Gundam Arcade Life-Size Game-Pod [step inside view]

[unicron245]

I'd probably be the run'n'gunner :p

[shinjiprofile]

japanesse goverment is secretly training kids as pilots for their new mech weapons...its a simulator dude for the real thing WEW!!



[DarkMaker75]

This is the best thing to be invented EVER. If you disagree, you're wrong. Period.

[XMMxmmXM]

@DarkMaker75 I disagree. Those Augmented Reality glasses + an exo-skeleton = AWESOME.

Alas, nobody who owns AR glasses has ever combined them with an exo-skeleton. So I guess this is the best! For now...

[MetalTiger88]

bring those eggs to germany =D looks like the perfect steel battalion cab, well only in the gundam universe^^

[ziggy2007dn]

this is SO COOL

[XerosXIII]

Mecha training for the future! XD

[mewletter]

Oh why the operators removed them in Singapore? Oh why... *SOB*

[esierra92]

love his shoes :D

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

Dam we need some new things to bring back the arcades , do you know how rad it is getting stoned and tripping out on the visuals ? i think not lol

[eetherealflux]

dude this is the most fucking awesome thing I have ever saw this year

[GabeHellFire]

I played this in Tokyo. The best Arcade game ever!

[RDV333]

This cannot become more awesome. Seriously, there's a limit of awesomeness that this machine cannot surpass or your head will fucking explode!

[retrofretz]

Thumbs up if you're from Cracked.

[TheLakabanzaichrg]

fuck, don't know anything about gundam stuff but this gotta be the shit! wanna go to Japan

[Theriot6592]

Dear Santa....

[TheLakabanzaichrg]

@Berengier817 your spamming makes me flag it :)

[DumbOwlProductions]

nawh, japan get all the cool shit. .-.

[henryyau188]

[HANREVENGE]

木村拓哉 『機動戦士 ガンダム』の初の実写版映画 MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM MOVIE

youtube.com/watch?v=wfnGyFwoD-­s

REAL MOVIE IN CINEMA

[dokedokeyarou]

2 plays for 500 yen, not bad if you don't get pwned in 30 seconds by a newtype/5yr old

[Salvysahagun]

They're going to attack Pearl Harbor again!!

[weavernutz22]

best arcade game i ever played, i hope i could find one here in okinawa

[KITT171]

Why is it the best shit is made and only stays in Japan?

[rubal00]

@TheWiccan84 or other countries like canada

[LeifAlexander87]

hail zeon 

[MrAlucardthe1st]

amazing !!!!!!! @_____________@

[TomDracoRyu]

Somebody get out there and find out how much one of these things are worth.

[realcatgirllover]

@TomDracoRyu

according to informations on the Namco Bandai website, the official price on release(2006) was 13,800,000 yen, or around 165,000 U.S. dollars for 4(four) P.O.D. Units + (1)one Card Terminal.

[vietkid4life253]

recruit session right there..

[Starforce119]

Damn, all other countries have to be ready for a possible Mobile Suit invasion from Japan... They say that the 1/1 Gundam is just a statue, but they already managed to build one, who's to say they aren't making more and using these 'game pods' to recruit more pilots?

[YOUWIN1970]

@Starforce119 Chicken fellow frightened because of 1/1GUNDAM Doll.

This game machine exists for play.

It is unrelated to the military application.

[Xidphel]

@YOUWIN1970 That's what they WANT you to think.

[bbclanph]

the "credit(s) 0/5" ruined it...

[Silverwolf210]

i remember wen i first played one in japan...... dam i loved it its up there with maximum tune

[TheLovableRoxas]

fuck this im going to tokyo xD

[DeathNote812]

someone stole the headset lol, not really bring your own, unless they actually steal them...

[brigis111]

ya they got this game in okinawa japan..its pretty bad ass ..cant really understand anything if you dont speak or read japanese so you kinda have to wing it and it is expensive.. basically about 5 dollars per play and you get a pilot card with it . You can achieve more gundams etc.

[nykel007]

macross would be kickass with this!!!!!!!!!

[maninthemirrortable]

This is the closest you can get to piloting a real Gundam. SO FAR O.O

[maninthemirrortable]

This is the closest you can get to piloting a real Gundam. SO FAR O.O

[hantojapan]

wow

[yuikkiuy]

i wonder if i can some day buy one with all of my money and put it in my house

[Rey123Duncan]

THIS IS SO COOL!..canada and america gotta get some D: screw the joy stick button street fighter looking machines..WE WANT THIS!!

