Dibs on the Char clone
After years of surviving on a thin stew of import model kits and Crunchyroll viewings of Iron Blooded Orphans, North American Gundam fans are finally getting some love. Namco Bandai is bringing Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. Force (that’s a heck of a title) to our western Vitas.
The Vita release will include Virtual-On like 2-on-2 arena duels where mech pilots square off in teams and try to compliment each other’s mechs and playstyle to get the upper hand on their enemy. There will also be a team battle mode where players take command of a small squad of Gundams and a battleship and do battle against a rival squad.
The Extreme Force mode seems to be the meat of the game and focuses on a mix of original missions and recreating scenarios from the Gundam universe. Sounds good to me so long as I get to play as Norris Packard and take out some Guntanks in a custom Gouf.
