English Dub?

[185th_Vagrant]

Is there going to be a english dub for the story line?

[Willem]

No.

[185th_Vagrant]

Damn

[185th_Vagrant]

It would be nice if they had the original gundam EN dub from 00 to be the introducer

You can watched the dubbed version on Gundaminfo on YouTube for all the series listed in this game.

[185th_Vagrant]

I watch the dubbed version on Watchonline cartoons

[legojoe]

yeah but Gundaminfo is the official channel on YouTube. Might as well watch it there on HD and dubbed and support the channel.

Good point

I think the last time we got a dubbed Gundam game was Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3. Unfortunately Gundam just does not do well enough to justify the cost of getting english dubs for the games.

That’s correct, although half the cast in the English dub for DWG3 weren’t even the original VA’s. It’s not even that an English dub wouldn’t be possible financially. BN just did a terrible job marketing the games in the past.

Now that they’ve opened up to a new market on PC, however, it’s always possible they might consider a dub again. It just depends on how much money they make off Cross Rays. I’d only really like a dub if they could secure the original VA’s though, which doesn’t seem likely.

That's why I bought CrossRays. I really love the DW games (own all 4).. really want another.

i could only find Unicorn, IBO, SD Gundam and Gundam Build Fighters with English Dubs on that channel.00 had Subs only.

Everything else was private, like G Gundam, Gundam Wing, all of the SEED and AGES stuff.

IBO was only Season 2 as well. No Season 1.

[Gouf]

no please no

Hulu has 00 in Dub/Sub
Wing Dub/Sub
IBO S1&S2 in Dub/Sub
Seed in Sub
Unicorn Dub/Sub until E7
08th MS Team Dub/Sub

Kinda wish they had G Gundam since that was the first one I watched..

English Dub is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad, how you can like it?

[Sayla Massochist]

Bandai have done English dubs before for other games, specifically to mind is the Dynasty Warrior Gundam games. They even got someone to go in and do like 3 lines for characters from Double Zeta, Victory, Turn A, etc.

Most likely the reason why they didn't include it is simply money. You'd have to pay all those English VA (or at least the holder of the dub rights) for the use of lines from the dub performance. You'd also have to pull in certain VA to record entirely new lines for the game, or hire completely different actors to do them like they did for Dynasty Warriors Gundam. All in all it makes far more sense from a business perspective in a low budget game like SD Gundam not to include an English Dub considering VA is a very minor part of the game.
