# Super Robot Wars: Original Generation 2 Introduction ## Overview *Super Robot Wars: Original Generation 2*, released on February 3, 2005, for the Game Boy Advance by Banpresto and developed by Winkysoft, is the sequel to *Super Robot Wars: Original Generation* (2002). Set six months after the Divine Crusaders War, players lead the ATX or SRX teams, piloting mecha like Grungust against new threats: the Einsts and Inspectors (*Wikipedia*). It features a branching storyline and enhanced battle animations (*GameFAQs*). Praised for depth (*IGN*: 8/10), it was criticized for complex menus (*GameSpot*: 7/10). ## Why Play Super Robot Wars: Original Generation 2? *Super Robot Wars: Original Generation 2* delivers intense tactical RPG gameplay. Players control original mecha through 40+ missions, upgrading units and pilots with credits and Pilot Points (*superrobotwars.fandom.com*). New chain attacks hit multiple enemies, and the Twin Battle System allows paired unit combos (*visualboyadvance.org*). Missions take 15-30 minutes; the campaign lasts 20-25 hours with branching paths. Its strategic depth and original cast, including Kyosuke Nanbu and Ryusei Date, appeal to *Super Robot Wars R* 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 branching storyline - Twin Battle System for paired unit attacks - Upgrade mecha (e.g., Huckebein, Astelion) and pilots - Fight Einsts, Inspectors, and Divine Crusader remnants - Authentic GBA gameplay on our retro ROM platform ## Key Differences: Game Boy Advance vs. Other Versions - **Game Boy Advance (2005/2006)**: English release in 2006, branching story, chain attacks (*Wikipedia*). - **Compared to Super Robot Wars: Original Generation (2002, GBA)**: *OG2* removes story selection, adds chain attacks, new enemies (*GameFAQs*). - **Compared to Super Robot Wars R (2002, GBA)**: *OG2* uses original cast, no time-travel; *R* has licensed anime (*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**: *Super Robot Wars: Original Generations* (2007, PS2, remake) (*superrobotwars.fandom.com*). ## Play Super Robot Wars: Original Generation 2 Online Play *Super Robot Wars: Original Generation 2* (2005, GBA) instantly on Classic Joy Games with GBA emulators.
