Super Operation Machine MG

Giant robot games such as Alchemic Drive and Tetsujin 28-go have enjoyed sizable audiences in recent years. Nintendo takes the concept to task in their interpretation of the robot controlling game with stylus control for a more hands-on approach. The robots in Super Operation Machine MG are called Marionette Gears which measure 30 meters tall. The MGs differ in look and function as well as the operation and control scheme. Once the handler steps into the cockpit of an MG, the controls are laid out on the touch screen with the ability to move the robot and attack by manipulating the levers, yokes, modified control pads, buttons, and other controls based on the type of MG at hand. Missions may consist of simple skirmishes while others feature races where an MG vehicle is used to beat competitors.