[FanimeParty]

dude you need to get a gundam pilot card and put it in after that insert 500 yen and your good to go

[SpecialAgentRavage]

i wish this was designed like a linear-style cockpit like in the original gundam

i dont mind the panoramic cockpits, but i like the original ms so much better! :D

[TonyxBologna]

@SpecialAgentRavage Yup, I agree, This version is like how they have the cockpits in char's counterattack or zeta gundam

[Draca851]

when they make real mech and stuff, the come up with simulaters for those mechs that actually move, that would be cool.

[Benjamin72227]

what we dont know is...The 1?1 scale gudame "statue" is actualy A REAL WORKING MS! ont of these things was placed inside its abdominal region durring construction, and with this "simulator" a teenager could pilot it! (as long as they can read japanese)

[zombiezarehood]

Japan, give America this and we'll give you Oprah.

[1BrknHrtdRomeo]

500?!?

lol i saw in the instructional video somewhere here, the girl put in only 100 xD 5 bucks a game?!? holy frick...that's pricey...now i'm trying to imagine the total price if that included getting the pilot card =(

[Rouzuki]

@1BrknHrtdRomeo 300 yen 1 time for the pilot card, 500 yen per game. Expensive? Hells yes. Worth it? Hells yes!

[critanime]

Great vid. That's a similar design cab to what STARBLADE 2 was gonna be in. That blows that we never saw that game :(

Anyway do you know if this is coming west?

[jumpstartkira]

@critanime i wish! 

[619peacekid]

Plays around with controllers

Presses the change, receipt, whatever buttons

Presses the Start Button

Screen says "Please Enter Your Pilot's Card"

WTF???

LOL!!!!

[fdbt4594]

I WANT ONE!! :/

[garethahaha]

There should be a machine called The Terminal. There you fill in your name. You will receive a card after you have completed the form.

[EijiKikumaru187]

@garethahaha hmmm



[BloodAngel2346]

Psh..We already have real gundams..this is the training simulator we used when I was training to become a meister...I mean um...Look over there!! *Runs away*

[irvinwong]

u need to buy a card form a computer its like id card and u insect coin

[sir1robert]

put a coin in ....

[biojc28]

they will enslace us all

[NitroJunkie626]

I really wish these were in America. I so want to play that game! I would learn Japanese and hop on a plane to Tokyo just to play it!

[jasondcdyee]

You need a card as a registry of your id and insert it after you've inserted the coin.

[Devonmontoya]

This means i should train to become a meister !

[Sazuko]

HAHAHA FAIL~!!!

[SUPOJosh]

put your pilot card in. you get it at the thing that sez terminal. then enter your credits!

[kirayamato184]

Lol, when I watch this video, remembered my 1st time coming here, because my friends invited me and OMG.. it's like I dunno what to do in there, so I just press all kinds of button without knowing, but then I started watching the tutorial at youtube, and now I know how to use them, anyways this thing( i think it's called Arcade or something) is Awesome

[DunkableDave]

if this is to come to america. i think they need to make the seat bigger.

[heeropat]

@DunkableDave of coures they do im not kidding!!!

[ChaosZero102]

This SHOULD come to America! We haven't had any real good Gundam things since SD Gundam Force, Gundam Wing, and of course G GUNDAM!!! (which if this comes to America (which it should) They should have the Gundams from G Gundam and Gundam Wing playable)

[DunkableDave]

@ChaosZero102 for the G Gundam you should have to wear tights XD

[thecursedmark]

@ChaosZero102 no... that's a stupid Idea. Almost everything set in UC is better except for victory gundam.

[Devonmontoya]

JAPAN IS SO AWESOME , america WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT WHILE AWESOME JAPANESE PEOPLE GET THE EXPERIENCE OF PILOTING A GUNDAM , ALL WE HAVE IS mechwarrior  ( THIS SUCKS , WE DON'T GET ANYTHING FUN!)

