# Super Robot Taisen D Introduction ## Overview *Super Robot Taisen D*, released on August 8, 2003, for the Game Boy Advance by Banpresto and developed by AI, is the fourth GBA entry in the *Super Robot Wars* series. Players command mecha from anime like *Mobile Suit Gundam SEED* and *The Big O* to battle alien invaders and other threats across 40+ missions (*Wikipedia*). It introduces the Twin Battle System for combo attacks (*superrobotwars.fandom.com*). Vibrant sprites and deep strategy earned praise (*Famicom Tsūshin*: 32/40), though complex menus were noted (*GameFAQs*). ## Why Play Super Robot Taisen D? *Super Robot Taisen D* blends tactical combat with anime crossovers. Players control units like Gundam SEED’s Strike Gundam through grid-based missions, upgrading mechs and pilots with credits and Pilot Points (*GameFAQs*). The Twin Battle System lets adjacent units combine attacks for bonus damage (*superrobotwars.fandom.com*). Missions take 15-30 minutes; the campaign lasts 20-25 hours. Its strategic depth and anime roster appeal to *Super Robot Wars A* and *Kunio-kun* fans, distinct from *Need for Speed: Underground 2*’s racing or *Captain Tsubasa V*’s sports RPG (*@RetroGamingX*). ## Key Features - Command mecha across 40+ grid-based missions - Single-player tactical RPG with *Gundam SEED*, *The Big O* - Twin Battle System for combined unit attacks - Upgrade mechs and pilots with credits and Pilot Points - Turn-based combat against alien and human threats - Authentic GBA gameplay on our retro ROM platform ## Key Differences: Game Boy Advance vs. Other Versions - **Game Boy Advance (2003)**: Japan-only, colorful 2D sprites, Twin Battle System (*Wikipedia*). - **Compared to Super Robot Wars A (2001, GBA)**: *D* adds Twin Battle System, *Gundam SEED*; *A* has dual protagonists (*GameFAQs*). - **Compared to Super Robot Wars Original Generation (2002, GBA)**: *D* uses licensed anime; *OG* is original-only (*Sega-16*). - **Compared to Need for Speed: Underground 2 (2004)**: Tactical RPG vs. open-world racing (*GameSpot*). - **Compared to Captain Tsubasa V (1994, SNES)**: Mecha strategy vs. soccer RPG (*Wikipedia*). - **Re-releases**: None; fan-translated ROMs available (*romhacking.net*). ## Play Super Robot Taisen D Online Play *Super Robot Taisen D* (2003, GBA) instantly on Classic Joy Games with GBA emulators.
