Cards and Videogames


1. GAGE-ing


The new concept of Gundam AGE is the usage of GAGE-ing, just
like what we’ve seen in Gunpla Builder, we could use our
Gunpla into the videogame itself.






The concept is use your Gunpla, in this case we saw GAGE-ing
Builder (GB) being “read” into Halo (the reader) for
simulation game, or being “read” to the arcade machine
to use it into fights.


You may see more into GAGE-ing in his own website: GAGE-ing


2. Card-based Videogame


Another confirmed videogames are based on cards which will be
sold separately.



The cards are lined up.




The game preview and arcade machine.


You may see more into TRY (assummed the name of this game) in
his own website: Gundam
TRY


3. Role Playing Game



Not many info yet, but already confirmed that a new videogame
(RPG) is being developed.
