Famitsu’s scans dropped an early bomb with the announcement of a new Super Robot Taisen (already?!). It’s name is Operation Extended for the PSP, to be released as a download only title. 1st chapter will be available for 500¥, the remaining 7 chapters for 1000¥ (complete pack for 6940). Thanks to the folks at the GameFAQs UX boards.
So the latest entry in the G Generation franchise, given a hint of its existence last year from a trademark tweet, is revealed today. G Generation Frontier is a strategy game for iOS / Android, with all kinds of card-based social-like look and feel.
The actual release date wasn’t announced, but pre-release registration begins today (03/25). Early registered folks get a free White Base, it seems. For Japanese audiences only, obviously.

The most recent Nintendo Direct (02/21) shows off more scenes from UX, and a new downloadable video with added 3D effects is available at the eShop. The 3D effects are quite nice, being more noticeable on background depth as well as some other parts, but not much so on fullscreen cut-ins.
