Trigger Heart Exelica is coming from the small Japanese developer Warashi (possibly known to some from the shooter 'Shienryu' and numerous Mahjong games) and is a Naomi Arcade port, originally released in Japanese Arcade not long ago -- in early 2006. It's a vertical shooter with intense single-player shooting through realtime 3D worlds and AI-adjusted boss challenges.
What's unique about Trigger Heart and distinguishes itself from other shmups is the three button system. Next to the usual shooting and bomb button, there's an "anchor shot", which allows you to capture enemies. Once captures, you can use your foes as shield or throw them back at other enemies as sort of special bomb.
A few weeks after Respotgames's Last Hope comes another great Dreamcast™ shooter. Don't miss out Warashi's Trigger Heart Exelica, shipping today as Regular Version (US$ 59.90) as well as Limited Edition (US$ 79.90). Both versions ship in a DVD type case (just like Sega's Cosmic Smash) and the Limited Edition contains a bonus soundtrack CD.
Both versions of Trigger Heart Exelica are shipping in DVD type cases with different artworks. The regular version artwork is green colored and identical to the one we have seen on Warashi's promotional flyer. The Limited Edition artwork is pink colored with different background.
