Last month, Tochiro reported that Namco Bandai released downloadable VF-1 skins for Ace Combat™ Assault Horizon in Japan. Initially, we believed that USA gamers would not be able to download these skins. However, thanks to Macross_Fanboy, we’ve learned that it is indeed possible for USA gamers to download these skins onto their own Xbox 360™. These skins include Hikaru Ichijo’s VF-1J color scheme and Roy Focker’s VF-1S color scheme. Best of all, with these templates, you can use Ace Combat™ AH’s built-in color editor to create Max & Milia VF-1J’s, as well as Hikaru, Max, and Kakizaki color schemes from DYRL. In a nutshell, you can take the entire Skull Squadron for a spin during online multiplayer in this game!
But, there are some hoops that USA gamers will need to jump through in order to get these skins. For a tutorial that I wrote that’ll allow USA Xbox 360™ owners to download these skins, click on the jump. Please excuse my crappy photos.
