Super Robot Wars 30! Coming to the west!
I, uh, may have preordered the Asian version of Super Robot Wars 30 too fast. Because for the first time ever, a non-OG SRW game is coming to North America. (And South America, except Venezuela. And Europe. And Australia.)

30-Day Video Game Music Challenge Day 27: Handheld
“Music from a handheld game”
I’ve already had a few of those; the Bravely Default boss theme might even be the best thing on this whole list. But even the original Gameboy had some very good music.
30-Day Video Game Music Challenge Day 26: Haven’t Played
“Music from a game you haven’t played”
I would play Getter Robo Daikessen, if I could play it in English.
