    Default Robot/mech type games

    What is there anyway? I know about Target Earth... And parts of Vectorman or Power Rangers as a stretch. Not much comes to mind. A popular if cliche concept with little developer love on the Genesis. East or west alike. I mean no Mechwarrior, no Super Robot Wars, no Gundam?? Gee. Japan must've been pretty baffled.

    What do you mean, no MechWarrior? There's BattleTech!

    Also, Metal Head for the 32X.

    And if you want Mech/Robot Fighters, there'S "Mazin Saga Robot Wars" and the mediocre "Heavy Nova". There's also "Cyborg Justice", but that one's pretty crappy.
    The funny thing about an oxymoron is, even if you remove the ox, there'll always be a moron. The Question Remains: Y?

    The answer to your question is in my avatar .

    Ranger-X is the best game on the system with a Mech/Robot, it's a bit complex but very fun with great graphics and awesome weapons.

    Soulstar (CD) has 3 stages where you play as a mech, although they're not very fun (hold B for turbo, makes it a lot better)

    Battlecorps (CD) is pretty cool too, but I haven't played it enough to tell you much about it.

    In Android Assault (CD) you turn into a mech when fully powered.

    Robo Aleste (CD) and Musha are shooters where you play as a mech.

    Battletech (Mechwarrior) is available and totally awesome although the music is pretty crappy and I can't figure out how to not get raped by enemy mechs.

    In the european version of contra hard corps (probotector) every character is replaced by a robot.

    There's Vectorman like you said.

    Mazin Saga is an interesting Beat'em up/Fighter although not that great.

    And then there's complete shit like Heavy Nova... UGH

    EDIT: Forgot Vixen 357, a strategy rpg with mechs. Unfortunately besides the EXCELLENT intro tune, most of the music is rather boring. And the graphics could be better.

    Sparkster; you start the game in one and there's more stages with you in it, I think the original Rocket Knight Adventures has it too - but I might be wrong...

    Yeah there's a stage with the robots in RKA too, but that's a bit of a stretch :P, it's just a mini game.

    Target Earth is probably a better Gundam action game game than any of the actual Gundam games released in the 16-bit era anyway.

    Mechs are one of my favorite things if you can't tell by my avatar. Sadly I can't think of any other games that haven't already been mentioned.

    Vixen 357 is a lot like Super Robot Wars just with original characters. I never got too far in it because of the language barrier though.

    Edit:

    Oh! Arrow Flash, duh. And I was just playing it too. It's another shmup where your ship transforms into a robot. Sort of Macross inspired.

    I also forgot about Exo-Squad.

    I've heard of this but I've never really tried it. Looks cool! Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
