Whenever a new Macross game is announced, there's generally a good amount of fanfare since the brand is well known and beloved by international fan base. The buzz has been building in Japan over the past couple of weeks and Bandai's latest Macross game is another 3D mission-based shooting game. Players take control of a Valkyrie which can transform into three forms - gerwalk, jet fighter, and robot.The Macross franchises featured in Macross Ace Frontier are as follows:
» Super Dimension Fortress Macross
» SDF Macross: Do You Remember Love
» Macross Plus
» Macross 7
» Macross Frontier
Over 40 Valkyries may be piloted in the game including the YF-19, VF-1S Strike Valkyrie, VF-19, YF-21, and the VF-1J. The Valkyries may be upgraded and customized during the course of the missions. Roughly 30 characters from the Macross universe also appear for dramatic foil. To enhance the atmosphere of the game world, Bandai also throws in speech snippets and a number of classic songs from the various Macross series.
In addition to solo play, up to four gamers may link up wirelessly for a cooperative game where four Valkyries tackle mission objectives. Preorders for Macross Ace are welcome to ship on October 9, 2008.
