First Gundam New Gihren's Ambition Details(Updated)

Famitsu has a first look at the latest (and probably not the last!) PSP Gundam game, Mobile Suit Gundam: New Gihren's Ambition. Here are a few details that have surfaced from the magazine.

Gihren's Ambition is a turn-based strategy series that saw its first entry on the Sega Saturn in April 1998 through then Bandai. In the original title, players took control of either the Federation or Principality of Zeon forces through the One Year War. The series saw multiple sequels, most recently The Menace of Axis V in 2009 on PS2 and PSP.

Kamen Rider Fourze

"Gentaro Kisaragi (Fourze) is an Amanokawa Academy second year, section B high school student and basing it on his hairdo, he is a delinquent or better known in Japan as a Yankee. He will fight monsters who were created by a mysterious space energy, thus there are instances that he will fight them in space.

Kamen Rider Fourze, uses “Switches” to gain additional weapons. So far the known weapon is the Rocket, which uses the “Rocket Switch” (the first one from the left). Fourze has a total of 4 weapon slots, which basically are the buttons similar to a PlayStation console, namely: Circle, Square, Cross, and Triangle. Rocket unit uses the Circle slot. Kamen Rider Fourze also have a bike called "Machine Masshigura" and it can travel to space. Masshigura means at full speed.

As usual, the belt is called the Fourze Driver. The third switch from the left should be the main “Henshin Switch”, it is originally black, but the Fourze suit appears on it after transformation. We assumes that the “Switch On, 3, 2, 1, Henshin” text on the scans will be the transformation sound."

New Gundam series annonced: Gundam Age

The July issue of Shogakukan's Corocoro Comic magazine is announcing next Wednesday that the game developer Level 5 (Inazuma Eleven, Danbōru Senki) is working on all aspects of the new Gundam AGE anime for release this fall. In particular, Level 5 President Akihiro Hino is in charge of the story. There will also be a Gundam AGE manga running in the magazine.
The new series will have three generations of "father, child, and descendant" as the lead characters. The main characters pilot the Gundam unit to fight against an unknown attacking enemy (UE) and save Earth in a "One Hundred Year War" — an apparent homage to the One Year War of the first Gundam series.

The first main character is Furitto Asuno, who developed the Gundam AGE-1 mobile suit (humanoid mobile weapon) equipped with the AGE System (a self-adapting computer). The second main character is Asemu Asuno, Furitto's child. The third main character is Kio Asuno, Furitto's descendant who inherits the Gundam. The Gundam AGE-1 can be augmented as the Gundam AGE-1 Titus for more power, or as the Gundam AGE-1 Sparrow for more speed.
Other characters include Emily, Furitto's friend since he was 7. Guruudekku is a Commander in the Earth Federation Forces and the captain of the battleship Diva. Mireesu is a Lieutenant (junior grade) in the Federation Forces aboard the Diva.
Tied into the anime will be "four ultimate projects" in the works: manga, hobby (model kits and figures), games, and cards.

Armored Core V live stream and CG movie trailer

Another live stream has been released for Armored Core V. This one was more restrained in terms of the presenters, and unfortunately it featured less actual game play footage this time around, instead covering other elements such as the story and mission breakdown. However, a nice preview of the game’s opening CG movie was shown. Revealing the bulkiness of tanks and that our mechanical future has gone to hell in a hand basket, a very brown hand basket.
