Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. (機動戦士ガンダム エクストリームバーサス) is a 3D arcade fighting game and the newest in the series of Gundam VS video game series developed and published by Namco Bandai Games. Extreme Vs. is the sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Gundam NEXT. The game was first unveiled at the AOU 2010 and released on September 28, 2010. The game was later released on the PlayStation 3 on December 1, 2011, featuring balance tweaks.

The game's theme song is titled "The Catalyst", performed by Linkin Park. Bandai and the band also cooperated in the development of a special limited edition HGUC 1/144 RX-78GP01-Fb Gundam Zephyranthes Full Vernian model kit molded in colors and including detail stickers inspired by the cover art for A Thousand Suns.

A sequel, Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. Full Boost (error: {{nihongo}}: Japanese or romaji text required (help)), was released in arcades on April 5, 2012. The base version includes 74 mobile suits and new ones are added every month via net updates. The theme song for Full Boost is titled "Fight It Out (Pay Money to my Pain)" (feat. K), performed by both Akihiro Namba of Hi-Standard and Takeshi Ueda of AA=.

Another sequel, Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost (機動戦士ガンダム エクストリームバーサス マキシブースト), was released in arcades on March 6, 2014. The game introduced both new suits and characters as well as new game mechanics such as a revamped EX Mode and changes to forms for certain units. The theme song for Maxi Boost is titled "Rave-up Tonight", performed by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas.

An upgrade sequel, Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost ON (機動戦士ガンダム エクストリームバーサス マキシブースト ON), was released in arcades on March 9, 2016. The game introduced both newer suits and characters and much more than the prequel. The theme song for Maxi Boost ON is titled "No Future", performed by SiM.

Gameplay

Extreme Vs. retains the trademark gameplay of previous installments of the Gundam Vs. series, with a few adjustments and changes. During a standard arcade battle, each team is given a resource meter of 6000 points; when a mobile suit is shot down, its cost is deducted from the meter, and the first team to hit 0 loses. Each mobile suit costs 3000, 2500, 2000, or 1000 points, with higher cost machines being more powerful while cheaper machines are much weaker. A few missions, particularly boss battles, eschew this in favor of making a single machine the target and having its defeat be the goal of the stage (the player's side still has a resource meter and will lose as normal if it's depleted).

Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme VS Maxi Boost has major changes since it's update from Full Boost, the previous version; all 1000 points units are up 500 each, so it's 1500 points in total. The 1000-cost mobile units' HP, and other ammos are now up since it's added by 500 points, so the weapons are also up and they're now par with 2000 cost mobile suits in terms of skill speed (e.g. Gundam 00 Colasour GNX-III's [Note: Normal/Powered] cost 1000 -> 1500, HP 330 -> 480, main ammo [A] 40/60 -> 60/90, sub [ab] 3/6 -> 6/9, and enough mobility). The other mobile suits, 2000, 2500 and 3000 costs are now HP up by 20-40, 40-100, and 40-100 respectively. Some mobile suits such as 00 Raiser, have some adjustments, with the 00 Raiser's (as example) main ammo (A) is 5 ammo, compared with 6 ammo from Full Boost, and now at 40% HP (300), it becomes permanent equip with Raiser; his HP 680 -> 750 also.

Gameplay makes use of four primary buttons: Shoot, Melee, Jump, and Search. There are also three sub-commands used by pressing Shoot and Melee (Sub-Weapon), Shoot and Jump (Special Shooting) and Melee and Jump (Special Melee). In addition to these, machines can have two different charge attacks, activated by holding the Shoot or Melee button until a meter on the ammunition display fills.

Extreme Vs. adds in two important gameplay changes. Extreme Action is the ability to dash-cancel one's attacks, allowing the player to string together larger and more damaging combos. Extreme Burst is a super mode, similar to older games' Awakenings, activated by pressing Shoot, Melee, and Jump together when a meter at the bottom of the screen is filled. Several machines (primarily those piloted by the protagonists of each series) also have a super-powerful Burst Attack, executed by pressing Shoot, Melee, and Jump together while Extreme Burst is active. Full Boost will give Burst Attacks to every mobile suit in the game.

The PlayStation 3 release adds Trial Mission Mode, which features a series of specific challenges that go outside the normal conditions of the game, such as destroying a set number of machines within a time limit or sinking a battleship such as the Argama or Archangel. Trial Mission Mode features a number of enemy-exclusive mobile suits from all the included series, as well as a number of new boss characters.