[heeropat]

@Devonmontoya

my gundam v.s. zeta gunam game is perrt close i would own at that japan game :D

i have videos of the gundam v.s. zeta if you wanna find out what its like till this comes to amrica :D

[Corvenik1]

america wont get it cuz we break things :P these games would really be awesome though :o

[24Rorschach]

Funny how violent

America is (I don't want to start a flame or race war, Im American myself). It just makes me sad that its like that tho... I think its because of how children are raised and the HUGE diversity of race and opinions. (Not to mention not being an island),

[Corvenik1]

well im american too and well from what i see is that kids arent raised parents let tv or the rest of the world raise them, people if they see something in public they destroy it because its not theirs, ignant people D:!

[heeropat]

@Corvenik1

i know right thing of how much thers things are and not to metoin getting eghon for the pupolatoin i dont thing there comeing :(

[GemDrake]

Ha I knew it! Japan is secretly planning to ;aunch an actual moving Gundam, they already have the statue and now they got "simulators" where you pilot one. If you get a high score the military comes and kidnaps you for gundam piloting.

[BondageNoJutsu]

@GemDrake: Exactly! I knew I couldn't have been the only one to realize it. They could be training New Types in space right now and we wouldn't even know it.

[heeropat]

@GemDrake XDDD

im joining them then mobile suit pilot here i come :)

[arif530]

if that is real,i'm going to japan right away!

[GundamWing115]

@GemDrake yah lol

[LordFerrand]

@GemDrake Then Im game!!

[Kenshin922]

@GemDrake SHIT they need to have it in the usa as well and i be the next char just give me the red zaku wait better yet the white zaku lol

[BlackAce1229]

@Kenshin922 if we have that pod i will be an ace in no time people will call me the black comet pr the black knight.

[Kenshin922]

@BlackAce1229 hey i agree get these damn gundam pod and i wont want to leave lol

[goko178]

@GemDrake well some people in this world might want to pilot a gumdam. if they hade those Gundam Arcade Game-Pod. and if i got a high score i won't mind pilotion a gumdam. it would be my dream to do that.

[poik12]

@GemDrake Then they must be the feds, QUICK CREATE ZEON!

[Kenshin922]

@poik12 fuck a fed Hail ZEON

[dlwilliam]

@GemDrake oh wish we have one of them pods right now i dont mind if they take me away when make a high score.

[RRVCrinale]

@GemDrake Either that or it's like Virtual-On: when a crisis erupts the best of the best beat the crap out of each other's remotely-controlled Mobile Suits for the right to save the world, and when they're not doing that, the best of the best beat the crap out of each other's remotely-controlled Mobile Suits for the sheer bloody hell of it.

[theafterlife2511]

@GemDrake do they take you even if your just 11 years old?

[o0CSS0o]

@GemDrake I wouldn't mind that :D

[YOUWIN1970]

@GemDrake It is a foolish US person with clout over the military that seriously does it.

[coolbeans278]

@GemDrake wish they would kidnap me to be a gundam pilot hehe

[thehype16]

that would be crazy if the thing shakes when you're hit or walk

[emoli87]

first of all you need a pilot card,

you get it from a terminal that is in the near of the simulatorts 100 yen! and than you can stick in in the slot in the emulator and letzs rock the MS:D

[XxTomomokoxX]

and woah thats 5 dollars

[XxTomomokoxX]

does anyone know if this will be relesed in america

[darkoni12398]

america hats gundam so no....america also doesnt support arcade games much which is why most arcades are still games like tekken 3 and streets of rage

[thecursedmark]

@darkoni12398 We don't hate Gundam... we hate people like you who think we hate Gundam and only port over shitty games to America like Crossfire(PS3) so they have a legitimate reason to not send us the good games. I played most of your Japan Exclusive Gundam Games and they are always 100x better(gundam climax uc) then the garbage you export to us. Fuck you Japan!!!

[darkoni12398]

@thecursedmark yeah...im someone who hates gundam....guess thats why im looking at 2 different copies of battle field record, teh entire gundam battle and vs serries and for some reason dynasty gundam on my desk. Grow up and realise that jsut becuase u and me like something doesnt mean that the general public does. Also I am america....so derp!!! Anime is no longer popular in mainstream america....except dbz, pokemon, and a few others.

[X3MUSEWOOO]

@darkoni12398 I can tell you're from america because of your piss poor reading & writing abilities.

[darkoni12398]

@X3MUSEWOOO And I can tell you are an asshole who gets off by makeing anonymous coments online because he's too much of a coward to do it in real life. Oh look I managed to place you perfectly without turning to racism!

