Due out this winter, so presumably not too far off from the Japanese launch.

This is the first time for both a Vita Gundam and a modern VS to be in English.

FataIChoice · Sep 16, 2015

Let's hope it's well translated, that sword art game was terribly written and unless I am mistaken it was also a Asia English release.

Tizoc · Sep 16, 2015

Interesting, well even if it doesn't get an official Western release this would be a good alt.

Infernal Monkey · Sep 16, 2015

Nice, will import~

raven777 · Sep 16, 2015

It's real shame that there is no network multiplay mode other than ad-hoc.

Still very excited.

GloriousBagel · Sep 16, 2015

Nice, will import ^__^

Piccoro · Sep 16, 2015

Will import too.
Never played any game in the Extreme VS series. It will be nice to be able to read it!

IrrelevantAlex · Sep 16, 2015

Day one import. I love me some Gundam.
It's just adhoc 1v1 right?

donkey show · Sep 16, 2015

Small steps, but it's happening!

phants · Sep 16, 2015

Day zero! I'm all kinds of excited for this - I wonder if there will be another special edition Vita for it? I assume not :/

Amazing.

Now this will work with a PSTV right? Just for giggles, anyone know what sort of hoops do I need to go through to get a Madcatz Tekken Hybrid PS3 Arcade Stick to work with it.

Either way really happy to see some English support even if its that hard to navigate in Full Boost.

kurahador · Sep 16, 2015

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Kresnik258 · Sep 16, 2015

How bizarre. Is this something that Sony are handling?

Nope. Bandai Asia are doing the localization.

We are looking forward to bring MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM series fans an English localized version of the game at long last. We are in the midst of localization and hope to bring a good quality product that everyone can enjoy, so do look forward to the release in winter. said Rainel Tan, General Manager at Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia.

NinjamicWZ · Sep 16, 2015

I'm on that for sure. Thanks for the heads up.

Oh, very nice. I wonder what has made them take the initiative on this one.

Hmmm...hope they won't hire the same team who did Sword Art Online english translation.

Maybe we'll get Super Robot Wars next if this does well.

Bandai Namco has done a lot of focus on Asia and its not just for the console / handheld stuff too.

Usobuko · Sep 16, 2015

Fine.

I'll buy it.

Danneee · Sep 16, 2015

Gundam? PS4? English?

Instabuy!

Corto · Sep 16, 2015

I'll buy it.

crimilde · Sep 16, 2015

Will definitely import, one can never have enough Gundam.

Guymelef · Sep 16, 2015

This doesn't have online... right?

cardinalmind · Sep 16, 2015

I'm actually saving for it now. Hope to be able to buy it on Day 1.

Is that a typo ?
Because the game is only coming on Vita.

Powwa · Sep 16, 2015

Wow, great news. Will buy for sure, hoping for a Play-Asia listing soon.

Jawmuncher · Sep 16, 2015

So what has been the reason for no gundam localization anyway? Licensing or thinking it won't sell?

donkey show · Sep 16, 2015

Englished localized title image...

Dat font :S

I think it's both.

immortal-joe · Sep 16, 2015

Dear English speakers in Asia,

Have you tried Yakuza yet?

Cornbread78 · Sep 16, 2015

Sounds good. Why wouldn't they just dump it onto NA PSN then?

I think they need to explicitly support it. Skullgirls supports PS3 sticks connected to a Vita TV for example but they are the only game that does to my knowlesge.

WTF are you talking about.

Everyone is excited for Quattro Vagina.

Tizoc · Sep 16, 2015

Cornbread78 said:

Because it's Gundam; they'd need to deal with licensing costs, etc. for the brand to be legally released in non-Asian territories. I don't even want to consider if there are even music licenses too...

EDIT: Non the less if they manage to be able to have it released in western regions, then they good job on them, will be getting it.

Callibretto · Sep 16, 2015

Does this game even have story mode? It's mostly menu and stats right? I had one of the exvs game on ps3. You can play it pretty well even without knowing japanese.

This one is supposedly more "single-player-focused". Who knows what exactly that means.

Is it happening? This makes it even hurt more it's not a PS4 release of the latest arcade version.

sixteen-bit · Sep 16, 2015

Nice, will cop.

I wonder if this means NA will get it digitally.

LMN · Sep 16, 2015

Definitely gonna get Asian version.
This game is currently adhoc only accoding to the official website, but with the localization in Asian region, hopefully they will implement online as well

Shizuka · Sep 16, 2015

In, in, in!

If they just pull a DW:Gundam and rip the licensed music out, I don't see why not. Buuuuuut I doubt that.

If anything, we should just spam Bamco NA and hope for the best.

Atcha · Sep 16, 2015

YES !

What about Sony Third Party Production & Developer Relations guy Gio Corsi?

Shinriji · Sep 16, 2015

Gonna put my preorder at ww.

DunpealD · Sep 16, 2015

Are they hoping for market penetration like with SAO by localizing it into english? If yes, I hope there is a chance that it makes to the west including the arcade ports.

EDIT: I am looking forward to the traslation. Hopefully it will be at least on par with SAO:HFv1. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

matmanx1 · Sep 16, 2015

Fantastic news! I guess this is about as close to a "western" release of this game as we are ever likely to see so I am going to go ahead and thank NB for doing the Asia/English version. Thank You!

Makes sense. Go go go!

Guess I've avoided making an HK PSN account long enough.

I just hope Vita isn't too "legacy" for SCEA at this point
