Gundam Musou 3 - Article from Famitsu (Translated)

On Nov 23rd, BandaiNamco held an event to promote Gundam Musou 3 for PS3 and Xbox360. The game will officially launch Dec 16, 2010.  During the event, some of the attendees were given the chance to experience the game. Our very own Basara Satou went and checked it out. Below are the characters he was able to check out.

Most characters and mobile suits in Gundam Musou 3 are new. The attendees were shown some fight scenes and the highlight was definitely the Unicorn Gundam especially the SP attack (a type of attack which you can use while being hit and lose the SP gauge, a powerful attack.) After you use this, you change form and become destroy mode which is super powerful! The attack speed becomes faster and it's much more elevated than other suits.

At the scene was Coe-Techmo Games Producer Mr. Koinuma and we asked him what he thought, "Unicorn Gundam is definitely very strong. People who haven't played any of the previous Mosou series or who doesn't have confidence playing action games is a must try!" If you don't know what suit to use, just start with the Unicorn. Other things we noticed is that the enemy's attacks are very strong as well.  With a few hits from a Zaku's bazooka and your energy will disappear really quick. The new system, if you charge or SP attack the enemy, the blast will damage the surrounding. Especially with some Zakus with a little energy left, they will explode resulting in big time satisfaction!

Another new component that you cannot forget is the partner strike. For example Haman's Quebley can be call upon to perform a partner strike (once you conquer a special area you will be able to save a partner gauge to call on support). If you do this, funnels will go in all direction in a set time and reek havoc. You can cover a lot of area and also save up on SP gauge so it's a very useful tool. Difference characters have difference skills like the Psycho Gundam who can shoot and attack beam and kill enemies instantly.
