Note 1 – As Far as I know, I am the only one in the Uk to own one. If there is anyone else who does please contact me!
Note 2 – As I’m learning how to read Japanese I’m adding in the Kanji were I can.
Note 3 – This is very Wip and hopefully can be updated with corrections.
The latest Gundam franchise is Gundam AGE and its based around the device above, the AGE device.
In the series its the start up key for the Gundam and also holds the plans for the Gundam AGE Device @ Gundam Wiki. in real life it contains Different sound effects from the tv series and 7 Games, it also connects to a Gageing Haro or battle console.

Instructions – 1 とりあつかいせつぬいしよほれしよ
AGE Device – 1, Powered by 3 X LR44 button batteries (included with)

Game (1) – Koroniiomamore コロニーを守れ (Defend the colony)
Game (2) – Hatsushinseyo,Gasodamu 発進せよ,ガソダム (starting case, Gundam)
Game (3) – Mozerusuutsu – Fuyakutorii モゼルスーツ.フヤクトリー (Suit Model Factory)

Links
Game (2) – 発進せよ,ガソダム (starting case, Gundam)
This is (for want of a better description) a tower build game. At the beginning of the game your set a time limit, you have to press the middle button 中 rapidly to build the 4 towers, if you complete the screen you will be given another time limit. If you complete all 4 rounds you will be issued EXP points.
Game (3) – Mozerusuutsu – Fuyakutorii モゼルスーツ.フヤクトリー (Suit Model Factory)
Again this is a timed game, the object is to collect crates to earn score points, I assume that at the end the EXP points will be worked out by how many score points to earn.
Game (4) UE Kekitaisakusen 撃作作戦 (UE Hammering operation.)
The UE are flying across the top of the screen while you fly across the bottom. Use left and right buttons to move and middle button to fire.
Game (5)
This is a timed game and you fly around finding and destroying UE’s in the area.
Use left and right to fly around, when a UE appears a star shape appears and press the middle button to shot it. If your successful it will explode and you get a score point. They time you get to shot the UE decreases as the game progresses.
Game (6) – 才能 のめざめ (Awakening of Talent)
Game 6 is a sequence memory game. A sequence of patterns will flash up and using all three buttons you have to match the sequence. For each correct pattern in a sequence you gain a score point and the game ends when you get one sequence wrong. If you get the patterns right but don’t finish the round, you get one EXP point, If you complete the round you gain 2 EXP points.
Game (7)
4 box’s appear on screen and one will have an object in it, Each game the box’s will shuffle and you will need to follow and find the full crate. An EXP point is earned for each correct crate. This game last only 1 round.
よびだし&スペツヤルゲーム (Emergency game mode)
At certain times of the day the AGE device will set off an alarm, if you press the buttons it will trigger one of the seven games.I’m not sure if the selection is random but it all ways seams to be the last game I played.
Battle – バトル
If you have a Gage-ing Haro ゲイジング ハロ or access to one of the arcade machines, use this mode to allow the AGE device to communicate.

Hi My GAGE-ING Device should arrive soon. I live in the UK too. Glad to know there is someone who likes Gundam around. 😀
Btw do email me for updates etc and Gundam discussions. 😀 Massive fan of Gundam haha. Although my parents think I should spend more time studying than watching Gundam. LOL
I’m not sure if you have to “follow” or “Subscribe” but one of them auto updates.
I got mine with AG Age 1, but after found out you need the Haro to scan them in.
Anyway hopefully will update in a few weeks once my Gaging Haro and 3 other AG’s arrive.
Thanks for showing an interest.
No problem, glad to have someone who likes the new Gundam series and merchandise haha. I have ordered my 1/100 Gage-ing Builder AGE-1 for about £28. Do you reckon thats a reasonable price?? I want to get AGE-2 and AGE-3 also but not sure whether to get Haro cause it is very expensive and doest do a lot. Once you have got your Haro can you like do a short review on it please?? Many Thanks. 😀
I don’t know much about the 1/100 builder series as I’m only collecting the 1/144 AG series.
I will write a similure artical on the Haro that I did with the AGE device.
Late to the comments, but I too live in the UK, and I got an Age device when it came out a while ago. Couldn’t figure out some of the games, so this helped 😀
I glad to hear, I’m still struggling with some of the translations but had to pack it away for a way (3 months to get 8 modules in my Japanese test done)
Did you ever finish translating this? Or better yet, the manual that comes with it? I just got an AGE device myself, and I’m trying to figure it out.
Unfortunately not, I don’t have much time to waist on it since getting harro to go with it.
MInd you, another reason I haven’t spent much time on it in ages is due to lack of skill in playing the games!
It’s funny, the Haro actually comes with full English instructions as well as the Japanes!
Really? That’s good news! I just ordered a Haro for myself last week. 🙂
Well, mine at least did. Of the AG series (central gundams, I still have AG2 double bullet and AG3 Orbit to get but alas Mony for GD’s has run out and may have to put them all up for sale 😦
Sorry to hear that. I’ve only got a few AGs myself.
