We understand that though most of our readers aren't familiar with the Front Mission series, there are still a number of you who, like us, have a deep-seated need to command giant, customizable mechs on an SRPG battlefield. Pocket Gamer has a preview of Front Mission DS that will get you up to speed on the Square Enix remake, outlining the various phases of combat from start to finish.Their hands-on impressions also shed some light on the game's campaign details, touchscreen controls, and wanzer customization. It's disappointing to hear that the head-to-head multiplayer mode will be limited to local wireless matches only, but given Square Enix's online support shenanigans so far, we're not surprised. Front Mission DS arrives in North American stores this October 23rd. Plan your budget accordingly.

I bought FM at Play-Asia, thanks to your timely notice on the special pricing when it first came out. Unfortunately, it ate up a lot of my time - it's that addictive.
What befuddles me is that, while some writers in this blog is fond of giant robot games, you haven't mentioned about Sandlot's "Chou-soujuu Mecha MG" (Which translates to "Super-Pilot Mech MG"). It's truly a great but underrated mech game, which has a control scheme that is perfect for DS.
