In Gundam mythology, a bustling population problem and
attendant pollution spike on Earth drove the colonization into
space. Massive space stations called "Sides" are
deployed which orbit the earth in a perimeter dubbed the Earth
sphere. Thus began a new world calendar standard, Universal
Century, which debuts at UC 0001. In UC 0058, the colony of
Side-3, lorded over by Zeon Zum Deikun declares independence
from the Earth Federation and both sides prepare for war and
rhetoric. As UC 0068 turns, Zeon Deikun goes the way of the
dodo by the hand of Degwin Zabi, who founds the Principality
of Zeon on Side 3. During this time, a scientist named Dr.
Minovsky discovers a new elementary particle which can be used
to create mighty weapons of war. In UC 0074, the first mobile
suit rolls off the production line, powered by an internal
fusion reactor. On January 03, UC0079, the Principality of
Zeon launches the One Year War against the Earth Federation
which destroy half of the population of the planet. With it's
superior weaponry, a wide swath is cut across the planet
including the destruction of an orbiting space colony.
It is
under this premise that the latest SD Gundam G Generation
Gather Beat begins. As with all SD Gundam games, the
action plays out in tactical fashion with the player
marshalling forces against opposing cadres of mecha both in
space and on Earth. The first battle the player participates
in acts only as a prelude and the real meat and potatoes battle
begins on November 30, UC 0079 at Jaburo. The introduction to
the game mentions the battle at Odessa only in passing. Each
game order includes a beautiful, super glossy poster from
Bandai, which measures 24 1/2 x 33 1/2". Due to separate
shipping necessary for this poster, NCS will charge you an
additional US$3.00 if you wish to have the poster. You can
also opt out of the poster and no additional charge will be
assessed to you. |
