A,I, the developer that has worked on the Nintendo versions of the Super Robot Wars games, has officially filed for bankruptcy. The company was initially founded in 1990.
A,I Co., Ltd. has previously worked on entries of the Super Robot Wars franchise for the Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, GameCube, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo 3DS as the main developer. Examples include Super Robot Wars 64, Super Robot Wars W, Super Robot Wars K, and more. Bankruptcy proceedings started on March 10.
The most recent entry in the Super Robot Wars franchise, Super Robot Wars 30, is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, and PlayStation 4. B.B. Studio (now rebranded to Bandai Namco Forge Digitals), developer of the mainline entries in the series, created the recent game.
The Steam page describes it as follows:
30 years on, the battle for our world’s future continues.
Super Robot Wars is a tactical RPG that brings characters and robots from a variety of mecha anime together to battle their mutual foes.
Players follow characters through adventure and battle. Take control of giant robots on a battle map, commanding them to defeat their enemies.
The battle switches between ally and enemy phases. Once the player has moved and attacked with their robots, the enemy takes their turn. When all enemies have been defeated, the game proceeds to an Intermission.
During Intermission, the player can use resources earned in battle to train pilots, upgrade robots, and earn bonuses for their army. They then can proceed to the next chapter of the adventure.
In Super Robot Wars, players can enjoy a unique experience that combines all-star mecha series crossovers, action-packed attack animations, and the chance to upgrade your favorite machines and pilots.
