While Ace Frontier merely covered the six most well-known series in the Macross franchise, Ultimate Frontier delves into spin-offs and side-stories, including the ill-received Macross II (which receives its first video game representation in over 15 years). Several new subsystems are added in this game, including Support Characters and Antii-Missile attacks.Featured Macross SeriesSuper Dimensional Fortress MacrossSuper Dimensional Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love?Super Dimensional Fortress Macross: Flash Back 2012 (new)Super Dimensional Fortress Macross II: Lovers Again (new)Macross PlusMacross 7Macross 7 Dynamite (new)Macross FrontierMacross Zero Macross VF-X 2 (new) Macross M3 (new) Macross II, Flash Back 2012, M3, and VF-X 2 are not given full-fledged campaigns.
