Which translates to-

Nintendo Switch and STEAM version slated for release of "Super Robot Wars V" and "Super Robot Wars X" Details are published in "Weekly Famitsu" released on July 25. Please check it out!

This is HUGE!, and it strongly implies that these releases will be in English (subtitled) for Western release via Singapore. Japan's gaming culture, and thus its business, has been console and mobile--especially mobile--heavy for years. PC's been an afterthought, save for a few specific franchise entries, and Super Robot Wars has been one of the most Japan-centric franchises in videogames until two years ago. First with V on PS4, the team in charge has expanded what qualifies for the franchise as well as who can get it; with T you had a choice of what to play it on. This? If done right, it will make the audience for this series explode.

And the best part? This signals an openness to other heretofore unthinkable things, like Star Knight becoming part of the series.
