Well, no, not really. But when a strategy game called Emblem of Gundam comes along, we’re pretty much mandatory to manufacture that joke. The latest Gundam game on the DS explores the history of the Gundam universe while simulating strategic ground battles.

Emblem of Gundam is, at its core, a turn-based strategy game. It plus includes a heavy character-driven adventure component, based around conversations amoung characters. At convinced points in the game, you’ll be given a choice about which scenario

to follow, or, as the game puts it, which “history button” to press.

Expect a lot of story in Emblem of Gundam: the game is designed to add additional perspective to the storylines in Mobile Suit Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: A War in the Pocket, Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, and Mobile Suit Gundam Z.
