Datach Gundam strategy cartridge, dependent on Bandai's Datach Joint ROM System barcode reader to summon Mobile Suits via scanned cards. Without this peripheral the game loses its core mechanic, which limited its distribution and the survival of complete copies with their card set. Desirability rests on the Datach ecosystem combined with the Gundam license, a crossover sought by collectors of Bandai peripherals and Gundam merchandise.
