It's also famous for introducing Sega's VirtualOn characters, the first time another company's ''video game'' series was brought into the franchise.

* Super Robot Wars is actually a series part of the Characters/CompatiHeroSeries that gained its own game franchise. The games that were in the Compati Hero series were the following:

** ''The Great Battle'' (1-6): An ActionGame series mostly appearing on the Super Famicom, featuring SuperDeformed heroes such as [[UltraSeries Ultraman]], KamenRider, various Gundams and the original HenshinHero Fighter Roar. The series also spawn many spin-offs to various genres, such as ''Battle Pinball'', ''Battle Racer'', ''Battle Dodgeball'' and so on. Although these games seem to be free of plot, the fact Kouta Azuma uses a hoverboard, similar to the one used by Roar in ''Battle Racer'' and in the ''Endless Frontier EXCEED'' [[AudioAdaptation drama CD]] [[EpilepticTrees might tell us something]].
*** Important Banpresto Original characters debuting here: ''Fighter Roar'', ''Dark Brain'', ''Professor Kisaburo''
** ''Lost Heroes'' A return to the ideas of ''Hero Senki'' and ''The Great Battle'', Lost Heroes is an old-school RPG for the Nentendo DS featuring the Original Ultraman and UltramanMebius, Kamen Riders 1, [[KamenRiderDouble W]], and [[KamenRiderOOO OOO]], and the [[CharsCounterattack Nu Gundam]].

In western terms, imagine if Comicbook/TheAvengers ([[Series/TheAvengers both teams of that name]]), the JusticeLeague, SpiderMan, the [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Scoobies]], the Comicbook/FantasticFour, the XMen, the [[Series/DoctorWho Doctor]], and TheIncredibleHulk teamed up with GIJoe, [[StargateSG1 SG-1]], Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|Reimagined}} ([[Series/BattlestarGalacticaClassic the original]] and rebooted series), and the [[Series/{{Firefly}} crew of the Serenity]]. Inject them with industrial levels of weapons-grade [[HotBlooded hot blood]]. Now imagine the threat it would take to bring them all together, and imagine them ''[[CurbStompBattle pounding it flat]]''.

** ''Super Robot School'': A HighSchoolAU simulation spin-off based on the titles and sprites featured in Judgment, W and K, but replacing ''TekkamanBlade'' with ''[[GetterRobo Getter Robo Armageddon]]'' (which is really [[LazyArtist W's Shin Getter with pilot portraits from Destiny]]). The ''Original Generation'' version of Compatible Kaiser also appears. One of the saving graces are {{Moe}} characters designed by Eiji Komatsu (of the Deep-Blue series and {{Maburaho}}). Apparently based on a desire to expand the concept behind Link Battler and the XO multiplayer modes. Released for the DS in fall 2009.

** ''Shin Masou Kishin: Panzer Warfare'': Released around the same time alongside the Cybuster AnimatedAdaptation, it uses similar mecha designs for the Elemental Lords. Supposedly takes place in the far future when the civilization of La Gias has long since been forgotten, but the game's generally ignored by fans since it's somewhat disappointing. Although it brims with material for {{WMG}}, Banpresto never touched ''Panzer Warfare'' again...until the release of ''Super Robot Wars Z'', where this version of the Cybuster can be seen in the Shurouga's Ley Buster attack animation.
