Bandai Namco opened a virtual reality-focused area in Tokyo Plaza back in April, with plans to run the VR Zone: Project i Can space through October. Things are getting ready to heat up in the VR Zone with the addition of a Mobile Suit Gundam virtual reality experience, which will be available to try out from August 26 through October 10.

Here's a promo:

As you might be able to tell in that frankly amazing clip, participants won't be piloting the life-size Gundam as it battles an enemy mobile suit, but they will be clinging for their dear lives to its hand. The shock and awe of Gundam VR: Daiba Assault lasts for about eight minutes, and will run folks ¥1,000 (about $10).
