and an image from the in store demo.

The last time we saw cat-head sucking Shoko Nakagawa promoting a Super Robot Taisen game, she was all glammed up as Shoko-tan Version 2.0. For the upcoming Super Robot Taisen Taisen Original Generations, she's returned to her nerd cosplay robots by donning the mecha armor of in-game character Valsione. Shoko-tan, a cosplay nerd herself, says this was the most spectacular cosplay of her life, and she even went as fair as trimming her hair and her fingernails for this costume. Now, that's dedication.
