Some more screenshots were released for Namco Bandai's upcoming Gundam game, Gundam Musou 2. Some of the new Mobile Suits to join the fray are the two iconic Mobile Suits from legendary Gundam movie Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, one of the premiere suits from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY, and a trio of mobile armors that aim to wreck havok.
The RX-93 ν Gundam and MSN-04 Sazabi were the mobile suits piloted by the legendary Amuro Ray and Char Aznable in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, which took place during the Second Neo Zeon War. They were two of the best mobile suits of all time, capable of large amounts of firepower, and had to use of funnels in their arsenal. The ZGMF-X20A piloted by Kira Yamato joins the fray from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY, bringing its DRAGOON funnels to the fray along with the extra cannons available on the Gundam. From the mobile armor side, the NZ-333 α Azieru from Char's Counterattack, MA-08 Big Zam from Mobile Suit Gundam, and the MRX-009 Psycho Gundam from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam are ready to antagonize.
Gundam Musou 2 will release in Japan on December 4th, 2008 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2. The HD versions will retail for 7800 yen, while the PS2 version will retail for 6800 yen. The official site can be found

News Story attached to:
On another note, I can't believe they're making a sequel for Gundam Musou. At the same time, I can't believe how well the first one did. Then again, Koei has that effect on me every time they announce another flippin' sequel or game that runs on the same freaking engine.
Oh, and Gundam sells in Japan. It has much less to do with the Musou engine rather than the Gundam skin it comes with.
That said, I will get this game because it has Nu Gundam.
