October 2011 Update #1

What's good folks? We have a few bits of news in turn based tactics land.

New trailer for SD Gundam G Generation 3DS and 3DS bundle. If the bundle is cheaper than a plain Japanese 3DS + game, it's probably worth it if you plan on playing other Japanese Region Locked 3DS games like Fire Emblem, Super Robot Wars, and anything else that happens to be published.



A Sega rep confirmed what we already knew, that Valkyria Chronicles 3 will not be seeing an official English translation.

Touch Arcade review of a new iPhone/iPod Touch strategy game called Squids. In this game you take turns ricocheting sea life into enemies, a bit of a departure from the usual grid based format.

Panzer Corps expansion pack announced. This is an excellent turn based strategy game for PC that has drawn a lot of comparisons to Panzer General.

I was made aware of a card based tactics game called JollyGrim. While this isn't exactly a turn based game, it's grid based, tactical, and features a lot of strategy, so you may want to check it out.

I'm still playing through the Super Robot Wars series. I've been playing through F and F Final which combined is a 79 scenario campaign, so it's quite a long haul. Looking forward to getting into the more modern games in the series, especially animation skipping. If you would like to read my current playthrough log for Super Robot Wars F/FF check out this in progress text here.
