“[E.X. Troopers] was not planned for Western release…” Capcom USA Senior VP, Christian Svensson, recently shared on the company’s forums.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 was last week’s best-selling new game in Japan, outselling Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and E.X. Troopers.

Wondering what The 3rd Birthday developer, Hexadrive, have been up to since they worked on that game?

E.X. Troopers is just two days away from its Japanese release, and Capcom have shared a final trailer for the cooperative anime-esque shooter.

15 minutes of E.X. Troopers gameplay and cutscenes show Capcom’s anime-esque Lost Planet spin-off in action.

When you’re not fighting Akrid, you can fight each other in E.X. Troopers. Capcom announced a 2-on-2 Battle Technique Tournament mode where you can test Bren’s Vital Suit piloting skills against other troopers.

Capcom have uploaded official footage of the recent E.X. Troopers demo that was released via PlayStation Network and the Nintendo eShop.

While Atlus took the Persona 4 glasses and turned them into real life items you can buy, Capcom added real world eyeglasses into E.X. Troopers.

Capcom shared the “Night Treasures” mission from E.X. Troopers, a Lost Planet spinoff that plays like Monster Hunter with guns. Bren can collect items after activating data points and defeating Akrid like Dongo.

Shintaro Kojima, Ryozo Tsujimoto, and Kaname Fujioka show off some co-op footage of E.X. Troopers.

You’ll fight Galdrock in one mission and shoot a cel-shaded Chryatis, an Akrid that appeared in other Lost Planet games, in a second mission.
