Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS Force, which was previously dated for a PS Vita release on July 12 in the Americas (and now confirmed for the same date in Europe), will be a digital-only release, Bandai Namco announced.

The company also shared a new trailer and screenshots focused on nine new playable characters: 00 Gundam, Barbatos 1st Form, Barbatos 4th Form, Destiny Gundam (Heine), Gundam GP02, Mack Nife, Master Gundam, Strike Freedom, and Turn X.

Makes sense to me. The people who would be playing Gundam vs Gundam multiplayer and in tournaments don't like this SP-focused game at all, and the remaining market afterwards after all the potential multiplayer customers are gone seems exceedingly small for a physical release.

Kresnik258 · Jun 7, 2016

Glad I imported all those months ago

I actually really enjoyed this game. I know it's a disappointment for hardcore fans, but I really liked it for what it was. Reminded me of Future Cop LAPD in some ways.

beggers cant be chooses.

Im ok with this as i have essentially made my vita digital only

Grim Patron · Jun 7, 2016

This was known already when they announced it for the west.

Shinriji · Jun 7, 2016

Gonna import the asian english version then.

Primethius · Jun 7, 2016

No complaints from me. I like physical but I'll buy digital to support.

sensui-tomo · Jun 7, 2016

meh should have been gundam breaker 3, this will be another nail in a long line of nails on a coffin saying gundam games dont due well here due to stupid decisions.

donkey show · Jun 7, 2016

Yup, water is wet. But hey, at least it's coming out! They better go straight into version 1.4 with all the post launch content.

EDIT: The trailers say all the updates and DLC will be included. Yay!

Goodness, that ham lord gameplay though... xD

Heh.

Mugaaz · Jun 7, 2016

Hows this compare to Breaker?

mikefrails · Jun 7, 2016

At least we're getting it at all. I get tired of importing and paying more than retail.

imo breaker 3 is better, wait for the console iteration of this game to get released and buy that.

When's Maxi Boost?

Fine by me. Will purchase when it goes on sale.

I can dream for maxi boost to happen on consoles in japan to import :/
also this would be a better image

Digital or the Asia physical copy doesn't matter right, as it doesn't have any online play?

Less Vita resetting shenanigans if true.

It's just a matter of textual language. Everything else is the same.

Stalk · Jun 7, 2016

I got this dirt cheap on amazon.jp and actually really enjoyed it. I'm probably not the core market that was upset though, neat to see it still coming though.

wilflare · Jun 7, 2016

definitely getting this on US PSN (though I live in a place where Asian English physical copies are plentiful :X)

ShogunDarius · Jun 7, 2016

disappointing but not surprising

Zapages · Jun 8, 2016

does this work on PSTV? I only have PSTV.

I am not surprised. At least it has all the updates and Japanese DLC included in it.

Drayco21 · Jun 8, 2016

There goes all my interest in buying this just to support Gundam localization. I'll just take that money and put it towards importing Breaker 3 instead.

Yup, I've switched between my PSTV and Vita just fine.

Will this game be compatible with PlayStation TV?

Read the post above yours.

Read the threads before posting, sheesh.

RiderKairuu · Jun 8, 2016

Was to be expected. Definitely getting this even though I've heard some not so great things. I want to see more Gundam games in the west.

JKTrix · Jun 8, 2016

Ready to buy it again.

Mr Fahrenheit · Jun 8, 2016

I always get excited when I start reading a thread title with Extreme VS... Then I read Force and it all goes away.

Danny Dudekisser · Jun 8, 2016

I'm glad we're getting it, but digital-only is, as always, kinda bullshit.
