Macross Ace Frontier is gearing up for an October 9 PSP release over in Japan. Bandai Namco has turned the marketing machine into overdrive, and today shared a bunch of new screens and art, along with a list of songs that will feature in the game.
As anyone who's seen the anime will tell you, Macross has somewhat of a strong bond with music. The game will reflect that with a mix of vocal and instrumental tracks.
Fans should see if they remember any of these:
Macross, Macross: Do You Remember Love
Watashi no Kare wa Pilot (Mari Ijima)
Ai: Oboeteimasuka (Mari Ijima)
Shao Pai Long (BGM only)
Unmei no Ya (BGM only)
Macross (BGM only)
Dog Fighter (BGM only)
Zentradi Daiyousai (BGM only)
Macross Plus
Information High (with vocals)
After, In the Dark (BGM only)
Fly Up in the Air Tension (BGM only)
Macross 7
Totsugeki Love Heart (Fire Bomber)
Holy Lonely Light (Fire Bomber)
My Friends (Fire Bomber)
Try Again (Fire Bomber)
Planet Dance (BGM only)
Macross Frontier
Lion (May'n/Ai Nakajima)
Iteza Gogo Kuji DON'T BE LATE (Sheryl Nome starring May'n)
Aimo (BGM only)
Triangler (BGM only)
Target the (BGM only)
As indicated by the source list for the songs, Ace Frontier pulls its content from the entire Macross universe. The same seems to hold true for its gameplay systems, as the game includes a unique battle system that's based around Macross 7.
Players make use of this system exclusively when piloting as Macross 7's Basara Nekki. Rater than pummelling his opponents with missile barrages, Basara Nekki fights with music. To defeat your enemies, you sing, making their "will to fight" guage deplete. Once this guage has reached zero, the enemy will flee.
The new media Namco Bandai handed out today show a variety of mecha and characters along with the Ace Frontier official illustration. For importers, this will hopefully be enough to hold you over until the October 9 release.
