MACROSS FRONTIER DOWNLOAD PACK FOR PSP VERSION OF MAPLUS 3

Announced a few minutes ago, Maplus, a navigation package for the PSP (uses seperately sold transmitter peripheral)will be offering a SHERRYL PACK and RANKA PACK as downloadable content.

What this means, basically, is that either Sherryl or Ranka can be selected to provide the vocal prompts as you are driving/walking, and your car on the map will be a VF-25 (which can be transformed).

What a... bizarre little promotion ^^;

The website is not up yet but will eventually be accessible here:

A similar promotion was done for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex:

Sankyo has announced a Pachislot version of the Macross Pachinko game.

For those who are not familiar with these games, pachinko uses small metal balls, while pachislot is a 3 reel slot machine (there are some exceptions like the Resident Evil pachislot game which had 4 reels, but as a general rule, 3 reels is the standard)slot game where players hit a button to stop each of the 3 reels.

Gone are the joystick, air vents and transformable Valkyrie. Added instead are mechanical doors which open to reveal either a monitor or a valkyrie head. New features include 'Valkyrie Time', 'Kyun Kyun Mode' and 'Super Dimensional Mode.' A movie introducing the new game can be found here:

Pachislot Macross

I'm surprised that this is coming out since the Pachinko game was such an unmitigated disaster for Sankyo due to bad game math. I suppose they want to get the most out of the license while they can. Too bad they arent sponsoring any concerts this time though.

BTW, the Maplus link above is now working and further information is included in the latest Macross Ace.

TRAILER FOR MOVIE 2 IS UP!!!

[frothymug]

"We're sorry, our current service is not available in your country"?? What a tease...

[Marzan]

"We're sorry, our current service is not available in your country"?? What a tease...

yeah, getting the same thing that you are here in Europe.

Does HG's grip on the "Macross" name also extend to trailers???

Anyway, let's hope the trailer get's posted somewhere else soon.

[azrael]

Bandai Channel only allows Japanese ISPs to access their site content (videos mainly). It has nothing to do with HG's "deathgrip". Be patient my padawans.

[Tochiro]

Thanks goes out to Gubaba for finding a version that is viewable for you geographically challenged peoplz.

It's the same for a lot of non-Japan based I-net streaming services, too. There's one that a lot of MW keep mentioning, that is inaccessible outside of the USA.

Seems like the Tornado pack becomes all the rage in the second movie.

We get a quick flash of the VF-25G and VF-25S with their own.

I love the new animation they did for the Minmay concerts and the Macross. Nicely polished without moving very far from the original animation style...

I so badly want the bottom glass from that pachislot game !!! That lit up relief sculpt of the Valkyrie with lights, OH MAN I'd love to frame it and hang it on my wall...

Everytime I see these pachinko machiens, I weep that we don't have a fully re-aniamted series. The only good reason I can see not doing one, is waiting for Mikimoto to finish Macross The First.

I'd wait for that!

I am really enjoying Mikimoto's version of SW1...

I am no anime expert really, so forgive the question, but are there precedents that make the entire re-animation hope more tangible?

Tekkaman The Space Night - Tekkaman Blade

Fullmetal Alchemist - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki - Tenchi Muyo TV, Shin Tenchi, Pretty Sammy

Record of Lodoss War OVA - Record of Lodoss War TV (bleh!)

Bubblegum Crisis / Bubblegum Crisis 2040

Tetsujin 28 (several times)

Mach Go Go Go (several times)

And many many others. So yeah, it's been done, and in this case, would be a highly profitable venture for all involved, especially the fans.

The 2011 Frontier Calendar is out if anyone is interested.

Got mine via Amazon. One of the months has a cute pic of Sherryl's reaction to the bill she gets from the S.M.S after the events in the first movie.

Made me chuckle :-)
