For this game to come to the US, it will be an impossibility.

Why?

Too many Licensing issues. There'll be so many companies to divide money between that it'll get ultimately confusing. Since the mecha series from those games are licensed here by multiple companies and some that haven't even been brough to the US yet make appearances, a port here would be impossible.

There is a little swig of info that they're planning on making a fourth Another Century's Episode game, however. So you should look forward to that.

ok what do u know on ace 4 ?. Another Century's Episode wall be easy to gut all the rights to the anime bandai Licens all gundam Brain Powered and for Martian Successor Nadesico: Aura Battler Dunbine Licens by adv but adv is nowout of business and selling it Licens to all it anime. and for the haven't even been brough to the US like Blue Comet SPT Layzner Metal Armor Dragonar Heavy Metal L-Gaim are all Licen by Sunrise in japan. and Sunrise is a holding company it a is a company that owns other companies' and it owns Namco Bandai. now Sunrise, Inc. owns all the anime in the game ace1 2 &3 so it not impossible

They may be licensed by sunrise in Japan, but Namco Bandai of America hasn't licensed them. It's impossible unless we get licensing rights. And even so, there'd have to be the problem with whichd dubbing group gets what. It's still impossible unless we get licensing rights.

And I couldn't understand a DAMN thing you just said.

ok but why can bandai make a good anime game ? and the ony thay made a good gundam for the psp it call gundam vs gundam. the game play is like gundam vs zeta gundam here a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Suit_Gundam:_Gundam_vs._Gundam
Namco Bandai Games have all the Licens to all the gundam anime so what stoping the game ?

Because Namco Bandai has observed the Gundam game market in America and it hasn't done particularly well here as it has done in Japan? :/

Not to mention that Another Century's Episode series is not a Gundam game, but a giant crossover game. Basically Super Robot Wars without the chess-like gameplay. The only shows in that series that have been licensed here would be Gundam, Eureka Seven, and I think Macross. Otherwise, this game would still go through several licensing issues if the decision were made to bring it overseas.

Concerning Gundam games, they usually release broken or moderately decent Gundam games here these days. With the only exceptions being Encounters in Space, Zeonic Front and Battle Assault 2 being the excellent ones they brought over, Gundam games have not done well here compared to games like Armored Core or Transformers.

Hopefully now that Sunrise/Bandai is trying to extend Gundam overseas again, we'll get some GOOD games.

And I already know about Gundam vs Gundam. Please don't go linking me like I don't know my Gundam games.

sorry i not a mind reader ! wall look at Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. Capcom did not originally intend to release Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes outside of Japan but the animes/games fans whant a Localization and capcom work hard for all licensed to the animes and now the game is going to be Release in the us and uk **** Adam Sessler from X-Play stated "clearing the American rights to show them all in one game would be a logistical nightmare. so Another Century's Episode would be a logistical nightmare but not impossible and for u to say it never come to the us and uk it like u saying Blame this on the misfortune of your birth. lol

I'm pretty sure that only happened because Capcom recognizes that it has a huge fanbase in North America that are actually active and showing their appreciation for their games.

Wheras Gundam and most other unrecognized mecha series have a relatively in the dark fanbase here. The chances are terribly slim unless Sunrise/Namco Bandai does something extra extra special concerning their relatively more popular mecha series, localizing it overseas with every installment they release. They need to make Gundam games and other mecha games that had the 'wow holy crap' effect that Armored Core gave us. That or simply share Gundam game making rights with From Software since they apparently know what they're doing in the mecha department.

While the chance is ultimately a snowball's chance in ****, the announced Another Century's Episode 4 is likely the only chance they have to release the series overseas, if From Software and Banpresto believe it will sell. That's also pending if this coming 4th game will be the actual last one. The chance may have icnreased ever so slightly with Armored Core: 4 Answer's success here.

i know it a snowball's chance in **** for a Another Century's Episode to be release overseas. but i be heppy if bandai and Koei, Omega Force give all the musical tracks from the various Gundam series themes back in Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 for the love of god gundam there a Mission call it not anime as zz gundam theme. and the one thing i hate is wane a want-be gundam fan say buy Gundam Musou 2. some one at Koei game say there working on it she say over 3000 call come in to pit back in the music back in the game **** i pay $10 for it. it good to know real gundam fan are Stand up to the Victory. i know a bad gundam joke !

I heard that game before. It kind remind me of Zone of the Enders, Virtual On, Armored Core, and well as Ace Combat. But I love Super Robot Wars. Someday, Super Robot Wars: Original Generations and Super Robot Wars: Original Generation Gaiden will be in North America and well as Europe.
