Gundam Evolution Deserves to Be Remembered

Gundam Evolution was a fantastic game despite it being far from perfect. It's a shame that it's gone as it makes it much harder to talk about, but G.EVO perfectly encapsulates the kinds of games I find most fascinating: broken, fun and genuinely inventive.

I didn’t do any research prior to writing my script as I intended the video to be more personal/opinion based. After stumbling onto this article during the editing process though I did feel a little validated in some of those baseless claims I made. Editing this was a very humbling process in realizing how much work can actually go into making a video, even when the scope of the original idea was very basic in concept.

I look forward to seeing what you guys have to say about this and Gundam Evolution. Also I genuinely wouldn’t mind any anime or game recommendations; getting into this franchise seems quite difficult without knowing where to start. I’ve only dipped my toes outside of the UC Timeline and so far it’s been pretty rough, but maybe you guys know better than I do. So far the 3 Mobile Suit Gundam movies are the clear winners. The later stuff seems to struggle with their justification for having Shonen age characters fighting in these insanely brutal conflicts.
