I remember feeling cocky and taking on the mission to delay the White Base as Zeon retreats into orbit in nothing but a Zaku 1. I felt like it was a real achivement to shoot down the Guncannon and Guntank while playing enough of a game of tag with Amuro to run down the timer. Those were an exhausting 15 minutes.

It’s almost surreal looking at this game when you think about later titles in the series like Extreme Vs.

This is actually the first game in the Gundam Versus series. I played this on Dreamcast all the time, that version didnt have story mode though.

heh. Ive just been doing a feddie campaign of this recently. I forgot how rough some of the "story" missions could be. Noting your camera comments at the 6:30 mark, you do have to remember, this is a port of an arcade game.

Dont forget you can dodge the attacks by double tapping the direction pad, and also fire any artillery equipped suit indirectly by holding O

I love playing just grunts and nameless soldiers in franchises. So Fed vs Zeon and like the Star Wars Battlefront games fulfils that fantasy for me. Sieg Zeon! For the Empire! EDIT: Ah you mentioned Battlefront. I loved the campaign giving you upgraded suits, I loved the enhanced Zaku I with the Commander Horn. It would be cool if the more modern or a new Gundam Versus entry would have an extensive campaign like FvZ.

The only thing I liked more in GVZ was the alternate paths in the campaign mode. Otherwise, I prefer this simply due to the One Year War setting

Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam woulda been better but it was impossible to find. I still have this game, Zeonic Front and Gundam Battle Assault 1 & 2 on my Gundam shelf. There is a New Game + mode after you beat the game. Earth/Space map turns red and you have a limited number of MS.

One of my favorites I still have my copy from when I was younger and I have it on the retroid pocket 3. I love the campaign wish they did the same for gvszg

I got this game in my early teens, I played through this game so much its really fun. I played it again a few years ago and its still just as good for a mobile suit gundam game.

Damn!!! I still remember playing this one on the PS2, had a lot of fun with the missions and unlocking suits, I love playing as the grunts, the resupply mechanic is a pain sometimes but it forces you to try out different units that you probably wouldn't have otherwise

federation vs. zeon was a arcade port to ps2 which is why the controls are the way they are

Love the game, so much fun, played is so many time. I had the goal of taking down every instances that Amuro's gundam was in the mission, even if he was supposed to be unbeatable and the only one I never managed to get him in the Texas Colony mission, despite being a hair breath of getting him with Gyan. God he is a nightmare to beat and I can get why the Zeon rightly feared the Gundam. It was fun doing various VS combo with getting both sides MS and AM available and do the most uneven tables like beating three Gundam's in the Ball or Zaku1; you grow to appreciate a well timed crack grenades' throw very quickly. Weirdly enough Agguy was particularly dangerous and useful if you overlooked the slow waddling, take the time to practice with it; man was it's head Vulcans useful, and the arm cannon had quite a punk if you timed it right, and it's CqC could seriously shreed you. This game was ENDLESS fun, and G VS ZG was just as fun.

Yeah I did this with Char and the only stage I could ever really reliably really kill him on was the Jaburo one where he shows up in the interior and trying to trap him by the buildings as the stage won't progress until he's defeated and he keeps trying to move to a specific part of the stage to leave rather than leaving at any border like the Aces do on most stages. Most other stages either were timed and he just had too much health for it to really be feasible or he was teamed up with Lalah and avoiding her while taking him down is just impossible.

The game controls great man. The lack of camera panning a real non issue. The lock on makes it easy.

One year war for life. Sieg Zeon.

The day after I find your channel it turns out you upload a video on my favorite Gundam game, the algorithm worked wonders for once.

This Game Was My Introduction To Mobile Suit Gundam. Ever Since Then, Ive Watched Every Gundam Series/Movies And Played Almost Every Gundam Game Released. This Game Is One Of My Top 3 Favorite Games Needless To Say, I Love Gundam!

While I love this game for as you said the ability to be a grunt mobile suit pilot during the One Year War and the ability to use captured enemy mobile suits, something that I wished Zeonic Front had, I actually preferred the Gundam vs Zeta Gundam game instead of this one at times. As it had some decent "what if" mission which does change things with the main story. Like one memorable mission you can play where you as a AEUG pilot end up fighting against Titan-colored Nemo mobile suits which was quite interesting. You can also "save" some of the killed characters from both the original series and Zeta Gundam. Like saving Lalah during the end of the original series or keeping Emma Sheen alive at the end of Zeta. Such things will result in an aternative line of missions which really does change things with the game and its story. Though I don't remember if Gundam vs Zeta Gundam had that using captured enemy mobile suit gimmick that this game sported. Sigh.

