Videos: Gundam The 3D Battle Promo

The near launch title for the 3DS, Gundam The 3D Battle has received its first promo video via the official site (shown below). It also turns out that this game is in fact being developed by Artdink and will be part of their ongoing Gundam Battle series. Whilst we weren’t impressed with the recent Gundam Assault Survive, the other games have been mostly excellent (with Gundam Battle Universe being notable). What does slightly freak us out though is the insanely large lock-on icon seen in this new game and whilst we get it’s meant to be in 3D you do feel they’ve overdone it a bit. It’s also painfully obvious that the game will re-use much of the same content seen in the PSP Gundam Battle games too, however we are happy to see that Gundam Unicorn will be represented in the game (which is at least something). Famitsu also has a selection of nice screenshots and it also seems that the cover art has been penned by Naochika Morishita yet again. The game is scheduled for a March 24th release at 6,090 yen.

The old Bandai is back! Yes! I’ve been tired of all these good games they’ve been releasing. I want the same thrill I had when I plopped down $110 for Gundam F91 on Super Famicom.

On a serious note…this isn’t very impressive looking, and this is the PROMO video? What do the rough parts look like?

3 hours of battery life and sub PSP quality graphics…hmm…I’ll have a 3DS for sure some day, but I’ll be holding onto my $250 for now.

The 3DS is an impressive idea, but I will be more interested to see how it works out over time, when the hardware gets pushed as the lifespan continues. As for the game, it really is just another game in the Battle series, but with apparently LESS content than both of the previous entries (Battle Universe is still my favorite of the series). The graphics aren’t a problem for me, but I feel like Bandai is starting to get the launch title fever and release less than great games for new systems (Target in Sight, anyone?)

Yeah it doesnt look very good, but graphics arent everything, has there ever been a good Gundam launch title? I dont think so, the name Gundam sells, so they will just pump out any old rubbish and quite a few people will still buy it, its better than making “random mecha game” and hoping for the best.

Anyway the 3DS is region-locked, this is a massive blow to me, not just for this game, but for future games, we know these type of games will never come to the west, its just so silly given the price of the machine, its got to be around 200pounds I think, I was hype for the 3ds but like you guys Im going to sit back and watch how it does, still love my OG DS.
