Gundam Fans to Get OPPO Smartphone
Posted in: Today's ChiliFans of Gundam have a new smartphone to look forward to. According to a tweet by @UniverseIce, gadget maker OPPO has partnered with Bandai Namco, to launch “a new smartphone.” This Twitter user has had reliable mobile leaks in the past, so there is a good chance this is legit.
Right now we don’t know anything about this yet-to-be-announced phone aside from that it is coming soon, along with a couple of rendered images of the smartphone. The images certainly look cool. It looks like we can expect a Gundam-themed interface and wallpapers, while the back of the phone has an image of the mecha. Interestingly, it’s supposed to be a new smartphone model, not one we know about already.
Hopefully, we won’t have too long of a wait before we find out more about this. That design looks sweet. One thing is for sure, Gundam fans can’t wait to get this new smartphone. Sadly, we don’t have any date or availability news to report, but if we hear something more we will let you know. When it does arrive, it won’t last long as fans will snatch them up quickly.

Space Invaders, the iconic classic video game we all know and love, just got even cooler. The popular arcade vertical shooter from TAITO is going to be a board game. Let’s just hope that the gameplay lives up to the arcade version. The game is being created to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the classic 8-bit arcade game.
40 years already? That’s crazy talk. Space Invaders: The Board Game, combines today’s popular deck-building genre with a traditional strategy board game. 2-4 players will collect Space Invaders cards and add them to their hands while moving across the board and “shooting” enemies with their laser cannons. Pew, pew, pew.
Over on Kickstarter you can pre-order the standard edition for $20 to $30, or the numbered Deluxe Edition for $75. There’s also a limited edition Space Invaders diorama art box autographed by Space Invaders creator, Tomohiro Nishikado – that’s going for a whopping $990 though.
So if you want to relive the excitement of the classic arcade game in a whole new way, this is your chance. It looks damn good.
