Super Robot Wars or Super Robot Taisen (abbreviated as SRW) is a series of strategy role-playing video games produced by the Japanese gaming company Banpresto, a division of Bandai, for various video game consoles and video game handheld consoles.

The game's main feature is the use of mecha units from multiple anime and manga titles, mixing them together in a battle simulation and adding a complex plot involving some of their respective storylines, characters, and backgrounds. Another feature is a simple menu interface that can be understood by the gamer, even if he or she does not know how to read Japanese.

The very first game was released for the Nintendo Game Boy in 1991. The first anime mecha series featured on the game (and the ones usually present in all the series' games) are Mazinger Z, Getter Robo, and the earliest incarnations of the Mobile Suit Gundam series. The first two, both creations of famous Japanese manga artist, Go Nagai, and his production company Dynamic Productions, are representatives of the super robot type of units, while Gundam, realized by Yoshiyuki Tomino, represents the Real Robot type of units.
