If you live and breathe Gundam Wing, then Gundam Breaker 4 is going to make all of your dreams come true.

Announced at the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase today, Gundam Breaker 4 is essentially a customisation wonderland, with players building mecha warriors called Gunpla from over 250 base kits.

Once you’ve built your epic Gunpla fighter, you can head out and put it into action by battling other Gunpla in combat missions, collecting more parts to upgrade as you go along.

And obviously, any game where you put so much effort into making an incredible machine has to have a photo mode, right? Snap epic pics of your Gunpla in action and share them with the world.

Honestly, this game looks like it will take up so much of my time; I love character creation, and with so many parts and abilities available to choose from, creating the perfect Gunpla is going to take some serious heavy-duty thinking!

There’s a strong chance that Gundam Breaker 4 will be joining our list of the best Gundam games when it releases, but stick with us for more news as and when we get it once the game releases this year!
