While Japan is known for its manga and anime, there are probably a few that can be truly considered classics. For example there is the Dragon Ball series, then we also have Naruto, then we also Doraemon, Slam Dunk, and so on. Gundam is also one of the series that can be considered a classic and a fan favorite.
In fact over in Japan there’s actually a Gundam statue, but in case that wasn’t enough for you guys out there, for a short period of time in August and until early October, you will be able to experience what it might be like to live in the Gundam world through the magic of virtual reality technology.
The experience will be held at the VR Zone: Project i Can VR center in Tokyo where those who are interested can pay 1,000 yen for the 8 minute long “ride”. Dubbed Gundam VR: Daiba Assault, unfortunately it does not put players into the mobile suit itself, but rather it lets them experience a battle between the Life-Size Gundam and an enemy Mobile Suit.
The players will then be able to experience the shocks and tremors that are the result of the battle. However like we said, it won’t be a mainstay experience as it will run from the 26th of August up to the 10th of October, so if you are interested in checking it out, maybe now might be a good time to book a holiday to Japan.
