Over at the official Gundam vs. Gundam website, Banpresto has updated their gallery to include a selection of 16 new shots as well as the currently "announced" Gundam roster for the game. Graphically speaking, for a System 256 game that is built on a several year old engine, Gundam vs. Gundam should please most fans of the ongoing fighting/action series. It may not win any awards visually, but it at least packs enough of a punch to attract some welcome attention and play.
The location tests for the game have been going relatively well from what I've been hearing. I've been told that in a lot of ways the game suffers from being more of the same, with only a touch of finesse to give it a "fresher" feel. Yes, it introduces new moves, new Gundams, new play modes, and new skills, but even with that, it will be extremely familiar to those who have spent some time with the previous games in the arcade Gundam series.
Whether or not that's a good thing seems to be entirely dependent on your attitude towards the earlier games. If you like them, Gundam vs. Gundam will provide an opportunity to sink hours more into the franchise. If you passed them over, Gundam vs. Gundam will likely not provide enough of a change for you to buy into the new release.
