Sven says No plans to bring EX Troopers westward at this time.

It may be a shooter, but it's anime-styled and the protagonist has pink hair. As far as Capcom USA is concerned, this game is asbestos.
Capcom wants shooters that appeal to CoD bros, and I can pretty much gauge the reaction from them when they see that game being promoted to them; it involves a lot of anti-Japanese and homophobic slurs.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
It all becomes too much for my brain when whoever in management is deciding that rather than pay slimjim translation+QC fee's for AAI, MonHun, ExTroopers and whatever else and make modest returns, they're throwing fucking millions into absolute C-tier western studios to make stuff like DmC, Lost Planet 3, and Remember Me. Its like theyve adopted some kind of insane "SUPPORT MIDDLING DOOMED DEVELOPERS" charity while simultaneously shitting on the few talented japanese devs left in their halls "YOU ARE NOT MAKING GAMES GOOD ENOUGH FOR AMERICA EYES".
It seems to be lock-on based though. I figure that takes the oomph out of it for most shooting game fans.

Edit: Wait, what Sven said was standard PR talk. Doesn't confirm anything.
Yeah always confuse those two for some reason. Anyway, I hope they change their mind, or do an eshop release, because the game seems much more interesting than LP3.
They kinda had excuses for those two (PSP dead, DS EoL). And I guess not bringing over the PS3 version of EX Troopers might be understandable as well, considering it also has Lost Planet proper and all. But the 3DS version? It's a visually impressive game in an underserved genre on a healthy platform.
I don't know how to make that sentence any more understandable.
I'll import the 3DS version then.. wait... fuck.
I couldn't find the right words, you did.
You can make it less wrong though.

It's frustrating that they've got Monster Hunter though.
Fixed, in their defense.
Seriously, fuck Capcom, but anybody who even considered the possibility of them bringing this over was wasting their time. Writing's been on the wall since the day it was announced.
You want to talk about the 30 FPS character action game with bad dialogue, the bugged out survival horror game with no survival or horror, or the middling third person shooter that's the 3rd sequel to a mediocre franchise?

There is a void in my heart that will never be filled
unless I work on my Japanese.

Careful, I hear the one-line potshot posters aren't being treated well by the mods these days.
The issue wasn't even if it would be localized! Sven brought that part up out of the blue. The issue they were discussing was "sub-series" (and not even Lost Planet's, Mega Man's!)
The fact that an explicit deconfirmation came out of the exchange was entirely Sven's decision. He knew what he was doing.

Nothing localization can't fix lol, either way I still think it has way more appeal than those game. I mean naming Last Ranker...really? Let's be honest here, that game would of sold crap on PSP....in US.
Yeah, that's why i said a bit of a shooter, it might fool some people

i don't think ignoring PS3 version is understandable at all,especially when a japanese game with anime artstyle have space miko in it.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
How so? It looks like just about any other action game, except it's cel-shaded and has potential. It wouldn't kill them to bring out the PS3 version, at least.
Though it's most egregious just because Capcom from last-gen would've brought this over without a second thought. Look at the sorts of games they gave us then -- even mediocrity-fests like Crimson Tears were allowed a US release. And now when Capcom has something that looks legitimately promising and has at least the hardcore fanbase's interest... they just deny it? What else are they doing over at Capcom US that demands their attention?
It'll be interesting to see where Capcom is in five years when all their goodwill they built up over the years has finally disintegrated into nothing.

Why not just import it?
He'd have to have a PS3, at the very least, and even then it's uncertain how big the language barrier will be (though I can't imagine it'd be too big).
Because there was an earlier thread asking "Hey will this be localized!?"

And I'm sure mods know how to read and realize when potshots are warranted

No, but I do want to talk about this:
Hey that image is wrong lol
I don't disagree, well, maybe not AAI2, since I think that would've done quite well considering the budget of an Ace Attorney game compared to something like E.X. Troopers, even if the raw sales figures told a different story.
And whilst I think the game looks great (and I'm definitely importing it on PS3 if I have to), I can kinda see where they're coming from with having no plans for this. There's probably a game that's more appealing to the current Western audiences gaming on consoles/handhelds which they can put their resources into localising.

Can we stop shifting blame to "WESTERNIZATION" when this kind of decisions actually come from Japan's HQ?

This is the company that were supposedly going to release a trial version of MML3 to test the waters for sales, then didn't even bother with that.
That's the thing, aren't all the menus in Japanese? Not to mention the language, i kinda like to know what the hell is going on when i play a game and this seems pretty dialogue heavy..
That's a rather poor excuse given both EX Troopers, and Lost Planet 3 are being released on PS3 in Japan.
Would depend on how much you care for the award-winning Lost Planet lore and writing. I don't, so I really won't miss much by not understanding the dialogue.
Menus can be fumbled through.
Perhaps, although just getting a PS3 is still an option if you really want to play this.

Who have top ranking execs who have some strange notion that the only way to profit is to only sell games with gritty settings and protagonists.
Anything that seems remotely Japanese isn't worth bringing over. Hense westernisation.

lol no.
We could say the same thing for Monster Hunter Tri G, hell the game is essentially translated. They could just dump it on the eShop at $20-$30* for jack shit cost. Capcom just sucks balls as a publisher.
*who the fuck am I kidding? They were originally going to charge $50 for Revelations. Go to hell, CACPOM.

Capcom rewards faith like a serial killer rewards random campers.
What the hell is this
Why are the sprites so bad
Why does it look like an RPG
Why are there two Megamen
Why are there assy touch screen controls

They are probably afraid that their localization team will misspell it SEX Troopers
