Honestly the writer hit it on the head. It's a pretty simple fighting system, but each suit has different movesets and at least something else going for it so it doesn't feel like you're just playing the same thing but with a different weapon. The force stuff is also pretty simple, but still fun to play around with, your army is never really useless, just not as good as you personally. One thing I really love is the soundtrack made it over intact, so instead of the generic soundtrack you normally get in like DW: Gundam, it's actual stuff from the shows. Other than that nothing really outstanding, it's really just a game that aimed to be simple but fun and it accomplished that, it's just after having gotten nothing Gundam outside of DW: Gundam for so long, dropping the simple little Vita title out here instead of Gundam Breaker 3 just feels lame, especially since they're actively trying to get Gundam back on it's feet in the west.

I don't know anything about mecha anime but I like mecha games, so as long as they keep bringing over giant robots that blow everything up games over I'm satisfied.

Can anyone who's actually played the main Gundam VS series comment either way on whether Force fucks up the combat mechanics?

force's combat mechanics are fine the problem is the lack of suits and features that have been standard in the vs series for like four or five iterations now

It was kinda dead from the moment they postponed it from lack of preorders. Also huh, these Trails in the Sky Vita updates do less than I thought they did. Then again the last 2 months have had some of the most depressingly low figures I've seen in a while.

Add Pokemon Go being a colossal success and I wouldn't be surprised if we're seeing the last of handheld videogames. Only mobile games from now on

I really doubt it, honestly. For one thing the pokemon games themselves will probably always be on handheld consoles.

There are things you can only do on a dedicated handheld and while they might become more niche as people who'd buy one for sudoku games or something move on to mobile stuff, I don't think they'll ever go away, at least not for the foreseeable future. Though I dunno if anyone other than Nintendo will bother trying with one again.

There's nothing about Pokemon that necessitates a joystick and some physical buttons, it can be played perfectly with a touchscreen.

The thing is that Nintendo makes games that require things like dexterity and precise control, which has yet to be achieved using touch screens. Imagine trying to play Metroid or Zelda with phone touch controls.

I would argue that while you can certainly play turn based RPG's adequately on a touch only device it's not the best way to play them.

Metroid requires some precise jumping and such, so that may not work, but top-down Zelda can absolutely be done well on a phone. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.square_enix.adventures&hl=en As long as you can make it so the most important stuff in the game happens in, like, 4:3 in the center of a horizontal screen, most handheld games can be done on mobile pretty easily. That doesn't necessarily mean they'll be as pleasant to play as using d-pads and physical buttons, but they're not undoable.

Most games could be probably converted to phones but the controls will still be much worse than with physical buttons.

Okay, so you can play turn based rpgs and and top down zelda with bad controls on touch screens. That leaves out Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, action RPGs, 3D Zelda, any sort of shooter, and basically anything else that moves even slightly quick. I think phone controls aren't an option for Nintendo.

There's way more money pandering to casuals than pandering to neckbeards, traditional game companies have been slow to realize it but you'll see how there won't be more than one maybe two more console generations before it all becomes standardized and everything just comes out for iPhone and PC.

Just because the casual market is large that doesn't mean that there isn't room for a handheld console.

It does unless handheld consoles can somehow justify their increase development budgets and costs. Part of the reason we see fewer b-tier games is because even a low-budget game has massively increased development budgets if just through things like voice acting. The Vita is not a cheap system to develop for and unless the 3DS successor is hilariously underpowered it is going to have the same problem.
