Capcom’s heavily stylised Lost Planet spin-off EX Troopers continues to look absolutely sensational. The Japanese publisher has released a brand new trailer dedicated to demonstrating the anime-infused shooter’s beautiful visual style. As good as the actual Lost Planet 3 looks, we think we’d rather play this.
The game will bring its brand of co-op action to Japanese store shelves later this year. There’s no word on a Western release just yet, but we’d be amazed if it didn’t make its way overseas eventually.
Check out the new footage below.

@Savino: I highly doubt this is 3DS footage. It's a heavily stylized version of lost planet, which is why it's so bold colored and lowered polygon count. But I am excited for both versions.
Here I come to rain on this parade!
@Savino. I agree with you when you wrote:
"The game looks nice, but come on Japan, you can make better chars than this!!Those chars are the same in every freaking Japanese game.
The main char as a heroic moron.The tall, strong and bald guy ho are brave and friend of all (and looks like a kid)The naive cute girl.The smart intellectual girl.And the mysterious serious guy who has his own motives to fight.
Hope the game is fun, cuz looking to the chars I already know that the story will suck!"
And as I posted before on this game: "Overall I'm not happy with this.
Let me guess, you'll play a generic looking anime hero(with pink hair), and his school chums will be a beautiful girl who is unsure of herself and always clutches her textbooks close to herself, and a senior who wears glasses, and he's always pushing them back up on his nose? The hero will learn to believe in himself and his wacky group of friends while they continually give eachother single-solemn-head-nods?
I like Lost Planet, especially when it's in the snow, and fighting akrid, I don't care much for fighting snow pirates. The premise of this new game sounds a bit silly, but we'll see.
From the trailer it looks like you'll never be piloting a "VS" in ground combat. The trailer focuses on infantry combat and a glimpse of some suspect Voltron-like space fight.
Lost Planet is not Voltron, is not Gundam, is not Evangelion, is not Zone of the Enders.
This must be Capcoms way of getting revenge on Lost Planet creator Keiji Inafune for all the things he's said about Capcom and the Japanese gaming industry as a whole."
Even how it's assumed they are using the Megaman Legends 3 engine-further rubbing it in.
In this game they've taken the fun of Lost Planet and cut out half of it. Lost Planet features fun "on-foot" combat, but a big part of the fun is finding VS suits and piloting them around. This game looks to take that away by making VS suits just that, tiny suits and pieces of armour or a jetpack the character wears on or under their clothes. (Of course there's some voltron/evangelion-like stuff going on in the cut-scenes featuring a more substantial suit, but at this time I don't think we should asume this will be the full Lost Planet experience, only half, and that half has been seriously messed over with the "silly anime trope stick".
This is what Savino was talking about. The game has been confirmed for the 3DS but this is speculated to be the PS3 gameplay trailer. i'm getting this when it comes out. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/05/ex_troopers_trailer_released
