About this game
An extended remaster of the third-person big-monster-shooter Earth Defense Force 2017 .
Earth is invaded again (but for the first time, since EDF2017 is a reboot), and it's up to the player to blow up enough huge insects, monsters, and spaceships to discourage them.

Players deploy to a mission with two weapons (selected from up to hundreds), and ammo is always infinite, though most weapons still need to reload.
Enemies are large and plentiful, with those smaller than an apartment building dying in droves.
Upon dying, they drop 2D sprite pickups for health, armor (permanent +1 health upgrades), and new weapons.
Up to 4 players can play co-op online.
Compared to EDF2017, this version of the game has a few extra levels and weapons, and an unlockable extra character: the Pale Wing from Global Defence Force / Earth Defense Force 2: Invaders from Planet Space .
She can jetpack around and uses energy weapons, which drain the same energy source as the jetpack does.
It recharges when not used, and draining it completely will leave you without the ability fly, or to reload or fire most guns.
The default soldier character uses more typical weapons that fire bullets or missiles.
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Earth Defense Force 2017 for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Earth Defense Force 2017 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2007.

No market sales have been tracked yet for Earth Defense Force 2017 — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
