Bandai mechs set to surf US skies

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpotPosted Apr 11, 2006 2:53 pm PT

Publisher set to bring aerial robot combat to North American PS2s this fall with Eureka Seven Vol. 1: The New Wave.

Gundam may be the best-known mech series to come out of Bandai, but it's certainly not the only one. Before the publisher announced its merger with Namco last year, it unveiled another mech series with Eureka Seven Vol. 1: The New Wave for the PlayStation 2. Today, Namco Bandai America announced that the game would be making the trip across the Pacific and landing in North American stores this fall.

Eureka Seven puts gamers in control of both trainee pilot Sumner Sturgeon and an array of customizable, transformable fighting robots called Light Finding Operations (LFOs). With the help of LFOs, Sturgeon will fly (or sky surf) the unfriendly skies, engaging other mechs in battle. The game was developed in conjunction with an anime series and an accompanying manga in Shonen Ace.

No price or rating has been announced yet.

    Microsoft butchered the only mech game that was any good and that is mechwarrior / battletech. Giant flying robots = stupid. RAD was an awesome game and i would love to see a sequel o it. It would be kool if sqaure-enix tried to take front mission and make it more action 1st person based for a side game. Steambot Chronicles looks like it will be sweet..

    ZOE and Armored Core. There's no need for any other giant robot game series. All others are embarassing.

    "ARE ALL DEAD."-Shockwave from cover/back of comic

    How about a Transformers MMO? Disguised cars, around the online world that jump up, transform, and destroy...? Smash and grab missions; Conqest mode-capture base and hold...kinda like Mechassault 2. only you can move around quickly as appropriate vehicle with weapons, then robot when a serious battle erupts. (licensing... generic autos) It would have more appeal than a Matrix MMO... (no Dinobots, except as a cameo). hehhehhehheh. Gundam is alright, but the hastle of the human inside... ditch the carbon meat bags. Call it "Silicon Wars: Autobots vs Decepticons" or "Silicone Muthaboard"

    Robot games can be real good. RAD was cool. Haven't messed with any 3D Bandi mech games (just vs games)

    Hopefully this will satiate my need for a new Robotech game.
