Good news Gundam fans and Nintendo DS owners! A new Gundam game title is scheduled to be released March 2008. The game will be based on the most recent Gundam series, Gundam 00. Now don’t ask me if this game will be in English. Like most of the previously released Gundam games, only a few was translated.

The language doesn’t seem to be a challenge since it’s not like those turn-based SD Gundam and Super Robot Wars games. With 3D graphics, you can fly and shoot your way to victory.

Not only will you enjoy the gameplay, it also includes a training guide that will help you make Gundam plastic models called GUNPLA Navi! I think this is where you might need basic Japanese reading skills. But if you’re really a Gundam fan or is very much willing to learn, that will not be a problem.

Promotional tactic or not, it’s still a great way to encourage newbies to the wonderful world of Gundam plastic model kits. It also shows that the Nintendo DS is not purely a gaming hand-held. It can be used as a learning tool as well. Hehe.

Besides the special mode in the game, a special Gundam model, “Gundam Exia Rollout Colour Ver.”, will be included in the pre-order versions! The game just keeps getting better and better.
