My jaw dropped a couple of times while watching the latest direct fro XCX. I was looking forward to it, but I didn't know they would go all out like this. Frankly, I didn't think a game on the Wii U would be able to handle something like this. Yet here it is, in all its glory. Customizable mechs of all shapes sizes and varieties. You can ride them, you can fly them, you can deck them out with a ton of firepower. Oh and what's this? You can have a whole squad rolling in mechs right along side you? Yes please.
There's also an online aspect where you can form a squad of 32 people (GB squad anyone?). It's a network across which you can interact in various ways. You can team up with 3 others to tackle online quests. You can complete communal monster hunting quests. You can also send out messages with tips in them to the rest of your squad and gift any loot you don't need to others in the team. This game has a bazillion features.
Here's a subbed version of the direct. I skipped to where the mech action starts. Online features start at the 22:14 mark.
