Introduction

Shin Kidou Senshi Gundam W: Endless Duel (新機動戦記ガンダムＷ Ｅｎｄｌｅｓｓ Ｄｕｅｌ) aka Gundam Wing: Endless Duel is a Japan-exclusive 2D fighting game released in 1996. It was the first video game to be based on the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing anime series. GWED uses the same engine as another Natsume game, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Fighting Edition.

Gameplay

Endless Duel is notable for its movement options: By using the suit's thrusters, players are able to forward dash, back dash, forward dash with blocking, super jump from the ground, hover by holding down, and boost up to twice in the air allowing for double jumps, triple jumps, cross overs, and many other movement options. Mobile Suits (minus Epyon) also have a Vulcan mechanic where at longer ranges you can expend ammo from the energy meter to get generic fireballs, which can then be special or super canceled.
