Video: Robot Battle Action Is On The Cards In This Gundam Try Age SP Trailer

Almost five minutes of footage for this forthcoming 3DS title

by Damien McFerran Mon 16th Jun 2014

We reported a while back on the 3DS port of Gundam Try Age, an arcade title which mixes massive robots with strategic card battling.

An impressively-proportioned trailer has now been issued for the game which not only includes a rather overenthusiastic voice-over, but also details the game's mechanics and core gameplay in a fairly comprehensive fashion. If only we could understand Japanese!

The game launches in Japan on July 17th. There's no word on a western release, and to be brutally honest, we wouldn't recommend holding your breath for one.

This would have to sell amazingly in its first month to even be considered for localisation. The Gundam franchise both anime and games have a long history of localisation issues.

As much as I love Gundam... I don't care so much for the card battler aspect. Give me a real Gundam game, if ever we get one again.

Dear Nintendo,

I have loved you since I was a kid because your games are awesome. But honestly could you please stop this whole Region Locking bullsh*t? It is time like this I wished I had a PS Vita.

Regards,
Nintendrone

@CanisWolfred @Genesaur Gundam extreme vs full boost is probably the best Gundam game ever made. You can import it from Japan if you have a ps3, most menus are in English anyway and there are online translation for other stuff.

im not a fan of the card battler aspect either but i love gundam games. and thats one of the main reasons why i recently broke down and bought a vita and a import copy of gundam seed battle destiny. and it was worth it. but if nintendo didnt have that stupid region lock i never would have.
