Blasphemy, Gundam Battle Assault 2 has all the main G-Gundam cast in a fighting game!
Is that newish Berserk musou game any good?
Rankings for me:
- Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front (PS2) - Rainbox Six style tactical shooter, Gundam edition!
- .hack//(INFECTION/MUTATION/OUTBREAK/QUARANTINE) (PS2) - These aged like trash, gameplay-wise, but they were super cool for their time. Great execution for a multimedia franchise
- Robotech: Battlecry (PS2, XBOX, GC) - They nailed the art style and the game was pretty fun, even if it's got the Harmony Gold stink on it
Shoutout to the mishmash of all the weird Japan-only anime tie-in ROMs I played in the mid-2000s: Magic Knight Rayearth (SFC/SNES), Sailor Moon (Sega Genesis), Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie (SFC/SNES) come to mind, but I'm sure there's others
Also, shoutout to Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, which nails the anime OP aesthetic with its attract mode
