Looks like Koei and Namco-Bandai enjoyed their collaboration on Dynasty Warriors Gundam so much that they're back for another go. Yep, the shameless conjunction of Koei's button-mashing and Bandai's massive robot suits will be returning to the PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360 this year.
Slated for a December 4 release, this sequel shouldn't really be surprising. Dynasty Warriors and Gundam are two absurdly popular franchises in Japan, so it makes sense to deliver more. Looks like I know what I'll be getting my hands on at the Koei booth at TGS, anyway (note to colleagues: Don't let me near the Koei booth or no work will get done.)
The original Dynasty Warriors Gundam was okay, but nothing spectacular. Maybe if they beef up the variety of attacks and work on balancing the game's difficulty a little better, the sequel will be much more enjoyable. Also, BURNING FINGER!

Or maybe they'll use the Renbu combat system from DW:6? I'm hopeful for atleast that
.
But this game will print money.
Oh shit, Big Zam, Alpha Azieru, and Psycho Gundam (three huge mobile armors) are in this!? Quess Paraya's there, too, who is one of the most annoying anime characters ever created.

Though I hope they do a bit more with it...and include the RX-79(G) EZ-8.
They better make the achievements harder this time around. MAX LEVEL FOR ALL MOBILE SUITS WITH ALL PILOTS, FERIZZLE
G Gundam was so awful that it was amazing.
Also Master Asia is bad ass.
