Japanese Gundam Versus players are getting AGE-2 Gundam and Mudrock Gundam on December 5th

Continuing its schedule of post-launch content for the arena brawler, Bandai Namco have announced two more Mobile Suits that will be joining the already-extensive Gundam Versus roster. AGE-2 Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam Age and Mudrock Gundam from Zeonic Front: Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 will be launching in Japan on December 5th, costing 602 yen.

While it’s great to see Bandai Namco supporting Gundam Versus post-launch, my heart still longs for Tequila Gundam and Nether Gundam to finally be playable. The publisher have also released some new trailers showing off Atlas Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt and Zeydra from Mobile Suit Gundam Age. These two Mobile Suits will be released on November 21st in Japan — no news on a Western release date just yet.

The DreamHack Smash Championship returns for DreamHack Winter 2017

Back for another year of top-flight Super Smash Bros. Melee competition, DreamHack have opened registration for DreamHack Winter’s Smash Championship. Acting as the perfect stage for Europe’s top Melee players to show off their skills, this year’s event sports a $10,000 prize pot and events for both singles and doubles.

Singles will run round robin pools, with the top two from each pool making it through to Top 64, while the doubles tournament will be a straight double-elimination bracket. If you are interested in competing, you’ll need to buy a DreamHack Winter event pass, which will give you access to the whole event along with the Melee tournament. The event runs from December 2nd-3rd, so you only need to buy a Saturday and Sunday ticket should you not be interested in arriving on the Friday.

So far, Armada, Leffen and Android have signed up to defend the Swedish homeland, while US Sheik player Swedish Delight has also registered — obviously trying to blend in. For more information about both DreamHack Winter and the DreamHack Smash Championship, check out the official smash.gg page.
