  • I wish arcades still existed in the US. :(

  • I have 2 pilot cards, one has been replaced by the update console due to me playing so many times.

    I spent my paychecks playing this epic game. If they bring this to america. be prepared, no one would leave, nor want to leave the arcade. and yes, thinking about it still brings a rager, its pure bliss. pure...epic...bliss

  • Daaaamn, I didn't actually think this thing was real, man I so wanna play it! But not with hardcore Japanese people XD

  • Wow I dreuled during the video!!!

  • Nice post. I responded with a 10 minute video of me playing, but I didn't think to mention the pilot centers. Thanks for clearing that up for those who haven't had the privilege of playing :)

  • MUST PUT GUNPLA SCANNER!!!

  • The first time I played this I had the most extreme orgasm that involved me wetting my pants and crying and shitting then licking the pod. Its just that epic. Not only does this imitate the real cockpit, it even rumbles according to your MS's footsteps...pure Ecstasy...

  • The first time I played this I had the most extreme orgasm that involved me wetting my pants and crying and shitting then licking the pod. Its just that epic.

  • god when i found this game in japan. My first words was "what the fuuuuuuuuuuck" and my dad got pissed at me and then i started playin it for 5 games and i came out and threw up. Best arcade game ever

  • This game is the closest I'll ever get to piloting a Gundam :(

  • Wow thanks Joshua , i feel like I played the game thru you , if you have the chance to upgrade this someday in HD , it be nice to see .

  • I wonder if u could find the place were they manufacture those pods,if you were rich enough buy one have the whole thing fomat in English and have it shipped to the us right at your front door, I feel like playing but don't want to go to japan every day to play

  • @scottishRipper420 You actually kinda can. Its only powered by nVidia graphics and a pc O.S.

  • Leave it to the japanese to create something badass like the GUNDAM FRANCHISE!!!...As americans, we can critique and critize the japanese culture all we want...We have no EQUAL to GUNDAM(As for "BATTLETECH", I give them an "E" for effort...But still can't even come close to GUNDAM...!!!) However, We do have the PENCIL AND PAPER RPG, " MEKTON II & MEKTON ZETA , to even the odds slightly...(And we won't even get started on "EXTEEL" , Anyone REMEMBER that one?!?)...Another badass ASIAN/ANIME...!!!

  • the reason y they dont put this in the US is maybe cuz there arent enough gundam fans to play this game in the US...maybe...

  • Damn, they should make a console thay's a pod, that'll be epic!

  • Imagine the Battle of Solomon or...Gate of Zedan  Either way wish I could fly to Japan every weekend just to play this xD Though I'd play with a set team of players so I know we can coordinated with ease.

  • great game, I play it everytime im in japan

  • I'm kinda lost as to how it gave you motion sickness. It's not as if it's moving around....so I'm kinda confused.

  • @5h4ggyDr34d Some people get motion sickness from simply looking at something moving. I get motion sickness from movies sometimes, and I know a lot of people who get sick from the bobbing in first person games.

  • @rpglover101 OOO ok...then I won't get motion sickness from playing.

  • why don't we ever get the good shit over here? this thing would be awesome to play

  • dude if they do this for gundam wing, 00, seed/destiny....EPIC!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • bro when i played this, this summer i totally agree with u about the expensive but so worth it. I also got motion sickness cuz i played like 5 times in a row

  • @SumpAuthority How do you get motion sickness?

  • Check out Gunpla Builders..... it's based on this arcade game where you build a Gundam kit and place it in the scanner within the pod and you'll be flying that Gundam. You can even modify your gundam to give it extra armour or weapons...... it's available on Youtube. Btw, I've seen this arcade pod in Singapore too!

  • @marikuraba WHERE DID U SEE IT OMG

  • @MJerome195 saw it at AMK Hub..... not sure if it's still there

  • @marikuraba OMG THANKS I GO FIND TOMORROW

  • @marikuraba I wish they had the little haros to put the gundam in... that would be awesome. This Japanese Version... I don't think its all to worth it... its the most basic way to be a gundam pilot.

  • @marikuraba When you said "check out Gunpla Builders" I actually thought it was a GAME just like this but it scans your gundam model :(((

    I got my hopes up! O well the anime is awesome :D

  • I bet when giant mech become real they'll use a sim like this

  • Now THIS...is immersion.

  • that would be so awesome cause its like a Pilot training simulator . sweet ...

