Doctors have confirmed it: It’s physically impossible for me to turn my nose up at a mecha action game. But despite this dire prognosis, I’ve been suspicious of Gundam Rogue Orbit—Bandai Namco’s mobile suit action game coming in spring—since it was announced back in June.

Kazutoki Kono: You’re welcome. Back in June, I asked the Ace Combat brand director, who’s been working on the series since 1997’s Ace Combat 2, if he’d ever gotten to strap into an F-16 and experience the real thrills of doing barrel rolls at 30,000 feet. “Unfortunately over the last 30 years of my career…

They’re commonly viewed as low effort, vacuous, beneath the notice or caring of real gamers—a sort of proto-slop, in many ways, that predates the rise of AI. They’re games your mom plays. Ewwww.
