You may remember that SD Gundam was the best selling PSP game ever in Japan, selling more than 150,000 units in its first week alone. It looks like Bandai and Sony are ready to kick some ass again. Battle Royale allows four players to jump into their favorite Gundam and fight against or with their friends in a pretty cool-sounding cooperative mode. It looks like the entire franchise is represented in this outing, so Gundam geeks are going to go wild when this game hits Japan in October.

I didn't really like the first iteration of the game. It's not that it was boring, it was just... well, subpar. I think Japanese people buy them because they are Gundam, not because they are the best games out there.
Go figure.

Gundam Battle Tactics, despite its misleading name, was actually a half-decent title. Of course, it wasn't the best, but out of the gundam-themed action-simulators, it was one of the betters ones; it was certainly better than Federation vs. Zeon for the PS2.
However, this game will be a clear-cut improvement. It's got space-combat; a solid roster of obscure units, and even a larger coverage of the Gundam UC sagas from 0079 to Zeta. I am actually looking forward to this title.
