Story[]
It is the year A.C. 19X. Heero Yuy has once again taken up the Wing Gundam, this time to take out mobile suits and bring peace to the world. As he battles, he's met with different people. Some, like Amuro Ray, want to test him for the battles ahead. Some, like Judau Ashta, just want to make a living using their suit. Many others, however, are unwilling to stand out, lead on by a mysterious person. As he battles and take out different suits, he finally confronts the mastermind of it all: Treize Khushrenada, who seeks to reignite war once more. A violent battle between the Wing Gundam and the Hydra Gundam ends with the Hydra's defeat, though Treize escapes as his base is set to blow.

Trivia[]
- The original Japanese version of the game, Gundam: The Battle Master 2 had an original cast and an original story for the game. The new story featured in the localization loosely meshes the Universal Century and After Colony universes, with the playable Mobile Suits instead piloted by their most-known pilots (excluding Valdor Farkill from Gundam Wing: G-Unit, who pilots the Psycho Gundam Mark III, while Treize Kushrenada pilots Valdor's Hydra Gundam). While Gundam Battle Assault was released in 2001 in Japan three years after the original was released; making Japan have the same game in two different versions. When the game was localized, it was decided that the original cast be replaced by the suits' original pilots with Heero as the main playable character due to the success of Gundam Wing's broadcast on Cartoon Network's Toonami block at the time, making the game a proper crossover.
- Wing Gundam was added to the game as a playable mobile suits, replacing the Hamma Hamma from the original roster. The Wing Gundam used in the game is actually a modified Zeta Gundam sprite and uses all of the suit's moves, including its Waverider Attack super attack. Because of this, the sprite of the suit transformed ends up looking awkward, including literally flying upside down.
- Although the Hamma Hamma was removed as a selectable character, its data was not removed from the game, allowing it to be selectable via a hacking device.