  • and dude thanks for using the zeon type im anti federate im a zeon lover

  • i want this game the world to share...and battle 5v5 team like each repective nations

  • @12ock that would be amazing

  • did u know if ur really good the jap military will kidnap you away and train u to be gundam pilot so they can conquer the world in the future lol lol

  • I'd work this guy in my Ez8 or my Gouf Custom.

  • These games are the coolest fuckin' thing ever, just got back from japan, and I tried one of these things... HOLY FUCK WE NEED THESE IN AMERICA!!!!!!!!!

  • @patorikku65 LOL I KNOW RITE WE DO MY FRIEND JUST CAME BK FROM THERE BECUZ OF THE ARMY...

  • Shouldn't the gun be below the view screen b/c the main camera is in the head rather than outside the cockpit hatch?

    They need to acquire, reconstruction, and reprogram an interactive flight simulator, the ones that rotate 360 degrees on x, y, and z planes, with an adapted version of this game.

    I doubt anybody would have the endurance to move like the Freedom or predecessor uber protagonist piloted gundams, let alone control funnels, bits, DRAGOON, fangs, etc. but it's a cool idea.

  • they need trans-am system on this xD

  • no wounder ucgo went out of buisness......

  • This needs come to America and add gundams and mobile suits from other seasons.

  • @BloodAngel2346 There is something similar to this at Arcade UFO in Austin, TX. I haven't gone there yet but I am only a few hours drive away and my friends cousins live there so hopefully I will get to check it out soon.

  • @BloodAngel2346 Oh yea forgot to say but they have pretty much every Gundam in existence the machine. Everything from Death Scythe to Burning Gundam.

  • @BloodAngel2346

    It's not economically viable to bring something to a country with not enough fans concentrated in a single area. There are otaku's spread out here and there, but it doesn't serve well enough to place these machines in locals across all 50 states.

    I wish that they would, but it's probably not going to happen.

    Unfortunately, UC gundam is probably the most popular, so I doubt any other timelines are going to be present in an interactive gundam game.

  • this is actaully pretty hard to control.. and warining DONT PLAY RIGHT AFTER LUNCH

  • They should make the damage better when you get hit.

  • I got motion sickness from watching this. Not from the game itself, but because you were moving the camera so dam much. Stop moving the camera! :D

  • Now all they have to do is add pin point damage to take out and/or cripple parts on the mobile suits as well as make a game pod that shakes, rotates and spins as if you're really in the suit. Now that would be amazing.

  • OH MY GOD. I WANT TO PLAY THIS.

  • Man. they need this in evangelion style....

  • It looks good, but it also looks rough. Still if i live in japan, I would be obsessed with this.

  • Some day,these things wont just be simulators.

  • haha awesome すごい~ we never get a chance to play .. some YEAR maybe we will play ... really nice vids you have

  • can u pilot any gundam from every series? cuz if i play this im goin for the gp03S

  • Yes please

  • RX-78-1

    RX-78-2

    RX-78-3 "G3"

    RX-79(G)

    Ez-8

    FA-78-1

    FA-78-2

    RX78GPO2A

    Those are the gundams you can play on the PSP version, I guess the big brother pod version has about the same mobile suits

  • dang this game is expensive

  • 500 = $4.00 wtf is he smoking... back then it was still like $4.80 and now its like $5.30

  • Comment removed

  • we need them in the u.s.!!!

  • im playing in singapore.. but i still wanna know one thing.. how do u hit ppl wit sword more den once.. is there a control? or juz luck,, lol

  • You have to time your slashes when theres a flash on screen

  • singapore ang mo kio also got

  • it is available at singapore at bugis outlet but i hav a couple of questions hope can reply me the answers. 1. we create a card at the counter, after that we play and we finish a game or 2 then we go update at the counter? 2. So is one game for 500 yen i mean even if u win or lose still the same? 3. can tell me the controls ya thanks.

  • dude u have a coin purse LMAO no wonder u suck

  • lol the screen is flashing as hell.

  • That looks like something I wanta play... well it kinda looks like it needs a graphic upgrade though. I think about $5 is good for the time that they give you.

  • Right thumb button to lock on for ranged weapon, you should use it.

  • i want to freacking play but i dont imagine the game system and everything being transferred here but if they do that would rock

  • if only we had these in america the profit would be large i bet

  • large is an understatement for how much money it would make here.

  • very little, thats what, it was make, huge in asia, but us and canada and uk europe are way to preocupied with there game consols, mostly the fat americans at the 360;

  • You have a point there. I agree with you about the 360 and i'm American. it's a very overrated console.

