Namco Bandai has announced that it will change its English name from Namco Bandai to Bandai Namco, the same as it is in Japan. The company says the name change is a way to unify the brand internationally. Bandai Namco says that the move will increase the “value” and “appeal” of the name and brand. This sudden change in name will be difficult to remember here in the west! Who cancall this company by a such different name!?

So they want to elevate the status of the Bandai part overseas (which isn't what they said, but it's obviously what they really mean), yet they still refuse to localize any of their Gundam games even though it's their biggest total cash-cow of a franchise?

I have the japanese gundam games and you are not missing anything.. But the problem probably lies with Sunrise and licensing issues around the world of the anime and related merchandise..

I have Extreme VS and Gundam Breaker, and no, they're pretty fucking fantastic. It's sad to me it took an anime license to make a game this good in the 7th generation.
