Played this in the arcades quite a lot. Even went to a location test for it. The entire gundam vs series has been utterly brilliant. Almost like an evolution of the fighting genre.

Zaft, Zaft 2, Gundam Vs Gundam, GvG Next, GvG extreme and the new one coming out is GvG extreme plus.

If I remember correctly GvG Extreme is the most popular arcade game of all time in Japan.

THERE IS MORE COMING *SQUEELS~* (Guessing confirmed for arcades only at the moment)

But can't believe this game hasn't been put under the scope by anyone here, a gem in the gaming not experienced by the masses.

Yea just checked and it's called Full boost. Not sure why I thought plus lol. They have already done some location tests for it. 

I would really strongly advise checking out GvG or GvG Next. Think you can pick them both up on Psp. Not as good as playing it at the aracade but still really fun games. 

Not sure why but the series is basically Japan only. I suspect that maybe the different gundam series have different licenses overseas so it's difficult. But yea like I said I'm pretty sure Gundam vs Gundam Extreme was the most popular arcade game of all time. Still have my card from it lying around somewhere. I just remember there being lines to play it for months after release. The gaming scene for it is horrifically competitive. Getting up near 2d fighting game levels.

Edit: not sure if it will be of much interest to you but here's the official site: http://gundam-vs.jp/extreme/acfb/ It's all in Japanese. If you click the game button just to the right of 'How' to at the top it has a load of info though. Units in the game, stages etc
