Anyone here about the new Gundam game?

Depends which you're talking about? Bandai's been releasing a couple of both sides of the Pacific...

So far on the US side we have coming down the pipeline:
-Mobile Suit Gundam vs Zeta Gundam
and
-Gundam SEED: Towards Neverending Tomorrow

To say nothing of several titles that have either recently been released or are coming up over in Japan:
-Earth Alliance vs ZAFT (same formula as Fed vs Zeon & AEUG vs Titans, except now they're hoping to tap some of that AU yen)
-One Year War 0079 (alias Project Pegasus. Bandai went out big on this, even turning out a new Master Grade to promote the game)
-SD Gundam G Generation DS (coming soon)
and
-Gundam: True Odyssey (Gundam's first official RPG)

Quite a line-up to look forward to, providing they break the stereotype of notoriously crappy gameplay. True Odyssey sounds interesting. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this will be the first time a new Gundam universe will be created specifically for a game.

Technically yes. Unless one counts the crossover universes of the G Generation line as new universes.

That said, this is kind of hard to guage just yet since, while it's a new universe, they appear to be using tech from other Gundam universes (i.e. it's possible to customize with parts from units like the Zaku I and Wing Zero Custom)
