Genki was recently delighted to be able to secure a few more copies of the Limited Edition version of
Trigger Heart Exelica on the Dreamcast. Towards the end of the Dreamcast's life cycle as a product stocked by the big electrical stores in Japan, there were still games being released. And even after it went flat line there were some fine shooters such as Trigger Heart and
Under Defeat being released. We regret not stocking greater quantities of these shmups at the time baring in mind their value increased on the retro market. Its always nice to be able to offer such a game at retail price.
So it was a very pleasant surprise to be able to offer the Limited Edition of
Trigger Heart at RRP again. Once more we wonder where this stock has been until now. Perhaps they were preorders still waiting for the customer to collect them? Yet we won't lose too much sleep on that, not with all the sleep lost seeing projectiles flying around the bedroom in the wee hours....
For those unfamiliar the Dreamcast version was an eagerly awaited shmup port of the Naomi
board. The crux of this shooters story is the ability to capture enemy
ships and either use them as a shield or send them spinning off out of
control with a deft joypad flick. The home version includes the original
arcade mode, along with a story, arrange and training modes plus the
chance to tweak with the controls and screen dimensions. Story mode adds
speech to the levels along with various endings depending on which
character the player selected. Arrange is a mish mash of the arcade and
story modes that must be completed on a measly single credit.
Roll on the next game to show up at recommended retail prices. Hope you enjoy these images from a very fine shooter....
