mbd30 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 A Mobile Suit Gundam game was originally released for the Arcadia in 1983. That's a bit of a shocker. http://videogamecritic.com/arcadiamz.htm#Mobile_Suit_Gundam_%28Japan%29 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazing Lazers Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Wow! I had no idea about this game- I really need to spend more time with my Arcadia Multicart... Good luck finding an actual copy of this game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Wow, back in the day the Japanese would not develop for a western console, so that's kinda rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Well, the thing here is that the Arcadia 2001 was a "rebrand-it" system. So it was not really a Western console since it was all sold by Bandai, and not just a import system : (even if it was still conceived by Philips and made in Hong Kong, probably by Soundic) So they either made the game themselves or asked the team developing the games in Hong Kong to adapt some Japanese franchises to sell it better.

Apparently the unhappy looking kid on the bottom didn't get some of the drugs that everyone else was taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
