One third-party title released in 2012 exclusively for the PlayStation Vita in Japanese markets was Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Battle Destiny, a collaborative effort between Artdink and Bandai Namco based on the Gundam IP. A quick history lesson for the uninitiated – Mobile Suit Gundam, Kido Senshi Gundam in Japan, was a television anime series that aired between 1979 and 1980 on Japanese TV, followed by a string of re-edited anime films released theatrically in the early 1980s. The premise of the original series set in the future year 0079 was about a young man named Amuro Ray, who is a mechanic tasked with piloting the first giant robot fighting suit, dubbed RX-78-2 Gundam, for its creators, the Earth Federation against the principality that said federation is in war with, Zeon. Mobile Suit Gundam: Seed is the ninth TV anime series of the franchise, released in the early 2000s, followed closely by Mobile Suit Gundam: Seed Destiny in 2004 and a sequel film released in theatres as recently as 2024. The plot of SEED also focuses on split factions, this time within mankind itself, set in yet another future year, humanity has become two species: Naturals, your normal everyday human, and Coordinators, genetically enhanced human beings who have left earth and formed its own colonies due to fear of prosecution from Naturals. This in-fighting only escalates when a third faction, called Plants and their militia Zaft, get involved in the war.
