Alpha Gaiden Translated

Basically, the beta translation patch for Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden (hereby shortened to @G) has been released, with the story fully translated among other things. It’s been a long wait for fans, which even preceded my induction to the franchise two years ago.

Gundam vs Gundam PSP

And so Gundam vs Gundam arrives for the PSP, sealing the deal that it is THE portable console for mecha fans. Featuring all Gundam series from MSG to Gundam 00, this is one game that will keep you engrossed alone and with the presence of your mecha-loving friends.

Exia is in, just not in this pic.

Wait, I’m not supposed to play this manually?

Time to post something mecha-related, even if it’s a game.

Right now I’m playing Armored Core: Formula Front on my PSP. If you could define playing as “designing mechs and their AI in order to fight other AI mechs”, that is. Being a newcomer to the Armored Core franchise (yeah, I haven’t played anything except that Nine Breaker game, then got whacked out too much by the learning curve), I’m not competent enough to achieve those crazy stunts my friend can pull off. As a longtime AC player, he claims that all he needs is a nice light AC setup, a cheap machine gun with lotsa ammo, and magazines.

This is... err... Nine Ball? Or was it Breaker?
