As for the download code, my gut feeling is that the Model 7 will be an unlockable within the game for everyone, but the code just lets you release it immediately so it shows up in your inventory instead of having to jump through hoops first. Makes more sense than giving you an update patch.

When playing SD Gundam G Generation Wars(PS2), I think "why they don't release this game in English instead?". While I think it is impossible but many Gundam games released in English are just some stupid 2d fighting and hack-and-slach action games, no turn-based strategy games.

I guess we wouldn't know exactly how well they'd do until they try. Even Fire Emblem was thought to be unpopular until they actually released it. It's more a question of whether Bandai is willing to risk it, and the high licensing cost.

Remember X-Com, anyone? Yeah? But as Bright pointed out, Advanced War did very well here. Although games like Super Robot Wars probably won't make it here due to licensing issues. *sigh* - Tak

Wasn't sure where to place this, but this is a 7-minute OVA made for the upcoming Gundam Senki game:
Badass GM Command Space Type, plus Zeong, Guncannon and of course Gundam is

Games like these are generally popular among the more hardcore gamer that likes crunching numbers and the feeling of controlling a large scale conflict. Unfortunately your average casual gamer probably doesn't have the time for a game like Gihren's Greed where you manage so much at one time and a turn can last upwards of an hour and a half. Also keep in mind that a fair number of tactics games are basically Fire Emblem clones and that these games have been getting less and less micro-managing oriented as they are being released in the U.S. I wonder if there's a correlation. Also in my eyes the grand tier of simplified casual to hard core micromanaging level strategy games when it comes to mecha franchises go from simpliest to most complex, Super Robot Wars -> SD Gundam G Generation -> Gihren's Greed. |

I do agree that the management-heavy TBS games might be a bit much for a lot of people over here. A lot of my friends don't like playing them...

And that game is about as complex as you can expect from the grand strategy genre. - Tak

In Japan, gaming-wise, you have different styles of games covering the mecha and characters already. On the home front, "Super Robot Taisen" and "Gundam Battline" cover the strategic and mix-match part, and "GvG" covers the fast-paced action one. On the arcade side, you have the dying "Gundam Card Builder" for the first, and "GvG:N" (now) and "Senjou no Kizuna" for the second. Players are, IMHO, already used to different things through exposure.

Hmm, I love games like Gundam SEED Destiny Generation CE, and I am probably one of the few who pretty much beaten Macross: Skull Leader for the PC NEC-98 to death. I guess instinctively, I associate Macross & Gundam on a very grand scale, and thus expect TBS or associated strategy games to be released based on those series.
I suppose that is why I love Super Robot Wars (@3 still the best), and as far as action games go, even Another Century Episode done a great job in conveying that grand epicness. - Tak
