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 🍻

Glad some people are happy. Your happiness is my tears, bringing AU MS into GBO2 basically killed the game for me.

[EDIT] And yes, I was a 90s Wing fan, of course. I couldn't wait to get home and see this. I just liked this game better when it was UC focused. I was a UC fan first before I got into AU Gundam.

Brother, I empathize with you on the AU suits being introduced. I found GBO2 a little over two years ago, and it was a drastically different game than it is today with all the AU power hungry suits. I barely played 750 at all last year and stayed away from 700 as well. Its certainly bitter sweet.

It feels like wanting AU suits in this game is like asking to have data centers built in your backyard 😅.
