Super Robot Wars 4 is the final game in the original Super Robot Wars timeline, sort of. While Super Robot Wars F and F Final do supplant it in the official canon, 4 of course predates them. It's also the last mainline Super Robot Wars game on the SNES, and is highly regarded amongst long-time Japanese fans. It's the first game in the series that lets you create your own main character, the first game to feature a karaoke mode, the first game to feature an encyclopedia of all the characters and units featured in the game, and perhaps most importantly, the first game that lets you pick whether to defend, evade, or counterattack for each enemy attack, rather than relegating counter options to an automatic squad-level general strategy.

The translation at this point is complete, and without any known issues. It also includes bonus patches for music persistence and English lyrics for the short-lived 1970s dub of the Mazinger Z theme song.
