Famitsu has first word on a new Capcom title this week. Titled Ex Troopers, this action shooting game is being developed for PS3 and 3DS release under the watch of producer Shintaro Kojima (Monster Hunter series).

Ex Troopers shares the same world view as Lost Planet. However, the game has an anime visual style and a school-themed story. According to a summary of Famitsu's article from Sinobi, the game looks like a science fiction Justice Gakuen. Between stages, the game uses a "manga demo" event system similar to what was used in Gravity Rush. Capcom will be using May'n for the game's theme song.

Here are some additional details on EX Troopers from Famitsu's reveal article and a summary at Sokuho.

EX Troopers tells of the fight between the snow pirates and Akrid aliens on EDN-3rd. You play as Bren Turner, a young man who's come to the academy (the game has a school theme) from EDN-2nd. Famitsu also introduces such characters as TeeKee, a female snow pirate who has the ability to communicate with the Akrid, and Gingira, a Vital Suit that's loaded with next generation AI and can communicate with its pilot. Gingira calls Bren "Master."

The EDN-3rd planet has three bases, each with unique traits. You select one of these to serve as your base of operations. The three bases figure into the story, as while Bren comes from one base, other members of the academy come from different bases. The story will be told through "manga demo" cut scenes (similar to Gravity Rush).

Famitsu managed to get some interview time with Shintaro Kojima, the game's producer (previous work on the Monster Hunter series). The game was started with the hope of making a beginners' action shooter, explained Kojima. While EX Troopers shares its world setting with Lost Planet, they hope that players play it lightly as a new title.

Unfortunately, the reveal article does not seem to have much in the way of gameplay details. But with a playable debut coming next month, we'll hopefully get details over the coming weeks.

EX Troopers will see 3DS and PS3 release some time this year. The game is currently 60% complete, Famitsu reports. Capcom is also planning developments outside of games for the title


It will be playable at the "Capcom Summer Jam" event on June 30th/July 1st.

Well, that's all I needed to hear. Where do I start throwing my money?

Haha, I got pretty hyped too, but the game is more of a third person shooter.

The official site has been launched, and its got a lengthy PV with tons of gameplay.

Hey, I wouldn't care if it was a farming sim. Project Justice is one of my favorite games ever JUST for the setting alone, so anything that claims inspiration from it is worth a look.

This looks oddly fun. Might have to snag it in the future.

More LP goodness aside, there has to be a good reason why I thought FLCL when I first saw the scans.

Must be some sort of holodeck.

Must be. EDN-3 was nothing but Desert, humid jungles, and some still frozen areas. I don't recall any resorts.

The mech also seems highly out of place. Wayne had his psudo Jehuty and Eisenberg had his flying Metal Gear Ray at the end of the 1st game, but in the 2nd game nothing ever came up as far as that level of tech came. Only new unit I remember at all was that amphibious VS.

Though it did end with Amuro stopping Akrid Axis or something from falling on earth.

Sadly, two weeks ago Capcom's Christian Svensson recently revealed that Capcom has no plans to bring EX Troopers out in the West.

Every time I see this topic title I think it is for VR Troopers.

Shame it likely won't make it over this way.

Oh good, I was wondering if I should buy the PS3 or 3DS version. If at all.

The 3DS demo will be available on the Japanese eShop on Wednesday, so that should help you choose between'em.

Have some gameplay videos in the mean time:

I wish the chances of this game releasing in North America weren't such a question mark. T_T

It looks so awesome.

Overall I don't see a reason in geting the 3DS version over the PS3 version. There's no doubt the PS3 one will have far more content overall.

Don't forget what happened last time Nintendo wanted a major title that's mainly for one of the big consoles.

aka, the 1st Transformers game, rise of cybertron or whatever it was called.

It's up on the store.

Played through the single player mission, it feels like a 3DS game that was just put on ps3 as an afterthought, but I like how it kind of reminds me of Legends

Aw dammit. I entirely forgot this game existed.

Don't suppose anyone picked up the pS3 version did they?

WAS thinking of getting since it's 30 bucks off at PA (Although it's back ordered), but there's no point without anyone friends since that's the point of the gameplay.

A few notable vocal performances:

Stoic Sniper pretty boy is Kittan (somehow)
Hot-blooded mecha pilot girl is Aruru, Lymle (Star Ocean), and Puchiko
Principal/Dean guy will violate you, and give you candy (in that order)
Main character's giant robot "Gingira" is everyone and everything (Koyasu)
AI Sisters and climax insert songs are performed by the creepy artist Yuu Kobayashi

Screw it, I ordered it. Getting it for $49 is too damn good when it'll most likely be out of print soon and the normal price is still $80+.

The down side is that it's back ordered so who knows when I'll actually get it.
