Bandai Namco's unending cycle of Gundam, Super Robot Wars, Gundam, Super Robot Wars continues! Following last week's release of the Voltron-equipped Super Robot Wars W for the DS, the company wasted no time in announcing the latest DS Gundam game, SD Gundam G Generation Cross Drive.
This latest entry in the G Generation series is, expectedly, a grid-based strategy game. Bandai Namco is cramming over 120 stages into the game -- a record for the series. All controls are through the stylus, allowing for players to quickly edit their units, select movements, and zoom in and out of the battle map. The game also includes a mech editor, where you use parts that you've gathered from your enemies to create new, powerful Mobile Suits.
Joining the large number of battle stages is an even larger cast of characters. The title promises 15 Gundam properties, including Gundam, Z Gundam, Gundam ZZ, Gundam F91, Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory, V Gundam, Gundam W, Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny. Expect some 500 characters and 300 Mobile Suits to appear during battle.
This latest super deformed Gundam game will hit Japan on 5/31, presumably a week or so before we hear first details on the next Super Robot Wars title.
