I'd like to apologize for the lack of updates. The Cross Drive dedicated site is being remodelled using a blog-like system here, so check out the new updates for this month. The other informations will be slowly gathered into their own sections, so please be patient.

New info were released at the Official Site in the last few weeks regarding additional series and a promotion movie. The new entries are Gundam SEED C.E. 73 Stargazer, Crossbone Gundam and Gundam Sentinel.

The promotion movie shows off the new system features such as:

• The already mentioned full touchscreen capabilities, including drag-and-dropping units in squads, and zooming in and out at the map
• The formation of squad units can be freely modified, and this affects the weapon type of units, as well as the possibility of unleashing a powerful combination attack (Cross-Drive)
• There are now several choices for mechanics that affects unit's upgrades. Different mechanics give different upgrades, it seems
• More original characters, this time what seems more like villains: Arclight Stringer, Georgia Stringer, Silka Chainy and Ferdinando Lestahook, and perhaps a twin character for Fio name Mio
• The promo movie mentions the game volume to consist of 120 stages as well as 1500 events

The game was announced, but in the verge of SRWWW's success I couldn't make a dedicated site to the newest entry in the GGeneration family. Fear not, it's here, with so much appreciated scans:

• First scans page 1, page 2
• Most recent scans page 1, page 2

So far what is known about the game:

• Completely adapted to touch-screen, with the combat map (not a mini-map) on bottom screen. The team management is also by touch-screen, featuring drag-and-dropping from a list of MS to a squad
• The squads are formed by 4 units, instead of 3. Each position of the squad has its limits on weapon usage, it seems (leader member focus on melee, 2nd and 3rd on middle-range, 4th member on long-ranged)
• Mobile Suit development works the same way as the previous title, whereas now it's possible to customize a Mobile Suit by adding certain parts (like I-Field)
• Cross-Drive is the combination attack of certain units. A few of them are: Freedom and Justice; Astray Red and Astray Blue; Hyperion and X-Astray; Nu-Gundam, Zeta and Double Zeta
• Two Original characters: Fio Crawford, a moody boy who has great skills when inside a Mobile Suit, and Nikea, a girl developed as a weapon, who loses part of her memory. One of them can be chosen at the beginning of the game.
• Event scenes can now take up the two screens, as shown in Master Asia's death scene, as well as heavy focus on Seed Destiny's story
• Pre-Order bonus include a "Gundam Game Cart Case", with space for 3 DS carts. Also, a special package with DS Lite and budled Cross Drive will be available.
