Earth Defense Force 2017 coming to the US

Earth Defense Force, by Japanese developer Sandlot, is finally coming to North American shores via D3Publisher. The third installment to the series of insane alien invasions will now also be going around the gaming circles under the name Earth Defense Force 2017 (EDF 2017), which is pretty much an improvement from an otherwise bland yet equally effective name, EDF3.  This title is set for release around March of 2007, and features a co-op mode, though it is still unsure if multiplayer gameplay over Xbox Live will be available. EDF 2017 will also feature 150 weapon varieties, and over 50 stages of alien-shooting fun.

According to D3Publisher’s VP of Marketing, Allison Quirion, “Sandlot has created an explosively fun game in EDF 2017, and we look forward to astounding gamers with the sheer scope and size of the game’s colossal enemies and expansive environments.”

Did I hear her say “colossal”? As in gigantinormous aliens? Then we’d take that as a license to kill.
