Super Robot Taisen OG: The Moon Dwellers.
The game in question is getting an English translation in Singapore and other nearby territories. I think this would be a good opportunity for GOG to bring a PC port of the game to the West. This has the following merits:
1 - There is a cult fandom for the series, despite most entries not being officially in English. There have been several successful fan translation projects, indicating a market. Unlike the mainline games, the Original Generation spinoffs are not leaden with red tape, so it should be reasonably easy for GOG to acquire the rights to distribute the game.
2 - This series has a large number of entries and is likely to go on for decades. It has been around since the early 90's. Future installments could end up on GOG.
3 - The company that developed the game has Namco-Bandai associated with them. This is a potential gateway for GOG to start creating the relationship needed for other properties that are tied to Namco. EG: Pac-Man, Tales, ect.
4 - Being a PS4 game, it should be relatively easy to port onto the PC. Further, some of the groundwork for a western release will already be done, due to the English-language translation that is being released for certain territories.
