    See title. Why? Most of the gundam games on PC that I played mainly comes from mod, like Gundam Century on Starcraft or Gundam mods on Homeworld...

    because gundams are a japanese thing, gundam games most likely exist, i can bet my life on that. But they are all japanese, unless someone kick starters it we wont see any gundam game appearing anytime soon as nobody would make a game or translate a game if they arent sure it would make them money.

    there is no way to make a "Good" gundam game anyway......the game would need to be a KSP type for "Build your own gundam" o a Valkyria Chronicals one to be a "Strategy figthing gundams" i guess...?

    also (And the most important reason) the franchise doesn't need the extra money since they are filthy rich.....so why risk it?

    There is actually a Gundam games like that, Gundam breaker series. This is the best gundam game ever in my opinion. Shame there was never Online PVP mode though.
    My "strap a lot of guns on gundam" built is invincible.

    Honestly, the Mecha genre in games is lacking. Even then, Gundam isn't that great. While it has the storyline and notable Gundams and Mobile suits, that's all. The Gundam games I've seen have been in dynasty warrior format, RPG format, and fighter format, and all of them were pretty meh. Then again, after playing the Armored Core series, virtually all games get compared to them. I would love to see a Gundam game adopt a more Armored Core style with in-depth customization, but I won't hold my breath because Gundam isn't THAT popular in the west.

    Edit: Btw, favorite mecha games are Zone of the Enders series and Armored Core series.

    And why does there's no Armored Core series on PC? Even Dark Souls is on PC nowadays...

    Armored core hasn't come out with a game that recently. Most recent game was 2013 I think? And I think the game wasn't THAT popular to warrant PC release, although it would have made customizing (and modding) so much better.
