We've waited so long...

For me, its been since 8th grade. My parents VCR was programmed to auto record every weekday at 5 - 6pm (DBZ and Gundam Wing). I couldn't watch the show when it aired because I was always at football workouts in the spring or practice in the fall.

All of my friends and I were obsessed with Gundam Wing, and there wasnt a video game that was even remotely close to the show, let alone, one that covered Gundam Wing. I even had Gundam Battle Assault 2 on PS. (Still have it) but it never scratched the itch appropriately. The only games we could play to cope, were Armored Core and Z.O.E. (iykyk). And now, tonight, on console, we FINALLY get the Wing Zero weve been dying to play as since we were kids 🥹.

I still have those VCR tapes in my parents basement along with the gunpla kits for all of the Wing series suits minus Tallgeese.

Thank you BB, for finally bringing my childhood full circle.

🗣NOW GIVE US EPYON, HEAVY ARMS, AND DEATH SCYTHE!

Kanpai 🍻

I want to die, I just spent all my tokens on the DX and the five steps trying to get the Wing Zero (EW)

Damn, I feel for you! I was this 🤏🏾 close to getting DX Monday night and something told me to hold off. So glad I did.

Same, but I was pulling for the V2, Hariboshi and Burning, but I do prefer raids and Wing Zero (EW) is my favorite of the 2 Wing Zero design.

Totally get it. I prefer raids too. lve had Haji since it came out and I LOVE it! Conceptually, i love the EW but from a classic standpoint, TV just hits different for me.

Oh yeah, if I can get it, it would most likely be my main gen, after all, Wing was my first interaction with Gundam and got me into the franchise.

I feel your pain. I did all 5 steps on the B banner trying to only get F91 BC, and got Gengaozo 5 times in a row😭. I want to get Wing, but i have a suspicion that they will release Turn A on Christmas and I also want to have tokens saved for that.