  • I'm a fat American with an Xbox 360. I do agree with your comment though. Xbox 360 is the devil! But so fun...

  • This video would have been better, if the camera wasn't moved around so much.

    But still this game system is the future for a arcades to come.

  • if the pods are connected by internet, would it really be such an issue to just translate stuff and release it in maybe some major cities internationally?

  • They released some in some Hong Kong arcades, but they can't play with the japanese arcades. Version differences, apparently.

  • The ultimate game for any Gundam nut.

  • Dude the ultimate arcade game period. I'm not even a Gundam fan and I still want to travel to Japan just so I can play this.

  • This game is decided to transferr on psp and released on March 26th!

  • Are u serious!???

  • yes.

  • I dont think it will have the same appeal without the controls and visual... surrounding-ness of the pods. But I bet it's cheaper...

  • It plays smootly. I just got it yesterday.

  • Are you sure you're not talking about Gundam vs gundam?

  • Looks fun!!

  • The best arcade game I've ever seen is only in Japan, darn

  • Well they're the ones that can spend a couple hundred thousand on fancy arcade machines and still be sure they'll make good returns on em.

    Now, looking at arcades in other countries...

  • don't say it, but Japan even had an Virtual-On/Armored Core PC Arcade game that's onlinne

  • I want to play that!

  • omg send it to canada i want to play i would not care if its 5 bucks me and my friends are super fans

  • anybody knows how much does one of these machines cost? If there's any website where I can find more information about this?

  • price: 13800000 yen(p.o.d.×4 + terminal)

  • Maybe because of people like you.

  • Awesome video, thanks for making it :]

    Also I liked "...the old 'I can't read Japanese' card."

  • Zeon FTW

  • for the zeons

  • If the arcades around here (Dallas, TX) had games like that I would go more often. As things are now I can get the same experience at home.

  • wow i want it so much

  • man right now im tring to get the blue zaku i cant wait to get it XD

  • best game ever i think, don't know why

  • Very cool, looks like it would take some getting used to. I would love to try it some day! I can't be the only one who wishes they could pilot a giant robot...

  • 500 yen? holy shit.. $5 to play it.. anyway if it really comes to US ill buy the whole machine..

  • have you guys seen how the cockpit of a gundam is? what if we could make that smaller like the keyboard and controls so it's ready for the home gaming systems

  • I think that takes the fun away.

  • y is the gun in the screen on the way up in the right upper corner??? i mean the pilot does sit in the chest area, but the camera of bascially every suit is on the face

  • More than likely hes using like a Guncannon or something like that, with the cannons on top of your head.

  • I have to say Japan/Bandai should really port this over to americas arcades, it really boost the arcade market over here in america, and it just be freakign awsome!

    If I had the money I'd buy one of those PODS,and set it up for english(or get a custom english one) and just play the hell out of it.

  • they should make one for zoids if they dont already have one.

  • this game is bad ass

  • Played it yesterday...amazing

  • i so wish i lived in tokyo right now

  • hmmm if the japeness knew this they probly calling him noob or something...hmmm...

  • yea they are in tokyo, i wanted they ship lots them over T_T, pluse we can battle the Tokyo poeple and they vs american people

  • Just incase it hasn't been pointed out - You use both sticks for the movement. Pushing both forwards moves forward, moving only the left forward would turn you clockwise at half speed, while pulling the right back at the same time will turn at 100% speed.

    Left stick's top button switches targets left, right stick's right. Left front button for melee, right for main weapon and both together for sub-weapon.

    Fun, but expensive, yeah.

  • can you straffe to the left and to the right? and how do you fly with the MS?

  • i want this ship over at america =E i wanted try this game out for real!! (they probly expenived buy this game pods) everyone is going be big fan of this game seouly

  • OMG I want to play it too!!!

  • how much is 500 yen in america?

  • about 4 dollars, he says so in the first 40 seconds

  • So based on how much yen you put in, you can choose a better suit? Is the Gundam an option?

  • no then yes, u have to play and unlock better suits

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!you pay 300 yen then youu get an average machine. then if you clear the missions properly you can upgrade your machine! No-one would give a loser a strong machine!

  • What arcades are the pods in Tokyo? Is there one in Club Sega in Akihabara?

  • I played it when I was in Japan, one of the most awesome experiences of my life. Lucky Japanese bastards XD

  • ooo i saw these mech pods for a different game in canada like years ago..called mechwarrior. It was awsome! Im sure these things are too!

