Those who purchased the Premium G Sound Edition of "Gundam Versus" in Japan should have received this DLC for free during the release of the game last July 6.
The second DLC released for "Gundam Versus" is Gundam Virtue, the third-generation heavy assault Gundam that ruled "Mobile Suit Gundam 00." The armaments gamers could play around with are GN Bazooka, Beam Sabers and Cannon.
Both the DLCs will be offered as a preorder bonus when "Gundam Versus" is released in the west. Gamers would want to take advantage of that since the DLCs are priced 650 yen each or $6.
Although the Mobile Suit Gundam Barbatos Lupus and Gundam Virtue have just been made available, Bandai Namco Entertainment already has a couple more extra content lined up for gamers.
Coming Aug. 10 to "Gundam Versus" is the G-Self Perfect Pack, which was showcased in the anime, "Gundam Reconguista in G." It has an amazing set of armor and weapons including a Head Vulcan, Beam Saber, Beam Rifle, Photon Armor Shield, Traffic Fin, Photon Torpedo, Tractor Beam and an Omnidirectional Laser.
Two more "Gundam Versus" DLCs should arrive by Aug. 24. These are the Pale Rider and Baund Doc. The latter has a Scattering Mega Particle Gun, Beam Saber and Rifle.
The former is a bit more bulky with a whole host of weapons like the Vulcan Gun, Beam Saber, Hand Beam Gun, three powerful types of machine guns, Hyper Beam Rifle and Hyper Bazooka among many others.
