I'm happy to finally have an official English release of
Gundam Versus in my hands, but confused as to why it feels less feature rich than the last game.
One of the many games showcased during Sony's pre-TGS press conference was a new Mobile
Suit Gundam game from Bandai Namco.
Yesterday, Bandai Namco showcased the first gameplay of New
Gundam Breaker for PS4, and today we get the first footage in English.
On every Thursday and Saturday from June 1 to July 1 between 21:00 — 22:00 JST, players will be able to play the trial version
of Gundam Versus with a rotating set of units within that hour period.
It's being produced by Viking, which as we have pointed out before includes talent that has worked on a number of high profile arcade titles in the past, from the Mobile Suit
Gundam games to Street Fighter III and others.
In August 2013, Toyota in Japan launched an advertising campaign for the Auris, featuring Char Aznable from the Mobile Suit
Gundam series.
Considering that we're getting this much love from Bandai towards Hathaway's Flash and the inclusion of the mobile suits
in Gundam Extreme Versus Maxi Boost leads many to believe there are other plans for the series.
Looks like we have our first individual mobile suit gameplay trailer for
Gundam Extreme VS Maxi Boost ON!
Sega then busted out a trailer
for Gundam G Generation 3D.
Aegis is back after a 10 year absence
from Gundam Versus games.

With Gundam Breaker 2 being a popular title however, you will have no problems finding menu translations with a simple Google search — and after a few hours in the game, the need for the translations will be gone as you'll remember what everything is (the fact that upgrades are color coded makes it that much easier).
The Premium G Sound edition will feature 35 extra tracks that include Just Communication from
Gundam Wing and Orphans no Namida from Iron Blooded Orphans.
In a rather bizarre way, Bandai Namco have announced
Gundam Battle Operation Next for PS4 and PS3.
Understandably, when a collection such
as Gundam Side Stories was announced many people were obviously overjoyed.
This is not say that these games are mecha themed and getting that right is important, after all if the mobile suits depicted in
Gundam Musou all wore pink tutus, I doubt many Japanese salarymen would fork out the cash to play them.
Following suit was the PS Vita title
Gundam Seed Battle Destiny.
Bandai Entertainment, known for publishing anime series such as The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and the various
Gundam titles, has announced that they will no longer publish new manga, DVD and Blu - ray titles.
New Stages added New stages [Forest (Midnight), New Hong Kong (Sunset), and Minsry from
Gundam AGE] * Even though here says new stages, these two stage actually exist in the current game just that the stages will be shown in different day timing.
As someone who has long enjoyed animated giant robots who battle one another, I've admittedly not seen many of the various
Gundam animes.
Of course, the music you hear is composed by none other than Hiroyuki Sawano, the man behind the soundtrack of Mobile Suit
Gundam Unicorn.

In GVS, players take control of Mobile Suits from the popular
Gundam franchise, and fight in full 3D arenas.
The unit will also be released
on Gundam Extreme VS Force as part of the co-collaboration between the two games on March 9th.
The promo image above also shows
Gundam Barbatos Fourth Form from Iron Blooded Orphans as well.
Though once you got to that point the game did open up but it wasn't long until all your hard work was thwarted once again, when you ventured into the
Zeta Gundam story arc.
Fans of
Gundam Build Fighters, take note: there appears to be more building on the way.
Over the last two weeks, a large number of new
Gundam Side Stories DLC has been released by Bandai Namco.
Just like in the anime, it looks
like Gundam Virtue specializes in backline support with devastating firepower.
If
Gundam Vs. is rock, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT would fall under the math metal category (see Veil of Maya).
Courtesy of our good friends at HobbyLink Japan we've been sent the Metal Robot Damashii Hi -
Nu Gundam as seen in the novel Beltorchika's Children (one of the adaptations for Char's Counterattack).
It would be nice to
see Gundam Dynasty Warriors 4 as well, ha.
There were also three new arenas, one from Turn A and the others from
Gundam 00.
Having watched a couple of episodes from
various Gundam timelines and being exposed to the beat «em up genre of the Dynasty Warriors series, I was ready to mash some buttons and admire all the different mobile suits I would be able to pilot.
Bandai Namco have finally
announced Gundam Extreme Versus Force will be released on December 23rd.
I and many others would like to see
more Gundam games come west.
What other G
Gundam units should make the cut in the future?
While previously teased on banners before the game's official release last month, it looks like AGE - FX is finally joining the rest of the cast in
Gundam EXVS Maxi Boost On.
Check out the trailers for
Phantom Gundam and Nightingale below and let us know what you think!
This sort of high - flying action fits a flashy action game perfectly, which
makes Gundam Versus feel all the more disappointing.
