My time with Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme VS. It looks and feels like an arcade game akin to Virtual On, which honestly is a good thing. While it doesn’t push the hardware, it allows the game to move in a fast pace, even if it’s not a smooth 60 fps. Attacks and EX Bursts are flashy and work well with the style of the game. It’s not quite cel-shaded, but it has sharp lighting and shading all the same. The game does something interesting with shaders, making certain elements more eye-catching. Visuals are stylish and colorful, making each Mobile Suit stand out fairly well. Once you get the hang of things, you’ll be stunning opponents, dealing damage, and grasping victory in no time. It does take a little getting used to, especially with targeting your opponent. While I didn’t come across it in my demo, there are co-op attacks that players can perform as well. Activating the Extend Burst will power up your Mobile Suit, which can help give an advantage in battle. Some weapons run off of ammunition, which adds a layer of management to the game. Players can jump, dash and fly around the map to maneuver to and from their opponents. You’ll have two main attack buttons and two special attacks. The combat overall is surprisingly simple. Finally, the Extend Burst will extend the Burst time when activated, giving a longer power-up. Fighting Burst will focus on melee attacks while Shooting Burst focuses on ranged projectiles. Players will also be able to choose an EX Burst to activate, each with their own specialties. When defeating enemies, this cost is taken into account with an overall life gauge, higher cost units taking out a bigger chunk. Higher cost suits will be more powerful, with the weaker suits will be classified with a lower cost. When selecting characters, each one will have a cost. They even have many from the various manga stories that have come out over time. From the original Mobile Suit Gundam all the way to Hathaway’s Flash, there’s something here for any Gundam fan to love. Some of these pilots will even have multiple iterations of their Mobile Suits. Perhaps you fancy yourself a G Gundam lover? Well you’ll have Domon, Rain, Allenby, Master Asia and more to represent the series. Are you a Gundam Wing fan? Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Zechs Merquise and more are available to fight as. Even better, you’ll have stages and music directly from each series. Practically every iteration of the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise is here. Sporting nearly 200 mobile suits, Maxi Boost On really has quite the selection. Since it’s essentially an arcade game, there isn’t much focus on story, though perhaps Bandai Namco will surprise us. It also has a big emphasis on 2 vs 2 co-op matches. One other major difference is that Maxi Boost On is a 3D arena fighter. Maxi Boost On is like Battle Assault 2, but with far more representation. In that regard, Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme VS. While not the earliest example of a Gundam fighting game, it was my introduction to a crossover Mobile Suit Gundam game. I loved that game growing up and it was one I still reference to this day. My earliest Gundam fighting experience goes back to Gundam: Battle Assault 2 on the original PlayStation. During a preview event, GotGame had a chance to try the game out in an early build.

Originally released in arcades in 2016, this update is heading to PlayStation 4 systems sometime this year. Maxi Boost On is quite a mouthful, and the game is just as overwhelmingly packed with content from all over the franchise.

The series caters well to the fighting game genre, so it’s no surprise we’re getting a new fighting game. It will cost ¥8,800 and will be available wherever Gunpla kits are sold throughout Japan.Mobile Suit Gundam games have been around for decades, and the momentum doesn’t seem like it’s going to stop any time soon.

The new Gundam Virtue Gunpla kit is part of the Spring 2021 announcement lineup, but it won’t actually be released to collectors and builders until this coming November. Of course, the newly announced Gundam Virtue Gunpla kit is also compatible to transform with the parts of the Gundam Nadleeh.

You see, the Gundam Virtue actually is two Gundam machines in one: Gundam Nadleeh is hidden behind all the thick armor that is present on the Gundam Virtue machine. There is something about its two different modes that really appeal to me.

If I were to pick a favorite mobile suit, it would come down to the Unicorn Gundam or Gundam Virtue. We love building them and even getting our airbrushes out and painting them live on our Twitch channel each week. Gunpla is always at the forefront of our minds here at OTAQUEST. BANDAI SPIRITS announced an absolutely outstanding kit as part of its Spring 2021 lineup: Gundam Virtue from the first season of Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
