News: Namco Bandai plans to bring this anime-inspired mech game to America.

Anime fans should be very grateful for the merger of Namco and Bandai. Before the merger, Bandai was a bit more selective when it came to bringing some of their anime-inspired titles to America. But now, the floodgates have been opened and more titles are being announced all the time.

One of those titles is the mecha game Eureka Seven Volume 1: The New Wave for the PS2. The game will be a prequel to the anime series and should ship this fall.

For those that don't know what Eureka Seven is all about, Namco Bandai has provided us with this:
Featuring transformable mechas called LFO (Light Finding Operation), "Eureka Seven Vol. 1: The New Wave" introduces Sumner Sturgeon, a budding LFO pilot trainee on a lush, futuristic planet whose primary energy source are "trapars" - invisible energy particles that provides lift for aerial travel. An aspiring elite military officer, Sumner can transform his LFO into its humanoid form to surf the skies on a ref board or remain in vehicle mode to participate in exhilarating high-speed chases. "Eureka Seven Vol. 1: The New Wave" offers a variety of gameplay modes as the gamer can switch from playing the character and controlling the LFO mechas in real time. With customizable mechas, this upcoming title guarantees an intriguing storyline and exciting combat in an unforgettable sci-fi world.
