Bamco has been releasing all new Gundam games on Steam but somehow they always skip VS games.
Imagine playing online against people on Steam Deck

Remote play from PS4 to your computer screen?

Bamco's investment on arcade center will forever lock this game behind arcade.
EXVS2 is already on its 4th iteration and still no port of it ever planned.

you can emulate it. don't ask me how, i thought the install was kinda sketch too.

>>23797126
Just emulate brah.

>>23803606
It’s not emulated, you just download the game and run it

>>23807684
>just download the game and run it
If you can run it in the first place.

>>23803598
didn't PS4/PS5 get ports?

>>23807764
they're several versions behind

>>23807726
If you can't then you probably aren't playing much games on your PC in the first place

>>23807764
MBON is the last version of EXVS1that only got ported to ps4 6 years ago, meanwhile EXVS2 has been imprisoned in arcade jail since 8 years ago.

The barrier thing in current version seems kinda problematic
it guess they want people to be more suicidal in late-game?

>>23808858
yup

To be fair, porting arcade games to consoles was a very strange trend during the 1990s to mid 2000s. Normally arcade games stay in the arcade to keep customers coming to the arcade and spending money.

The only reason they experimented with putting arcade games on consoles was because game companies thought people would spend money on buying the console game AND go to the arcade too. For example, practicing Street Fighter at home on console and then going to the arcade to play against friends. But this was a mistake. What ended up happening was people just bought the console version and stayed home. They stopped going to the arcade.

Also the home console versions were not as profitable as selling arcade machines. So they stopped making home arcade ports. That's why companies like Konami only release DDR for arcades. Selling a $25,000 arcade machine to businesses (like Round1, Dave and Busters, etc) is MUCH more profitable than selling a $60 dollar home console game.

I recall watching a video from Harada (Tekken director) about his experience at Bamco trying to port arcade versions of Tekken to home consoles. BN's arcade division and home console division are separate tax entities and directly sharing resources and person at no cost is illegal. Attempting to do so would require paying licensing fees, signing contracts, etc. This means the business effectively has to tax itself in order to transfer IP from one division to another. What does this mean for the game? It means most if not all of it needs to be built from the ground up.

>>23803598
I'm guessing arcade emulation through teknoparrot hasn't caught up to these newer games yet?

>>23813918
Doesn't need arcade board emulation cause the games run on windows on the cabs

>What does this mean for the game? It means most if not all of it needs to be built from the ground up.
to be fair, they already have this, GUNDAM VERSUS has no relation to the arcade version besides the fact that EXVS2 is partially built from it, they could in theory continue that with its focus on more grunt and low end MS as opposed to how EXVS's roster is

>>23814374
While it's true they could build effectively a new game out of it while maintaining the IP, that still makes it a difficult business choice in terms of product differentiation to avoid cannibalization (rather than straight up cannibalization). BN's business strategy is clear as day in every single report. They want to capitalize on their big name brands by cyclically feeding customers through from one medium to another.

Anyone know where I can I find a good guide for playing the in Japan? I'm going there soon and I'm wondering how do you get a card etc.

>>23814578
Don't need a card to play but if you want a card, you'll need a japanese phone number to register it I believe.

didn't the devs said that they think PC is shit? i think said this when a non gundam game made by them tanked on Steam

>>23813850
This is because Bandai is a very stingy company and does everything single thing it can to avoid paying taxes. Even if that means making it much harder for employees to do their job. You need to understand Japanese business culture. They have a death grip on money, and are very conservative. They are unwilling to take any risks either.

So innovation doesn't happen in Japan. It's why they never created their own version of Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, etc. All those companies required risky investment to create them.

>>23803598
EXVS 2 will not get an official home port until EXVS 3 or whatever they call the next game is released, mark my words.

The reason? Money. Sure there's a lot of red tape and complexities with porting a licensed media game to the home market, but that can be taken care of with time. The real reason is always money. Not only does an arcade operator have to make the investment of four cabs + a satellite terminal just to get the game in their arcade, but Bamco also takes huge royalties out of every yen those cabs bring in. They don't want to risk the possibility of a home release cutting that profit down even by 1%

>Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, etc. All those companies required risky investment to create them
All of them were funded by tax dollars from inQtel (CIA). There was never any risk involved.

For getting a Banapass, any of the big arcade chains in Japan will have a vending machine where you can buy them, they cost about $5. A Nesica (Taito), E-Amusement (Konami) or Aime (Sega) card will also work so long as it has the little Amusement IC logo on the card. (In pic related, it's the icon on the bottom left). You can also use these AIC cards on games from those other companies.

A card isn't necessary to play, but it's used to save your records and progression. There's unlocks and online rankings and whatnot. A lot of arcade games over there have em nowadays. You can also register your Banapass online so if you lose it later, you can transfer all of your data to a new card.

>>23814723
No you don't

>>23818240

>>23818248
So the Nesica, E-Amusement, Aime and Banapass are interchangeable?

>>23818723
So long as they have the Amusement IC logo they'll work on any game that supports Amusement IC (The card scanner will also have the logo). But do note that there are non-amusement IC cards still in circulation (or at least there were when I visited a few years ago). For example the blue Nesica cards are not compatible with Amusement IC, but the red Nesica cards are.

Serious question, but how do I get good at Maxiboost bros? Besides just playing a lot. I only want to be able to kick ass with my waifu. I am absolutely terrible and have no experince at these kinds of games though. It feels really clunky to me.

Ib got ripped on pc but its a discord fighter, and its a few patches behind
