Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
"Gundam Wing" was a greater success in North America, however, and is credited with single-handedly popularizing the "Gundam" franchise among Western audiences. Just over a week after its premiere on Cartoon Network on March 6, 2000, the series was the top rated program in all age groups. During the summer of 2000, it remained as the first or second top-rated show among kids and teens during its twelve airings per week on the Toonami block. "Gundam Wing" was ranked the 73rd best animated series by IGN, calling the series "so good that even those opposed to anime have to give the show its due credit".
Mobile Suit Z Gundam: Hot Scramble
This game was actually the very first console game based on Gundam. The very first Gundam action game was "Mobile Suit Gundam: Last Shooting" for the Japanese MSX computer which was released in 1984, predating "Hot Scramble" by two years. "Last Shooting" was based on the original "Mobile Suit Gundam" and was split between two parts: side-view levels where the player must avoid falling debris of a crumbling base, and shooting levels that feature an early cockpit view and resemble an early first-person version of "Cabal" (1988).
