More on MS Sensen 0079
Gpara has an article detailing notable features of the game:
When both the player and enemy units do melee attacks, they can get into melee weapon clashes. For several seconds after that, swinging the Wiimote will fill an onscreen gauge and can let you use special attacks.
Pressing the B button allows one to guard in melee. If you swing the Wiimote with the right timing when your opponent attacks, you can perform a "guard impact" counter.
The 6 modes of the game include Ace Pilot mode (following stories as seen in the anime) and Story mode (original stories with the characters).

MS Sensen 0079 original characters UPDATED
From the most recent issue of Famitsu.
Earth Federation (SRT-Unit 1 Corps):
2nd Lt. Alan Aylward (Hiroshi Kamiya) - Serves as the head of the Corps and protagonist of the Federation scenario. He excels at piloting and is a decisive leader. But perhaps because of his child-like face he tends to be seen as wishy-washy.
Master Sergeant Dennis Barrow (Hiroki Takahashi) - A handsome-looking young man. Though a talkative playboy, his combat skill is true. He's good at everything from constructing strategies to building things but his real forte is as a marksman.
Corporal Hoa Blanchett (Sayaka Ohara) - Serves as the team's operator and is a non-combatant. A calm, older sister figure who brings everyone together. Has a strong ability to analyze information.
Warrant Officer Lilu Sommers (Masumi Asano) - Strong-willed, egotistical lady. Is disgruntled by her assignment to the oddball SRT-Unit 1 Corps but gradually opens her heart to those around her.
Principality Of Zeon (Brauer Team):
2nd Lt. Leo Brauer (Koutarou Namura) - A man with great self-respect from a fallen noble family. Mischievous yet lively, he is beloved by many. The kind of person who makes decisions quickly and tends to be in touch with his surroundings.
Master Sergeant Klaus Bertrand (Daisuke Ono) - Leo's childhood friend. An intellectual who's always scheming for his own benefit. At first, he appears gentle and friendly but his true nature is dark.
Sergeant Toldo Bobrov (Osamu Hosoi) - Veteran pilot who worked as a colony construction subcontractor in the past. Surviving from the beginning of the One Year War, he has a wealth of experience.
Private 2nd Class Ann Friberg (Fumiko Orikasa) - Operator and non-combatant. Finished training courses at the academy and was assigned halfway through. As this is her first time on Earth and on the frontlines, she's beginning to feel the stress.
Edit: The official site updated with Story Mode info and reveals people who reserve the game get the MS Sensen 0079 Memorial Disk DVD (contents not yet mentioned).
