Another Century's Episode (アナザーセンチュリーズエピソード in Japanese) is an action 3D game developed by From Software and published by Banpresto, released in Japan in 2005. Selected aces from different mecha series were here specially the Gundam Wing Mobile Suit. Maybe the game was named "ACE" due to the selected mecha aces. ACE is somehow Super Robot Taisen's 3D equivalent.

Have you played flight simulator games before? Maneuvering a mobile suit in ACE feels like your flying a jet but in a mobile suit sense.
