Holy Cats. That, friends, is the new FENCER class in action here and if this video is any indication, Earth Defense Force fans worldwide will be in for a real treat using this new class. Three more screenshots of this beefy guy are below and below the jump is a big gallery of the fun pre-order DLC bonuses Japanese gamers will get from a few locations the game can be purchased from. If you want to zone out completely on a HUGE gallery of hundreds of EDF images, check out Gematsu’s big, honkin’ page of screens.

HOPEFULLY, D3Publisher of America will get ALL this DLC out through PSN and XBLA as opposed to different retailers, as I and a LOT of other gamers HATE this “exclusive” retailer nonsense that forces you to choose ONE version and give up other bonuses. Bleh. Anyway, As EDF is a bigger deal in its home country, Japanese games will have to pick and choose for some of these bonuses:

– Vegalta Gold Coat (for Air Raiders) – Available everywhere – A gold mecha with short flight ability and a revolver cannon.
– Reflection Laser (for Wing Divers) – Only at GEO (PS3) and Amazon (360) – A special laser cannon that can be reflected many times, creating a zigzag.
– Mian Pure Decoy Launcher (for Air Raiders) – Only at D3P Web Shop (PS3, 360) – A special launcher with Dream Club character-themed balloons that act as decoys. They can attract enemy attention and self destruct.
– Setsu Pure Decoy Launcher (for Rangers) – Only at D3P Web Shop (PS3, 360) – A special launcher with Dream Club character-themed balloons that act as decoys. They can attract enemy attention and self destruct.