Hands down these where the best games during that time

The nostalgia with this game!

Randomly saw this game at Hollywood video when I was younger, and had only seen Wing and G on Toonami. When they closed down, I made sure to buy it(and Zeonic Front), and I put hundreds of hours into them both for years. THIS is what I want in a Gundam game, not the newer VS style

Ah, good ol New Yark

Love this game. I played it a lot as both Fed and Zeon, but mostly Zeon. I would cringe and my hands would be sweaty whenever I had to face Amuro and the Gundam, just doing my utmost to stay alive while still fighting him. Still is a great game to play.

Wtf I thought this channel was a large well established one based on the production quality. Well done! Subscribed.

Absolutely wonderful game

Man capcoms time at the gundam vs games is very solid

I sunk an insane amount of hours into this game when it came out. BandaiNamco has no idea how much a game like this would be appreciated again minus the fighting game aspect the VS series has become. There is a Gundam SEED variant called Federation VS ZAFT, unfortunately it's a Japanese only release.

I always felt like the Federation route was a lot tougher than the Zeon one. Once you lose access to the Ground Gundam and GM, you're pretty hosed for backup suits in Space.

The games are mad fun, but definitely much more so when played co-op. You need a second player cause the Ai backup you get is just trash.

I remember playing this as a kid and getting locked into a death spiral where I lost my best gundam on a mission, then continued failing that mission with worse and worse suits until I just gave up. I should revisit it as an adult.

Gundam Crossfire will give you a good idea of how it feels to pilot a ball even if the thing youre using isnt a Ball.

I freaking loved this game, would play out the Zeon campaign a lot. I think the highest rank I managed to get was Commander.

I remember playing this on arcade because I already tried Gundam Vs. Zeta Gundam on PS2 and it was fun as hell! Shame they didn't include the cast of 08th MS Team and Stardust Memory, a playable GM Custom would be great!

Look whos back with another Gundam game!! I put a lot of time in this one when it was released. I agree Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam is the better game since it took what Fed v. Zeon did and improved in the areas it was lacking. I'm curious if your considering covering Gundam games that never made it over to the West. I've been playing an English patch of Gihrens Greed on the PSP using PPSSPP and that game is A TON of fun. It's Risk meets Gundam in a sense. I'm going through my second playthrough through the Federation stage. I've been doing the Very Easy mode since it gives you cool bonuses like better mobile suits and mobile armors to help you out. There was also the Gundam Battle games on the PSP which I have those phyiscally and those play the same way as Fed v Zeon.

This is one of my favorite Gundam games along with Zeonic Front. I don't like Gundam vs Zeta Gundam as much because I miss being a regular pilot in the campagin instead of following a hero's path. I usually play as Zeon though because the Dom is my favorite UC Mobile Suit, and the Z'Gok is in the top ten, maybe top five.

Imagine playing a space leo versus wing zero.

Now I just play GBO2 in grunt suits

I played vs Zeta and as much as I enjoyed the combat and variety of mechs you could pilot the game had no place being 40+ hours long. So many of the alternate timelines in the story felt redundant and could have just been done in form of teams or lets say "you can play this mission as this this this and that character but this other variation of continuity can only be accessed by that one character etc". As it is you have to play each identical timeline with every character involved separately, which often leads to playing the same set of stages 5-10 times over, it really doesn't make the game more fun, it just makes it take longer. How long does it take to beat Federation vs Zeon in both modes? is it shorter than vs Zeta?

I bought this game from Amazon… or was it the retro game store near me.

There are 5 Gundam titles released on the PSP that is exactly like this, the gameplay during battles is exactly the same as this one, although the PSP games doesn’t have a fatigue mechanic, and also has MS tuning. The graphics also doesn’t hold up to this game. The best one of the 5 titles, Gundam Battle Universe, has suits ranging from 0079 up to Gundam Sentinel, it even has the Xi and Penelope.
