Retro Gaming

Nice! I never played the Breakers on Vita, just PS3 for the first two, PS4 for the third, and PC for GB4. I did play Gundam Seed Battle Destiny (good, but not as good as Gundam Battle Universe on the PSP) and Gundam Extreme Vs Force, which I seem to recall reviewing poorly but I loved it for the solid single player campaign.

I did, but I've been a fan of Musou games since Dynasty Warriors 3 on the PS2. There are better Musou games than the Gundam ones, and for Gundam hack-n-slash games the Breakers games are better, but if you like Musou games and Gundam then they're still fun.

If you have a Switch, I really loved Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and Fire Emblem Warriors: The Three Hopes.  For a more classical mixup vs Lu Bu Dynasty Warriors 8 is good (9 was TERRIBLE).  I haven't played Origins yet.  Samurai Warriors 4 is good if you like Sengoku history, and if you're a fan of Dragon Quest both of the Dragon Quest Warriors games were good.  For Gundam specifically it's Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn, but in the US it was only released as a digital PS3 game.  I never got into the Orochi games or the One Piece ones.

Berserk Musou was a fun romp - highly recommended for fans of the manga.

It doesn't get more retro than this, I ran into it at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas - Computer Space, the first coin-op arcade video game:

Unfortunately, it was out of order, so I couldn't play a piece of video game history.
