A series of hybrid Action/Fighting Games based upon the wildly popular Gundam Anime franchise, developed first by Capcom, then by Namco after it merged with Bandai. In a roundabout way, the series could be considered a Spin-Off of the Capcom vs. Whatever series. Each game in the series follows the same basic format: The player chooses a Mobile Suit and a pilot, then engages in a series of third-person battles with the opposing forces. Both sides have a resource meter, representing their ability to wage war; to win, one must destroy enough enemy machines to deplete the enemy's resources, with the machines' value being determined by their overall power.
