Whilst the PlayStation 3 is the Scottish play of games consoles around these parts, several places have been showing off newer screenshots of Gundam Musou. The interesting point about these is that they feature other mobile suits (rather than the ubiquitous Gundams shown in other shots), more specifically that of The O, piloted by Paptimus Scirocco, and the Hyakushiki, piloted by Quattro...you know, I'm not gonna say that.

So why do other types of mecha matter in Gundam Musou? Well, from a gameplay point of view it means you'll have access to different attacks and abilities. For instance, The O has beam sabers hidden under its skirt armor. This, in gameplay terms, is akin to thrashing enemies with several giant mecha wangs comprised of superheated plasma. Considering that the game boasts up to a 1000 enemies on screen, that translates into an awful lot of wang usage.

Ollie Update: According to Famitsu the God Gundam, Wing Gundam Zero, and Turn A Gundam will be playable in Gundam Musou. This be interesting due to the previous UC timeline focus that was reported (despite the fact that the Wing Zero has fucking feathers).
