Banpresto have been surreptitiously updating their Super Robot Wars Z website with lots of very shiny in-game screenshots. I would link directly but it's all flash-based unfortunately (I've nabbed an Orguss screen to your left though). What's very apparent thus far is how advanced their 2D rendering tech has gotten, as the previous OG games on the PS2 were suitably impressive on that front and Z only appears to be more so. Some of the character artwork is verging on realtime animation quality.

It only begs the question of how good the PS3 versions of SRW will look when Banpresto finally get around to releasing a 2D game on that (the 360 SRW was a poor man's port of the GC version, so not that great basically and all in 3D...ugh).

There's also a TV special on BS11 on the 28th June (between 10:30 and 11pm). SRWZ's PV will be premiered then, so if you live in Japan and have BS11 please enjoy it on our behalf.
