News: Gundam Extreme Versus Sells Half A Million

Since its release in Japan on December 1st, Gundam Extreme Versus has sold over half a million units. What’s interesting about this is that Japan basically shuts down for a week over the New Year, so these sales figures occurred in spite of that. As we saw in the arcades, it has garnered a very large and loyal following. If anything the two versions, console and arcade, have mutually aided one another it seems. The console version’s DLC will also factor into the success of Full Boost, as many of the new units will be appearing in that too. So there’s already some cross promotion going on. Talking of DLC, we’ve been playing around with PMX-003 The O and it’s nice to see the PMX-001 Palace Athene (pictured above) again. In any case, we’re glad to see the game doing well.
Hope they make a killing with this, it’s a great game. DLC for this game is perfect. Kinda like Guitar Hero or Rockband, they can just keep going back to the well.
Pretty much I’ll buy any U.C. units the come out with, we’ll see how the Zeong is.
I would assume all the DLC will be 500 yen a pop, save the soon to be free Hi Nu (which is basically the only 3k unit I would consider online). I’m hoping for Strike Noir, since they are already giving us Zeong, but then again, I still hope against all odds for something like the Xi Gundam or Sentinal, so yeah…
Needs moar English.
