Bandai Namco has recently announced that the May update for their Super Robot Wars SRW X-Ω (Cross Omega) mobile game will feature the Daizyujin from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. American fans will know this as the first season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. It is worth noting however, that Zyuranger's debut it part of a special collaboration event and is only available for a limited time.
This is the first time a Super Sentai/Power Rangers series has appeared in an Super Robot Wars game (SRW for short), as the franchise is often restricted to mecha like Gundam, Macross, Gurren Lagann, Evangelion, etc. However, since its debut in Japan for smartphones in 2015, the X-Omega game has featured various shows normally not within the mecha genre, including Crayon Shin-chan, the Idolmaster, and Godzilla.
Historically, the Super Sentai series did appear in one crossover back in the Famicom (the Japanese NES). SD Battle Oozumo was sumo wrestling game featuring characters from Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Gundam, and Super Sentai (specifically Turbo Ranger, Liveman, Flashman, and Jetman. All four predate Zyuranger).
Zyuranger will make its grand debut in SRW X-Omega in May for the iOS and Android.
