A mysterious game has appeared on the latest release list from Japan's biggest games magazine, Famitsu. According to the list, the PlayStation 3 will be getting a game called Gundam Musou from Bandai Namco Games. The game is set with a TBA 2007 date.
411mania talks about this week's game releases. Highlights include DeathSmiles, Little King's Story, Fallout Trilogy, and Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2.
Do giant robots and a hack-n-slash battle system mesh well on the battlefield, or is this just one big next-gen piece of scrap?
Famitsu has revealed the top 100 total software sales for the region of Japan for the first half of the year 2007. In a bit of a suprise, a PSP title called Monster Hunter Portable 2nd tops the chart with 1,361,624 but from there on in comes the usual onslaught of Nintendo platform titles takes place.

Great game but it's the only game that I have for some reason that I get sick and tired of it, then I feel like playing it again and spend hours of my life trying to kill the FATALIS!!!
Anyway it's nice to see the PSP shine in Japan for once. Such a great handheld but overshadowed by Nintendo's handheld dominance. Even though the PSP lacks quanity compared to the DS, it has quality which is by far the most important aspect.
I'll expect Crisis Core to also topple the chart on October.
We should expect it to arrive late 2008 or early 2009 in North America. Glad to see a PSP game on top.
True and more than that, its DSomination. The list is DS,DS,DS,DS... with a few occational non-DS games.
i saw a video review of the current gundam game on the PS3 and that game is a complete mess. hopefully, the new one will be a major improvement. until then, the only mech game i'll look forward to is the new Armored Core.
Oh god another Bad game for PS3...Jesus...
Bandai owes us PS3 owners a big apology for the last Gundam game. Hell they should give this one away for free, but I understand how things can go at launch. Good to see at least that they haven't abandoned the series.
While I did enjoy one of their Gundam games for PS2, I would just like to see another company's interpretation of Gundam, along with many other series in fact. I actually think that AC4 looks more like a Gundam game should, gameplay-wise. This isn't to say that From Software should helm a Gundam project, but someone different, at least for a fresh twist, and for comparisons sake.
Oh well, I hope the next iteration is done well.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OO!!!!!!!!!!!
