I am sure its only a matter of time before some Wing suits show up in Evolution.
Wing is actually popular both outside of Japan and inside of Japan. It is often credited with increasing the amount of female viewership for Gundam in Japan. People like to conjecture about the differences between west and east, but Wing did pretty well just about everywhere it went (obviously some places more than others, but it was a relative hit in all regions). But yeah, one of the big differences is that Wing got a lot of content after the original airing in Japan, including a very popular Manga that was still going as recently as 2018. The Evolution playtest was fun but you can tell some things like power level and scale are just going to have be glossed over for the sake of balance and visual congruity. The Wing suits are some of the smallest mobile suits in the Gundam Universe so they might look weird in Evolution.

Watching Crank for the first time. This has to be the most 2006 film ever made.
And then Chester Bennington cameoed which means that this is the most 2006 film ever made. Quote:
From what I understand, Wing's' popularity has had an inverse relationship between the US and Japan. Whereas here in the US, it started off mega popular and has only died down more and more over the years, over in Japan the show has only grown more and more popular as time has gone on, despite having a pretty below-average showing back when it first aired.

I feel Wing's success in America is a major factor, still. Gundam had broken through in damn near every market it touched for 20 years except America somehow, then Wing swooped in and finally generated that buzz.
Also, power scaling is already out the window. I don't know everything about Gundam, but I'm pretty sure you put any of the suits in a room with Turn-A, and after about 10 minutes, you'll have Turn-A, alone, with some dust Well, with the Western market finally interested in their Gundam games, they'd want to appeal to them by adding some of the breakthrough suits. Hell, we've even gone so far as to modify games just to put more Wing characters in them (Battle Assault removing Zeta for Wing, then making Battle Assault 2 without Japan just to insert more Wing and G suits come to mind)

Gundam X is a great show. And its sequel manga "Under the Moonlight" is equally as good.
