Please don't use a word like "crash" around computer products...

Second to worst is that this game wont leave JP, while its likely costs $100.

I wonder why Gundam games aren't released outside Japan anymore (well, the last one was the Gundam Dynasty Warriors game a few years ago). The PS2 had a Gundam game. So why not release these games here? I'm not sure how popular Gundam is outside Japan, but if a a developer like NIS is able to continue selling niche games like the Disgaea franchise, I'm pretty sure a Gundam game would do at least decent outside Japan.

I love me some robot games, but the sad truth is that Gundam games don't really sell well in the west anymore. I'm forced to import games like Gundam EXtreme vs. and Another Century's Episode R...Initial D too...

GenericNameHere4061d ago

Any reason why Gundam games don't sell anymore? Is it because the Gundam franchise just isn't popular (anymore) outside Japan, or is it because there are barely any games focused on giant humanoid mechas?

I don't remember games like Dynasty Warriors selling like crazy, but they're still being made, and even released outside Japan.

Soplox4061d ago

Yeah is because the stupid Call of Duty and the FPS Genre.

Same reason they don't distribute videos overseas: Bandai's gotten greedy. They'd rather gouge loyal fans on imports than chance increasing that same audience.

Coming to America?

gunboss2013835d ago

Sadly it's gonna be hard. the PSP versions of Gundam were never Localized..

-Gespenst-3835d ago

This looks great. I wonder if there's any chance of it landing on western shores?

imXify3835d ago

Well that was funny and wierd to watch.
"GUNDAM BREAKAAAAARH!!!"
Lol !

Lboogieskells3835d ago

Dammit I need to learn Japanese!

Hicken3835d ago (Edited 3835d ago )

Seeing a Zaku head on a Gundam body just feels... wrong. I feel violated.

Edit: That commentary was so uncalled for. I could only understand about half of it, but listening to it still got me all hyped up.

Death3834d ago

That was bizzare. Game looks great. Think we can import and play it on a western Vita?

Hicken3834d ago

Should be no problem. System and games are region free(will possibly need a memory card specifically for it and other Japanese games, but that's probably just needed for PSN accounts).

If I get it, I'm making an RX-79g GM Head. 08th MS Team, baby!