  • Whoa dude what series i see UC but no new ones like SEED?

  • JEsus CHRIST games like this actually exist?! I fuckin LOVE gundam, I would love to play and become good at this game. Btw towards the end you have to say you got owned when you tried to go to their side, dodged missiles and got ontop of a building, then the guy boosted up and slashed you.

  • Mechwarrior has these same pods... they have been out for at least a decade. Check out Dave and Busters, they all have a set of 4 pods

  • Oh really. I havent been to D and B in so long, years. Perhaps thats why I didnt know.

  • They should make a zoids version of this.

  • The game named Zoids Infinity is released from TAITO. (It is a game like VIRTUAL-ON. )

  • man i wanted to play it when i was in japan but i dont know how XD

  • I love this game. Check out my video I made. Approve my response too!

  • Kidou Senshi Gundam SEED Rengou vs ZAFT II was by Capcom IIRC.

  • Zeon scum!! haha

    I JUST got done playing this tonight actually! It's wicked fun with your peeps, just like anything else I'd say.

  • This game is perfect for the upcoming Headplay goggle

  • "I am Gundam"

  • Wow, im impressed.

  • well i know what i'm buying when i win the lottery

  • omg omg i always wanted to play a gundam game like that. melee combat should be interesting

  • Played this last time I was in Japan. Pretty kick ass but gave me motion sickness. Although I generally have no problems with FPS's.

  • can i buy it home ??? issit only in japan?!?!

  • sweet! I had a dejavu whatching this. I knew that there was gona be some online multiplayer gaming for gundam fans! Here it is and it makes us feel like a pilot too! Thanks for the upload.

  • It's not online, it's arcade.

  • Its online and arcade

  • OMG THAT IS SO FUCKING AWESOME

  • how do i play this??!?! i need 2 play this can u buy it?! lol

  • NO WOMEN ALLOWED KTHX.

  • thats so fuking cool

  • *breaks down weeping* Omg I want it so much, i want the entire set for my personal use *cry* it was so beautiful

  • hell yeah, i just got back from japan and played that, it was soooooooooo freakin awesome!

  • I wish they had this shit in the US!!!

  • Nope, the Zeong is classed as a mobile suit. It's model number is MSN-02, Mobile Suit for Newtype. And the Rick Dias is a mobile suit with the cockpit in the head. I think.

  • Psycho Gundam also has a cockpit in the head.

  • Civilian rank pilots playing on New Yark map? Whaaaat? XD

  • For all of you wanting someting similar in the US and mentioning Virtual World pods, check the website and see if there are sites in your area. (can't post links, search for Virtual World or Virtual World Entertainment) Those Battletech pods are still out there. And while I admit that the Gundam ones here are beyond cool and are a great bit updated, there's still a ton of fun to be had playing Battletech in the pods around the US.

  • Good god, I want future PCs to be like this where you walk into a chamber and then the whole interface is entirely around you with all sorts of cool 'future' looking effects and stuff.

  • Is this anywhere in the USA? I played it in Japan last week and am now addicted. I played Battletech at Virtual world, and I think this game is so much better. It would sell here in the US, especially if they could change the language to english, but still conect with players in Japan. Looking at the video.. Josh ssucked at this game, but it could be motion sickness or having someone video tape you. There is a lot more to it that this Video doesn't show.

  • wow....you guys get to play it but for us s'pore ppl wait long long

  • that loox fun hmmm they shoul;d make it like the 8th ms team that would b fuckn awesome

  • Gundam EZ8, Gundam Ground type, and Gouf Custom are in the game. Gouf Custom>>>>>>>>>>>>Ez8 though.

    I use Gouf, Zaku II, Desert Zaku, Zaku I Sniper and Dom mostly.

  • can anyone please explain here, or point to a faq that explains how to play well? as in, how exactly do you do the triple combo melee attack and the quick draw?

    also, is there a page that lays out how much points it costs to upgrade things?

    thanks for you help =)

  • I played this game yesterday and I sucked at it. They set me up against a whole bunch of pro players and I didnt stand a chance

  • I finally plucked up the courage to play this yesterday... Yes, the first minute or so was a bit disorientating and confusing, but I think the controls are really intuitive and you don't really get motion sick.

  • Man, how cool are they! It feels very disorientating, i felt a bit light headed just watching the video. This has just entered my "things to do before i die" list!!!
