Makes sense! Yesterday, we posted that DoCoMo was releasing Wii-like motion sensor cell phones. And today, we've got word that the first game for it will be *surprise* a Gundam game. Wow, just wow.

For ¥105 a month (US 88¢), players are, well, Gundam as they battle their way through various scenarios. When they encounter enemies, players must slash their phone "vigorously" like a weapon. The phone's camera works out real world angles and velocities, deciding whether or not the in-game robot has been killed. And the title of this wonder? You are Gundam. Go figure. Brian Ashcraft
