[Alucrid]

yep it's a vita game

 

[Hexa]

So it's a mecha themed VN?
Edit: Oh its based on an anime. I thought the name sounded familiar. I heard the anime is bad though but I guess it's doing well enough for a game.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

lol

My mind labyrinth is full of fuck

 

[oti]

For a second I thought it was "Captain Planet" and got kinda excited.

 

[Rymuth]

Not the sequel to Captain Planet I had imagined it to be...

EDIT: Beaten like Captain Pollution!

 

[Canis lupus]

Looks like a Vita game

 

[Imouto]

It's Captain Earth. I'm interested.

The anime is okay, though.

Nice homepage, Namco!

[lonely]

Seriously how many mediocre mecha anime VNs can Bandai Namco pump out a year? They've also got an M3 game coming out soon. also something about showing girls my boomerang.

 

[Necromanti]

yep it's a vita game

I'm selling my Vita.

EDIT: I wonder if it's recyclable.

 

[Åesop]

Looks like Neon Genesis Evangelion

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Might as well rename the console the Bamco box.

 

[Atlas157]

I'm selling my Vita.

EDIT: I wonder if it's recyclable.

Don't sell the Vita. Vita is love.

Looks like Neon Genesis Evangelion

It wishes it could be as good as Eva.

 

[Nightengale]

It's an anime cash-in game.

Don't expect anything out of it, really.

 

[Acquiescence]

 

[TimmiT]

It's an anime cash-in game.

Don't expect anything out of it, really.

It's not even a game, it's a visual novel.

 

[sono]

Day 1

 

[BlazeHedgehog]

I'm selling my Vita.

EDIT: I wonder if it's recyclable.

I happen to run a very reputable recycling service called "I wouldn't mind having a Vita"

Not for this game, though. Obviously.

 

[alice_kiss_lara]

hentai game?
looks interesting

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Well Namco certainly seem to be bringing out a lot of anime based games for the Vita.

Madoka Battle Pentagram, Sword Art Online, Girls Und Panzer, Irregular at Magic High School, Hanayamata and a bunch of One Piece, Gundam and Robot Taisen games. Guess they are doing a hell of a lot better on the Vita than Magi did on the 3DS.

If only they give me Masoukishin COTE on the Vita, I'd have imported it already.

 

[$h@d0w]

Vita really cornered this market.

 

[Owwari]

P*NIS ENGINE, EXPAND.

 

[Nightengale]

Vita really cornered this market.

Not really, Haikyuu, Precure and some other stuff are still stubbornly on 3DS.

 

[Imouto]

Not really, Haikyuu, Precure and some other stuff are still stubbornly on 3DS.

I really want a Precure game. I actually believe it will do better with the current "audience" than little kids.

 

[Atlas157]

It's not a hentai game.

 

[CHC]

yep it's a vita game

First post wraps it up. Either you like it or don't.... I'll digress here.

 

[Hellraider]

That's a scary thought, actually. One which I'm not sure whether you are wrong...

 

[OverBlood 3]

Thanks Japan for believing in Life.

 

[-Horizon-]

Belly button forte.
I'm ok with seeing more of it :3c

 

[mao2]

購乳決定なので～すぅ！

 

[KennyKen]

Nice homepage, Namco!

http://captain-earth.bngames.net/

Excellent

 

[KainXVIII]

Yep, looks like typical Vita game.

 

[ArtHands]

I don't think anyone will mind if it stays a vita exclusive.

 

[ubersticky]

Like... okay.

 

[sechsterangriff]

So is there any mecha gameplay at all or is this just a cash grab visual novel?

 

[Fisico]

Wow, so they bother making a game based on an anime that doesn't even have good sales.

I checked the wiki about Captain Earth...and the anime doesn't seems to have the quality either

Reception[edit]
UK Anime Network called it "Eureka Seven meets Star Driver", and noted that this might grab the attention of fans of the prior works.[32] Critical reception to the first episode has been mixed within the Anime News Network staff, with several comments focused on the pacing but mostly praise given to the animation.[33] In an extensive review of the first three episodes, UK Anime Network was disappointed with the series' beginning, noting Bones could do much better. The reviewer praised the animation and potential but criticized most of its characters.[34]

 

[Nikodemos]

Don't sell the Vita. Vita is love.

Vita is life, Vita is love.

Spoiler

Vita is now solidly entrenched as an otaku fanservice machine. In Japan at least.

 

[useyourfist]

Uk release?

Spoiler

lol...

 

[Awful Falafel]

Something about that phrase makes me want to play a dating sim where you get to go out with giant robots. That's got to exist right? I mean in a world with Katawa Shoujo and Hatoful Boyfriend it's got to.

 

[Hugstable]

yep it's a vita game

welp...

Was Captain Earth even any good? Did it even have good sales?

 

[synce]

The Playstation VN Machine... I swear like 90% of the titles are VNs (if you're in Japan anyway)

 

[fertygo]

What the fuck.. who that have any interest in this?
The anime is shitty and bombed real bad.

Fuck Captain Earth.

 

[Nightengale]

welp...

Was Captain Earth even any good? Did it even have good sales?

Captain Earth is... mediocre.

It's a show with nice ideas, but it also exemplifies Bones at its worst, which is having nice ideas, but ideas that isn't supported by a strong foundation of pacing, character depth and stuff that makes a series tick. The last 10 or so episodes felt very wasteful, to be honest. The show lacks a tightness to the storytelling, and therefore feels like it's wasting time instead of progressing the story.

And it doesn't have good sales.

 

[Tizoc]

I appreciate her lewdness.

 

[Tenki]

It's amazing how almost everytime there's a new Vita game announced (when it's not an indie port), it has ecchi.

 

[outunderthestars]

yep it's a vita game

Sad but true.
