Arcade Gundam Game Being Scaled Down For PSPs

***wraggster*** · January 7th, 2009, 16:34

On March 26 Mobile Suit Gundam: Senjou no Kizuna becomes Mobile Suit Gundam: Senjou no Kizuna Portable. We’ve seen other arcade ports come to the PSP, but this one is rather unusual since Mobile Suit Gundam: Senjou no Kizuna has a pod-like arcade cabinet.

Not sure how the novelty of sitting in a dome is going to transfer to a tiny PSP screen, but Namco Bandai probably picked the PSP because of the popularity of ad-hoc Monster Hunter linkups. Similar to the PSP Monster Hunter games Mobile Suit Gundam: Senjou no Kizuna has a network feature. Eight players can link up and battle in four vs. four Gundam matches presumably in the comfort of a fast food restaurant. Mobile Suit Gundam: Senjou no Kizuna is bound to bring in cash for Namco Bandai and McDonalds.

I have a better Idea. keep the crappy as umd, and the PSP. just let me buy an English version of that game. And I won't have to fly to save money, fly to japan, find an arcade that has it, break in after hours, and try to get back to my Newfoundland Canada home on the other side of the world.

Unfortunately, gundam games aren't very popular in the US (I personally love 'em)
