Awesome, this is exactly what modern arcade games should be, a gaming experience you cannot get at home (unless money is no object).

Was aware of Gundam Senjou no Kizuna and have wanted to play it for some time, being a bit of a Gundam fan. Sadly I will only ever get to play it if I visit Japan.

The trailer makes it look ace but it'd be pretty **** at home I reckon. The whole experience would be diluted beyond recognition.

Having played Mach Storm which is the same cab I would say its a arcade only title:

Great fun really makes you feel sick & a sense of flight.

Maybe this will make it to EAG in Jan like with Mach Storm last Jan so worth a visit just for it.

possible DLC/Updates with the new movies and series coming out? Starwars really is a no brainer when it comes to arcade games. I think even the pod racer made money.

Ive played the Gundam pod, made me want to hurl really quickly, not to say itll happen to everyone. I got severe motion sickness from the Oculus Rift headset too, apparently its 1 in 5 people...

I saw those huge Gundam things when i was in Japan, they looked awesome! . Who is developing this? Please don't say it's Raw-Thrills. *Fingers crossed its Sega.

I could see this getting a nice home release using alongside a custom stick and Oculus Rift...

Anyone found any info as to price yet?

EDIT: Mach Storm - about £20k

The Gundam pod is already sited in Southend. Played it over the Summer and it certainly made me feel a bit "weird" when I first started playing. I've used the OR and luckily didn't suffer any issues.

This would be awesome using OR as a home port though.

There are a couple of Mach Storms in Southend, I don't think Gundam has made it over to these shores.
