«©NCSX» The arcade version of Mobile Suit Gundam: Senjou no Kizuna (Bonds of the Battlefield) is an immersive gaming experience where players enter a capsule called a P.O.D. (Panoramic Optical Display). Once seated inside the P.O.D., the senses are absolutely overwhelmed with bright lights and blaring sound. The game uses an overhead projector to beam a 180° panoramic image of the battlefield action onto the screen which is... overwhelming especially when your mech is in motion. Two control levers (sorta like twinsticks) are mounted on the front panel for movement and weaponry while two foot pedals may be thumped to ignite the Gundam's boosters. It's the closest thing to actually piloting a Gundam mech that we've seen thus far and the game is coming to the PSP.
While the game won't be as impressive on the flat and smallish screen of the Playstation Portable, the missions are intact along with 8-player versus action where a 4-player team battles another 4-player team. Preorders are welcome to ship on March 26, 2009 at JPY5800 or US$63.90 from NCS. Early reservations will include a bonus Gundam Strategy Guide that is being given away by Bandai in 50% ratio.
