Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable will invade America in 2013
The bugs are back! D3 Publisher has announced they’ll be bringing Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable to North America in early 2013.
Originally released in 2007 exclusively for the Xbox 360, Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable will add plenty of bonus features to the five-year-old game. Some of the additions D3 is planning include four-player online multiplayer, new missions, and a new playable character named Pale Wing (he has a jetpack and he’s not afraid to use it).
EDF! EDF! EDF!
