    Will there also be a US release? I'm assuming this is Japan only.

    Well, the Unicorn is not a newcomer, since it was available in Next+. Now, those Crossbones look really awesome.

    I believe you assume correctly, Anon; it's very doubtful that a game based on an unpopular franchise will make it over to North America (or at least the U.S.). The last time the Gundam Vs. series made it overseas to over here was with Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam; basically Fed vs. Zeon and AEUG vs. Titans in one using the old engine, and it was panned. It's probably an understatement since Bandai didn't even try porting future games over at all (Gotcha Force not counting, even if it used the new engine the newer Gundam vs. games use).

    Not to mention that GEV is currently over a hundred dollars in our currency. Even if the Yen was equal to a Penny, it'd still be expensive.

    I'm surprised there was even an attempt to port over the Gundam Musou trilogy of games, even if it's just Dynasty Warriors with a Gundam theme. I don't think they're doing great with those, either.
