Dynasty Warriors: Gundam - Image 1


So we've got some good news and some not-so-great news for you folks. Let's start with the good stuff, alright?

IGN reports that Namco Bandai and Koei's collaboration on a Dynasty Warriors-like Gundam game, otherwise known as Gundam Musou, is heading to the U.S. near the end of summer. The game, which was previously a PlayStation-only affair, will be getting an Xbox 360 treatment as well, to the delight of Gundam fans everywhere.

What's the not-so-great news? Well, in what could either be called an act of extreme transparency or the greatest marketing ploy ever created, Gundam Musou will be renamed Dynasty Warriors: Gundam for North American audiences.

From a semi-historical account of the turbulent times in China's history to the completely fictional account of a battle between the Earth Federation and the Zeon forces, you can definitely say the Dynasty Warriors franchise has moved a VERY long way, timeline-wise.

probably because gundam games by themselves have done poorly in the states.

 » so
this game is big here in japan
it will probably sell great too stateside, dont get me wrong i like all dyansty warriors games and gundam games but...
i personally think its a very ugly name. dynasty warriors gundam

reason is even though it resembles or completely uses dynasty warriors game engine there are no wu shu wei dynasty in that game therefore using dynasty warriors name is a complete no brainer.

 » Hmm
All the Dynasry Warriors games were called Shin Sangoku "Musou", that's why.

 » Alright
I'll admit this game actually has my attention, even though the Dynasty Warriors games are usually complete garbage, why the hell is that sh*t so popular in Japan
