I'm starting to wonder how all the goddess would react to all the Super Robot Wars games? I can imagine the Spring Goddess having an absolute fit most of the time.

Eh, think most of them will like SRW. They like the Gundam series, they also like other mecha stuff, so SRW sounds like match made in heaven of them. And G-Forest will be absolutely gushing over it since most of the in-game models are in SD scale. G-Thunder too because she likes games.
So long as they don't, like, bend canon overmuch (for stuff they care about) or treat their favorite MS (or characters) like crap. Which I don't think will happen with SRW.
Long-winded stuff about G-Spring Goddess
G-Spring Goddess herself seems quite okay with fanon reimaginations, as seen in the two "hypothetical Gunpla battle" arcs. For the first one she imagined highly souped-up custom Daughtresses Neo (that practically identical to both the Virsargo and Ashtaron in function if not in name). For the second she exhorted Gunpla Boy to do something similar and then approved of the mass-production version of the 'Turn A' (fake) he came up with. She only snapped at him when he insinuated she would just pull out a Hygogg for the Turn A setting.
Basically, think she's okay with creative interpretation of canon and crossovers and fanon add-ons so long as some effort is made to justify their inclusion. Or in her earlier words, if the "worldbuilding" and "setting" fits.
The reason why I think she snapped at the two GIRLS was because they were kinda 'dissing' the Dom's design (not that they were intending to; they were just 'deconstructing' things). First by 'dissing' the Giant Bazooka it carries as its default armament (for the earlier Doms), and then kinda implying that it was stupid for not carrying back-up weapons when in fact it does. Next they started gushing about shields (while implying that the default Dom doesn't have a shield), all the while ignoring the default spiked shield/knuckle shield it comes with. So... yeah, that was likely what caused G-Spring to snap back then. Again, I don't think the GIRLS intended to actually diss the Dom, but from the Goddess view it might sound like they were.
Or in other words, sure you can put other sidearms or gatling shields or shield lances or what have you on a Dom, especially if you also make some effort to justify it in-lore, and the G-Spring Goddess would be fine with it. But if you imply that the Dom lacks sidearms in the first place (when it does), or that it lacks firepower, or that it doesn't have a shield but needs one (when it fact it already has a shield)... that will tick her off.
Or... in other, other words, like most fans who aren't complete diehard purists, she's fine with canon being bent or added-to and such. But if canon is being ignored or actively broken, or even worse if it's (accidentally) implied to be stupid... welp, there goes her buttons.
That said, then again... she did have that weird reaction to the SRW-original Hucklebein Mk. II back in Cap. V. That scene was rather... ambiguous, and I don't know what to make of it.
Edit: Oh wait, nevermind... Cyclops Team (G-Spring Goddess' favorites!) gets shat on both in SRW Taisen GC and SRW Taisen OE. Basically a miniboss squad that gets curbstomped by the player who gets ridiculous amounts of troops (and reinforcements) to field. Yeah... that could potentially give her a reason to dislike SRW (and the Hucklebeins, by extension). Though this is all speculation on my part.
