Gundam 00 looks better than you expected

With the number of Gundam games already released for the DS -- two SRPGs and two Mahjong titles, none of them ever localized for the US -- it's easy to ignore Bandai Namco whenever the publisher pushes a new mobile suit game out there. "Yahh! I'm tired of this Gundam mush and molasses. Get this out of my life! I don't need it!"
But it's not so easy to turn your eyes away from this Gundam 00 trailer, is it? This is the business, right here. The fast-paced combat looks right out of Zone of Enders, exactly how a Gundam 3D action game should play. You'll also see clips of Gundam 00's model-building tutorials and text-adventure portions, so make sure to watch the entire two-minute video if that's the sort of stuff that impresses you. Whatever your Gundam interest, it's in this trailer.

If you pre-order, you get a First Grade Exia Special Edition Model Kit. I've got mine pre-ordered already. This video just makes the wait harder to bear. It looks to be as fast as the Gundam Seed game on PSP, and that's a good thing.

I'd be even more interested if they worked more like Star Fox and Sin & Punishment.

Wow. This looks great. Can't wait to play it.

Reminds me of the videos for PSX's Macross VFX series. I think that was by bandai too.

Wow, maybe it's just the way they made the video, but those graphics like amazing for DS, at least dreamcast quality. Hopefully it'll show up stateside when the show hits the shores.

Holy crapper, this video reminded me of old-school Virtual-On... man I miss that game. They should bring it to the DS.

I know it looks better than expected, but boy, you guy are exaggerating it a bit too much. The graphics are no where near dreamcast or ps2 quality. The game reminds me of a lot of Virtual-on, so its more like Sega Saturn quality =).