[X3MUSEWOOO]

@darkoni12398 Again, proving you are a moron, I do not know you IRL. I am no coward.

[j0kk23]

@darkoni12398 wow.... you can spell anonymous correctly but not making?

[Drago2097]

Where is this in Japan cuz im going on a business trip to Japan to study its games so yeah im goin to play this

[usubypopo]

everywhere in big city..

this is the online battle so if u go to

west japan,u have to fight as Federal army

if u go to east,u have to do as Zion.

very difficult..need the skill

[gr8xman]

it would be pwnsom if i could buy this

[StrafeBreaker]

Heheheh and what I've heard its really expensive living in Japan so I can't blame you for not spending on this machine though it looks really interesting to try out... I would have never had your composure if I were in your place and burn my wallet...ouch...lol;

[Anime958]

it may look old but its like a game that u can play forever.

[paledrinum]

lol u didnt buy the card ,should be close to the machines. u have to buy the card and make the user names and whatnot then u can insert the car after u plug in the 500 yen

[silverstarinthesky]

I wana go to Japan just so I could try this ting out!

[TheWiccan84]

Cool. I wish they made one in the US. They would be sweet for all the Gundam fans.

[owenboy120]

@TheWiccan84 lol the only u.k gundam fan wud be me, so ill hav it all to myself hehehe lo

[Grimwolfleader]

@owenboy120 they would need to bring more than 1 to hte UK i want 1 of those things myself. Defo a buy if ya win the lottery but will need it translating to english.

[owenboy120]

@Grimwolfleader lol

[XharchianValor]

@TheWiccan84

That'd be nice. We just have to hope that not too many non-fan children start crawling all over it, or saying "That's stupid! Transformers is better!" If we get that out of the way, then, booyah!

[Sazuko]

Your Pilot Card is the key to the Game, It keeps your data from every game you ever play as well as all money you collect for missions (missions are either played with/against in-arcade enemies/Allies or you can play over the internet across Japan) When I played in Akihabara the headsets were given, you didn't have to bring. also with money you earn you can upgrade your mobile suit with new weapons parts/ power ups and even full mobile suits. It IS the Best Arcade Game I've ever played~!

[Sazuko]

DUDE WTF, What Arcade did YOU go to to play XD~! you know damn well you should have went to Akiba to play`! way friendler there~ and they have headsets already in the pods~ \(~_~;) / please tell me you still got to play right, it like the most AWESOME ARCADE GAME EVER MADE~! First you have to Register in the Data base as an Official mobile suit pilot, then you get your pilot's Card, once you enter the Pod you start and enter your pilot card, enter credits and play,

[chris12093]

>.> the funny thing is I will probably never play this in my life but I do know how to play it lol I sent the distributors a E-Mail asking if America or any other country will have this, of course they never replied xD but its simple epically since it's similar to the Gundam Wing anime aka if you were a kid growing up with Gundam and played pretend you'd be a Ace XD!

[Sazuko]

so sorry but WRONG~!!!! ITS WAAAY FREAK'N HARDER THAN IT LOOKS~!!!!

[tokyoalias]

i played this in an arcade in Akiba! Didn't know wtf i was doing either =P

[Monkerr]

Wished the pod moved :P like if you're upside down the pod goes upside down :D

[littlekeven]

fuck this im going to tokyo this summer!

[MrRnB105Produktions]

im impressed i wish i was working with bandai so i can have a good upgrad to the pod and make it seem like a real gundam

[Matanumi]

like, it doesn't have all the shit.

only in japan.... which were arcade gaming is STILL alive (arcades suck shit here)

[Vdraug]

1:06 It was asking for your pilots card

[Gorgo]

fraking awesome !!!

[animedreamer9]

you need a pilot card to activate the game

[Matanumi]

thats fuckin warped- still doesn't emulate an MS cockpit fully though.

[Phrygian12]

Doesn't emulate a MS Fully?

did you fight along side char??

ばか！～

[3215121]

you should put 2 500 YEN to play

[littlekeven]

how much is 2 500 yen compared for us money?

[fah85]

How much is it if convert to Singapore Money?

[SimurX]

take 2 zero off it and it's alittle bit over that think of a yen as a cent instead of a dollar
