If you read our review of Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce, you'll know that Koei's attempt to freshen up its DW formula on the PSP was surprisingly quite successful. The ten thousand of you who bought the game based on our review will be thrilled to know that some new downloadable missions will be available for free very soon. Europe gets its DLC tomorrow, with America to follow at the start of June.
The Strikeforce Quest Pack #1 will contain five new missions, including a new boss fight againt an Ice Bi Xie. Those who have played the Japanese DLC before have noted that these missions aren't really much different from the main game, but it's all extra content and it's all free, so that's nothing to sniff at.
In addition, Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2, which we are yet to review because the man at Namco Bandai won't talk to me, will also be getting DLC very soon. Both Europe and North America will be getting it on May 28, and I believe it will also be free, although I haven't got a confirmation on that. It'll include two brand new missions, with an opportunity to find a whole shedload of Gundam parts.
If all of this stuff costs us nothing, that's definitely the sort of DLC I can get behind.

Do we have more stuff on the way? Is it too much to hope for more free stuff from Namco Bandai?
Given Namco/Bandai's DLC history, particularly with, say, Naruto for PS3, we'll see more DLC missions that are technically just unlocks. Their "Storm Pack" DLCs have just been unlocks of characters that were NPC-only opponents before. All the movesets and animations were there, the Storm Packs just made them selectable, then adding an ultimate mission.
It's the same thing with these DWG2 DLCs, at least judging from the file size (about 100kb). At least it's all been free so far. As for additional content, I don't think any of the MS units seen in the game are unavailable for selection, so any new MS units would have to be added in. I hope they put in some of the units from Gundam 00 or SEED Astray. Exia and Astray Red Frame are some of the best-looking designs in years.
Original Domon Kasshu voice actor plz.
That and herro's orginal voice actor too, even if i have to pay for it.
Oh and Deathsythe Hell and Dragona gundam downloads please.
I heard on their blog they tried to find him to do it, but he moved to the Netherlands? and became a doctor or something.
@ killatia
I would pay simply to get the Japanese voice tracks
They are Bright and Amuro, right? *squints*
