Gundam AGE Game Announced!

“>

Well I’m not surprised… Given that the story is developed by a game maker, Level 5. The RPG game will be developed by Level 5 and then released by Bandai Namco.

This news is announced yesterday. It was accompanied by the first Gundam AGE Trailer, and a showcase of what toys Bandai will be making from this series.

I am kinda… … … Speechless… … You?

You might want to go take a look at Gundam AGE’s newly opened site.

Oh Bandai is so good at creating new business opportunities~

Gundam H, Reveled!

“>

Oops, my bad. It’s Gundam AGE.

And it’s for Kids… Thanks Bandai for the rather misleading name… …

With the story produce by Level 5′s Honcho, Akira Hino, famous for Izuma 11.

The story is going to be about a family and how they will fight to repel an alien type named UE, in the story, there are quite a few references from the original Gundam, like the 100 year war.

Why AGE? Cause the Gundam, this time comes with a AGE System, capable of adapting itself, auto pilot? or 8?

Either way, let see how it will turn out, the anime is expected to be out in Fall 2011.
