When Namco Bandai announced Gundam Musou, a strange mix of the Gundam universe with the Dynasty Warriors engine, it was only a PlayStation 3 game. Then it became an Xbox 360 game when it was announced as Dynasty Warriors: Gundam in North America and most recently it got a downgraded PlayStation 2 port.
Namco Bandai has a similar strategy with the release of Gundam Musou 2, but they’re announcing all of the versions from the start. Gundam Musou 2 will be a PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 2 game when it comes out on December 4 in Japan. Gundam Musou Special must have sold decently for Namco Bandai to consider this three pronged strategy, but this doesn’t guarantee Namco Bandai will release the PS2 version of Gundam Musou 2 outside of Japan. As of now there are no plans for Namco Bandai or Koei to publish Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Special in any other region.
