I know they have a lot of shit like that with cards that link to arcade games. I don't know much about those. I can only assume they looked at doing something with Amiiiiiiiiboooo and decided that they already employed everyone available in all of Japan producing the mountains of junk they produce on a daily basis, and while they could outsource the entire project, the predicted profits, combined with Nintendo's take of everything, made the venture not financially worth it. This sucks because Bandai has several toy lines, just in the Gundam brand even, that are far less interesting than something like this would be. I mean, kids are buying Gundam PVC figures out of catcher machines 24/7, they might as well throw a microchip in there that links to some half ass strategy game...at the very least, come on.
