Bandai Namco held a newSuper Robot Warsstream on October 25, revealing the PV 3 and DLC Pack 2 ofSuper Robot Wars 30, most notably showcasingUltraman.
UltramanjoinsSuper Robot Wars 30as part of DLC Pack 2
This is the first time ever thatUltramanis featured inSuper Robot Wars. WhileSuper Sentaiand evenSpace Sheriffseries showed up in mobile gameSRW Cross Omega,Ultramanwas still one of the sole veterans of the Tokusatsu genre who didn’t.
Producer Takanobu Terada explained on stream that sinceSuper Robot Wars 30hasGridman, they tried to ask if they could addUltramanas well, and they could.Ultramandirectly influenced some of the most iconic mecha series ever, likeEvangelion, so it’s great to see it debut in the 30th-anniversary game.
Super Robot Wars 30 DLC 2adds Ultraman, Ultraman Seven, Ultraman Ace.Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphansis also getting added. Producer Terada confirmed that while they don’t show up in the trailer,Gundam Bael and Gundam Flauros also appear.
Lastly, the twoOriginal Generationcharacters are Excellen and Kyosuke. Excellen is still voiced by the late Yuko Mizutani, using lines she recorded in the past. In a previous stream, producer Terada once mentioned she will only get replaced if a newSuper Robot Wars OGanime is made.
Regarding KoRyuOh and RyuKoOh in DLC Pack 1, Terada mentioned he’s aware some fans are unhappy they counted them as the two OG units of the DLC even if it’s technically one unit that transforms. However, they did have to animate both, so it’s only fair they counted them separately.
Trailers, fun comments from the seiyuu
Tomokazu Sugita mentioned that the protagonist you didn’t pick will show up in the story. He added that if you pick his protagonist, Edge, “something good happens with captain Mitsuba”.Implying they start going out. Japanese fans jokingly mentioned this is a reference to the running seiyuu gag stating Tomokazu Sugita has an unrequited crush on Saori Hayami. Who voices Mitsuba inSRW 30.
Japanese food maker Calbee currently lets you name your own snacks on its official site. As long as it ends with “-co”. So Sugita is having fun lately making “Chirico” snacks.
Mai Aizawa was on stream too, as the voice of female OG protagonist Az, though she barely talked. She was having fun though.
Daisuke Sakaguchi introduced himself as “the voice of Uso inV Gundam, though I preferZeta Gundam”. He jokingly brought this up several times as the stream kept going. It was his first time appearing on anSRWstream.
Sakaguchi also mentioned how it was pretty hard voicing Uso. Because he did it right after the state of emergency due to Covid-19 was lifted in Japan. So he had to record a character he first voiced decades ago, right after he spent days at home without talking to anyone.
Nobuyuki Hiyama pointed out how Goldion Finger doesn’t show up in the anime. It’s the first time we saw it animated. Goldion Finger was also trending on Japan’s Twitter as the stream ended alongside Gridman, Ultraman, Orphens, etc.
Super Robot Wars 30new gameplay on Nintendo Switch (26:35 timestamp)
Some gameplay from a late free mission was shown with our protagonists fighting the Poseidal army. Terada mentioned they’re pretty strong and it gives offSRW Fvibes.
One of the BGMs you’re able to hear during the gameplay segment is the Enemy Phase BGM ofShin Super Robot Taisen. Terada mentioned he’d like to keep doing theShin SRWlet’s play live stream with Soichiro Morizumi but it’s unknown when’ll they’ll be able to do it again. As a side note, Soichiro Morizumi picked up streaming after thatfirst late-night talk show streamon July 22, 2025. He playsPSO2 NGSwith aXiaomu lookalike character.
Nobuyuki Hiyama was the one playing, but he usually plays on PS4 so he wasn’t used to the Switch controller at all. And did a lot of funny mistakes. Including Uso getting shot down right from the beginning. Terada prevented him from showing a bunch of finishers too.
During theSuper Robot Wars DDsegment, Terada mentioned a newCrossing Pilotevent might be happening soon. However, it’s not set in stone yet and it’s pretty hard to set up. But if they manage to pull it off it’ll be huge.
New 196 pages, full colorSuper Robot Wars OGmecha and character artbook
The toys and merch segment at the end of the stream most notably included a look at this new art book. The back cover of the artbook, the same as on the poster seen above, is a brand new piece drawn by character designer Sachiko Kohno. It’s the first time she’s drawing Almana fromAlpha 3in years. And the book contains newly drawn artwork references of Almana for the front and back of her costume.
