Triggerheart Exelica Enhanced coming to PS2

Faintear also a playable character

Coming this winter, but no US release date (if any). BTW, you best quick get the Xbox Live Arcade version if you want it, because it's one of the games being delisted (it was considered "unsuccessful").

Ever since I saw this for the Dreamcast on Play-Asia, I've been wanting to play this. Even if this doesn't come to the US, I think I'll plan on importing this.

WAIT.

XBLA games get delisted?

They'll get delisted if they meet these requirements:

- Must be at least six months old
- Have a Metacritic score below 65
- Conversion rate below 6% (what?)

Microsoft will provide a three-month notice before delisting any game. Right now, there's only "potential" lists of games that might get deleted. If you've already downloaded it, don't worry. You can re-download it if you've bought it before they delisted it. Potential list. I think this has started.

To add on to this, I think there's a workaround in the form of friend recommendations. It's fucking stupid either way, of course.

This is cool news, though. I'm awful at TE but it's a lot of fun. Hopefully someone will pick it up for a US release.

I don't see it coming to the US, honestly.

But really, what kind of world are we living in when Ms.PacMan isn't considered good enough to be downloaded on a digital download service?...

I wouldn't hold my breath, but Castle of Shikigami III made it over here, and every so often Chaos Field or similar wanders stateside. You never know.

Maybe it was a different board revision than what I usually play, but the ghosts don't move right. That's pretty fucking serious D:

What system is Castle of Shikigami III for? Sounds interesting. Haven't played a shmup lately & I wanna get back into them.

I don't know why, but this seems like something Atlus would pick up....

It's available for Japan on both Wii and 360.

It's only available in English on the Wii. (I have this version, and it doesn't look like it's worse looking than the 360 version, to be honest.)

Don't forget the PC.

Ah, that's right. I couldn't remember. Wasn't the 2nd one Castle Shikigami 2 for PS2?

....Can't find it on GameStop...

Anyways, back to Triggerheart. If this did get brought to the US (I mean, it came to XBLA), I'd imagine this be a discount game (perhaps $30-ish, but not higher than $40).

Shikigami 2's available for dirt cheap if you can find it. The first was released as 'Mobile Light Force 2', and is awful(everything that suggests it has character or story was removed).

The second kept all that, with terrible voice acting.

The third is practically perfect; deliberately hilarious voice acting.

zonic505 · 07-25-2008, 01:56 PM

If I'm lucky, I might get it at GameStop since I got a $25 gift card Tuesday from my library for winning at SSBB

valius · 07-25-2008, 03:57 PM

Well, you're in luck. The Wii version only costs $20

I saw it and got it immediately.

On-topic:
Oh, goody, genuinely good shoot 'em ups losing to the lame XBLA rules system.

zonic505 · 07-25-2008, 05:14 PM

I kinda wanted to save it for a DS game (mostly Bangai-O! Spirits) since I just noticed a few days ago I had sold all my DS games aside from Ouendan/2, Jump! Ultimate Stars, & EBA...But I can ask for that for my B-day present (or get it via B-day money).

yeah, and not to mention two of the best shoot 'em ups ever made getting rejected for a XBLA release because they're wanting to "cut back on arcade accurate ports." Nice going microsoft...

But back to Triggerheart Exelica, I have it on Dreamcast, it's a pretty fun game. I may get it again on ps2 depending on if the price is right and how much they're adding to this version.
