Hamma Hamma (Japanese version only, playable in Western versions though Gameshark).Zaku II Commander Type (requires unlock code).Introduced in The Battle Master 2/ Battle Assault:.Psycho Gundam Mk-III (First appearance, unplayable).
The game is a one-on-one fighter that uses Street Fighter-esque command prompts to activate special and ultimate attacks, with each mobile suit having three layers of health and a thruster system for extra mobility. Once Mobile Fighter G Gundam debuted in America, Bandai followed up with Battle Assault 2, releasing exclusively in US and European territories in 2002, creating a short-lived, yet well respected subseries of Gundam fighting games lasting all the way to the mid- PlayStation 2 era. Not wanting to pass up on the growing western popularity, Bandai and Natsume took The Battle Master 2 and modified it to include characters from Gundam Wing and the various anime seasons before it, releasing it to the American market as Gundam: Battle Assault in 2000. In spite of their success, the games never made it out of Japan, and was doomed to fall into a lifetime of obscurity.Īnd then Toonami started airing Mobile Suit Gundam Wing in America. A game that used the various Mobile Suits from up to Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack while introducing the exclusive Psycho Gundam Mk-III and an entirely original cast not connected to the anime in any form. As far back as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System era, Bandai played with the idea of a tournament fighter that took advantage of the many mechas of Gundam, and in 1997, with the availability of the PlayStation, Bandai and Natsume worked together to make Gundam: The Battle Master, with The Battle Master 2 following the year after.
