This has a lot of similarities to the N64 entry. It’s a series involving mechs from various different franchises in an Advance Wars style turn based strategy game. The fight animations are now in 3D, which I don’t think suits the chibi style at all.
Looking online, and people say that this is the easiest Super Robot Wars games, due to being able to level up in a way that makes your units immensely powerful. However, I’m so bad they I couldn’t even finish the first level. I could destroy the main opponents, but then their minions arrived and whittled down the health of my three mechs.

Based on our initial impressions, Super Robot Wars GC looks like it’s everything a GameCube-owning SRW fan could want. Lots of robots, solid gameplay, and well-done graphics add up to deliver a strong package that the GameCube library is sorely in need of. The sad part of this story is that the game isn’t very import-friendly, so it’s not likely to hit the States. It would be great news if it did, but since no Super Robot Wars game has hit the US in the series’ decade-plus life, don’t hold your breath.

Remake or remaster?
A collection would be great for fans.
