When you open a menu item for the first time, a brief text tutorial tells you what you are dealing with, helping newcomers get accustomed to the complex mechanics these series is famed for. The player must deploy, move and attack enemy units before passing the phase and letting the AI opponent do (very competently so) the same. Once you start your campaign, Advance Wars and Fire Emblem veterans will feel right at home – there's your familiar overhead map with two-dimensional sprites representing units from both sides. We assure that if you are familiar with the original series on which these campaigns are based, you will often find yourself among familiar protagonists – piloting their iconic Mobile Suits, of course – thrown into conflicts from their respective shows. Future DLC aside, there are thirteen of these on offer, with each branching into several different missions that follow their source material in quite extensive detail.

Immediately after the CGI intro movie is done, SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays lets you freely pick story-driven campaigns from four major series: Wing, SEED, 00 and the most recent Iron-Blooded Orphans. Due to lack of region locking, Switch Gundam fans could import the game and play it at their heart's content, with one major caveat – there was no English language text support for the Switch version, a massive sin considering that, despite never officially releasing in the west, previous Sony versions of that game came out-of-the-box with complete English text localization.

That honour belongs to SD Gundam G Generation Genesis, an older entry that saw a re-release on the Switch back in April 2018.

This new entry into the series is one of the later genres, but not the first of the series to be released on Nintendo’s world-conquering hybrid system. The SD series kept reinventing the franchise by adopting several established genres from platforming, shmup, JRPG and Strategy RPG. It's one of the oldest and most enduring franchises among the entire Gundam series, itself based on an extremely popular line of Capsule Toys that offer hundreds of your favourite Gundam series Mobile Suits presented in 'Super-Deformed' proportions – that means huge heads, tiny bodies, and fully adorable. There have been Gundam games since the days of the Famicom, but the SD Gundam series has always stood apart as being particularly niche. Overnight, Gundam became a part of mainstream western anime culture, achieving a tiny, tiny fraction of the fame it has enjoyed in its homeland since the late '70s (it's no understatement to say that Gundam is Japan's Star Wars). You'll also be aware that hope was not lost and eventually, several Gundam shows ended up being aired in the West, beginning with Cartoon Network’s Toonami premiere of the 'After Colony' timeline series Gundam Wing, which served as an introduction to the whole Gundam universe for many non-Japanese fans. You knew they had zero chance of official localization due to the costs involved and lack of audience in the west, but you somehow stuck with it and continue to be a fan of the series, even today. You probably got hooked into mecha anime and spent your youth glaring at import gaming magazines, making lists of Gundam games you would either never play, or end up doing so decades after their original release after some brave fans translated them.

It takes a certain type of western gamer to be a Mobile Suit Gundam fan.
