At least AGE as a rep. G Gundam and Gundam X can't even say that.

Something tells me they aren't going to sell a lot of that DLC.

I'm guessing you're saying that because it is Age, but how it plays matters. I guarantee you that if the suit is S tier, it will do incredibly well and you will see the thing constantly.

Not really. A lot of other shows are missing such as G Gundam, Endless Waltz, 00 season 2, and Seed Destiny. All of these were in past VS games like Extreme VS. Bamco probably did this on purpose to sell these back as DLC.

Age-1 was a popular unit to be used in the arcades when it first released. There's actually a number of Age suits that get played in the competitive scene for MBON. While I'm happy to see other series are being added in now, I'm still disappointed in the fact they're going to be paid DLC units as single units. If they were packaged together with a couple others for the same price as 1 dlc I'd be less annoyed. Something like Deathscythe Hell, Zero EW and Tallgeese 3 being a package deal for 500-600 yen.

NOW the game is worth getting for me. If there's no AGE then I don't care about the Gundam game.

Well to be fair the mecha designs are ok-ish for a game. I wish I could say the anime was ok...

The anime was aimed towards young teens. Frankly franchise can't survive on 30+ somethings supporting it. AGE was ok, it felt more a product placement at first with that wizkid who manages make a maker-bot that automatically upgrades his Gundam randomly.

2nd and 3rd Seasons got more serious as time progressed as the original character aged and became more fanatical. While his grandson became typical semi-non-violent / let's all get along type.

Action was decent but it was paraphrasing the original Gundam series many ways, which became predictable.

Yeah, like every other prime time tv gundam in the last couple decades. They didn't all bomb like Age though.
