After they previously launched in Japan, SD Gundam G Generation Genesis and SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays Platinum Edition are now about to debut in Asia. These releases are actually noteworthy for fans in the west. Although Bandai Namco is unlikely to offer the two titles in North America or Europe, the new Asian versions will have full English support.

Play-Asia has now opened pre-orders. You can reserve both games here.

SD Gundam G Generation Genesis and SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays Platinum Edition are due out for Switch in Asia on March 25.
