PS3: Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation - Took it For A Spin Today

PS3: Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation
Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation went live today on Japan's Playstation Network.  The game can be easily downloaded for free with the use of a Japan PSN account.  Yes, you can access and play this game even if you do not live in Japan. =)
For more info about the game, view HERE
Once the game was installed... I was able to get an online match going within minutes.
Played a few matches... and I must say this game ROCK!  Although I couldn't give a good critique of the game with the brief time I had with it.  But surely, heading into battle with a team of Zakus against a team of GMs is quite exhilarating for a UC fan like myself.   Will definitely be investing more time playing this... perhaps more thoughts about this game later.
Our sponsored site, GundamKitsCollection.com had translated the menu and control interface.. and we took the liberty to make it into a quick card, as seen below.  Hope this help folks abroad get into this game easier.

Parts swapped between the HG 1/144 Gundam AGE-1 Titus & D-Arts Megaman Zero 1st.  Not a bad mix...

Gunpla World Cup 2012 – U.S. Championship 
Bluefin, Bandai Hobby's official distributor in the United States, will be holding three more rounds of competitions at U.S. anime-related events to determine U.S. semi-finalists for the 2nd annual GunPla Builders World Cup. The three remaining rounds will be held at this year's Anime Expo (June 29-July 2), Otakon (July 27-29), and New York Comic Con (October 11-14).
Semi-finalists chosen from these rounds will join winners with entries designated "Best in Show" from the already-held rounds at Sakura-Con, Anime Central, and A-Kon to compete once again in order to determine the U.S. Representative for the competition finals.

Best in Show recipients from U.S. events so far include Jack Elliot Nunn's HGUC Geara Zulu (Sakura-Con), Benny Herrera's Beargguy (Anime Central), and Brian Cash's U-Suit 47 Gogg, photos of which are available below. More photos of award winners are available on the competition's website. 
The preliminary rounds have both Open (15 and older) and Junior (14 and younger) age categories, and awards for Best in Show, Best 1/100, Best 1/144, Best SD, and Best Out of Box will be given to entrants. Entries must be made from original Bandai Gundam kits, though modification, remodeling, and so on of the kits is permitted. Other rules, including those on size limitations, are published on Bluefin's official contest website.

The finals of the World Cup will take place at the Gundam Front Tokyo entertainment complex on Tokyo's artificial island of Odaiba this December. Representatives from 13 countries or areas in total will compete in this year's competition: Japan, Italy, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, North America, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand.
Bluefin Distribution had updated their site with the winners from our Sakura-Con event that took place in Seattle, WA. (http://www.bluefincorp.com/catalog/2012-winners)
