Get ready to immerse yourself in the world of Mobile Suit Gundam like never before with Extreme Vs., the latest installment in the Gundam VS series. Developed and published by Namco Bandai Games, this 3D arcade fighting game promises to deliver an unparalleled gaming experience.

Gameplay Evolution

Extreme Vs. builds upon the successful formula of its predecessors, introducing new gameplay mechanics that will revolutionize the way you play. The game features a resource meter system, where each team has a set amount of points that decrease when a mobile suit is destroyed. The goal is to deplete the opponent’s meter before yours runs out.

New Features and Modes

Extreme Vs. introduces two new gameplay modes: Extreme Action and Extreme Burst. Extreme Action allows players to cancel their attacks into dashes, enabling them to create complex combos and strategies. Extreme Burst, on the other hand, is a super mode that grants players increased power and abilities.

The game also features a new Trial Mission Mode, exclusive to the PlayStation 3 release. This mode offers a series of challenging missions that test players’ skills and strategies.

Playable Units and Bosses

With over 50 playable mobile suits from various Gundam series, Extreme Vs. offers an unprecedented level of diversity and choice. From the iconic RX-78-2 Gundam to the powerful GN-0000 00 Gundam, each mobile suit has its unique abilities and playstyle.

The game also features a range of formidable bosses, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Defeat them to unlock new mobile suits and upgrade your arsenal.

Voice Cast and Soundtrack

The game boasts an all-star voice cast, featuring renowned Japanese voice actors and actresses. The soundtrack is equally impressive, with pulse-pounding music that perfectly complements the game’s fast-paced action.

Trivia and Fun Facts

• Each mobile suit has its unique explosion effect, lifted from their respective source materials.
• The game’s intro movie sometimes depicts scenes that never happened in the original series.
• The producer of the Extreme Vs. series, Ryuichiro Baba, has expressed interest in localizing the game for Western audiences, but licensing costs have proven to be a significant obstacle.
