Gundam Extreme Versus Built On PS3 Compatible Hardware

Namco Bandai has yet another Mobile Suit Gundam arcade game in development, but Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Versus uses different hardware.

Past Gundam Vs. arcade games were configured for Namco System 256. Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Versus is made for Namco System 357, the same hardware Namco Bandai used for Tekken 6. Namco System 357 has a Cell processor and the PS3’s RSX graphics processor.

The new hardware should make Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Versus the sharpest installment of the Gundam Vs. series. Also, since Gundam: Extreme Versus uses the same hardware, Namco Bandai could port this game to PlayStation 3. So far, all of the other arcade Gundam games were released for PSP.
