Trigger Heart Exelica XBLA achievements revealed photo

Finally, some XBLA news that doesn't make me want to stab someone with a rusty screwdriver. The folks over at Xbox360Achievements.org are showing off the list of achievements for the upcoming Live Arcade port of Trigger Heart Exelica.

This makes me very happy for two reasons: First off, the achievements are tough, which is an adjective that should always have a place when talking about a good shooter. Secondly, the fact that there is now a list of achievements helps to solidify that one of my favorite Dreamcast games is indeed headed for XBLA, and that it wasn't all some fantasy I cooked up in my worm-ridden brain. You can check out the full list and some gameplay footage from the original version after the jump. Who's excited?

[Big ups to Buster.com for the tip, and for continued contributions to the fields of awesome and win.]

Trigger Heart Exelica achievements are as follows:

Exelica Normal Ending - 10 points
Complete the game playing as Exelica (normal ending).

Oh man! Cannot wait for ship chucking action! :D

Though, I'm pretty sure I won't be able to get most of those achievements.

It's not that hard. :P

You have to master using the anchor. It almost becomes like a puzzle game. I play the shit out of this on my Dreamcast, I can't wait for it on XBLA.

Excuse me, I think this achievement was unlocked when Streets of Rage II came out. Can't wait to play this though.

Update: I poked a video in there for you guys to check out some gameplay footage. It's not as complicated as it looks.

This isn't a terribly deep or incredible shooter, but the characters are awesome and it's tons of fun to play.

...but..it's another shooter. Another shooter on XBLA.

The mechanics do look pretty spiffy on this game, but please stop!

This looks awesome, I've been dying to play a game like this since listening to shmups Episode of RetroforceGo!. its great to see games like this being added on the XBLA, especially with the announcement of Things on Wheels.

Well, I'm not too impressed with achievements in general, but at least there are no 'play 100,000 times' achievements.

ill admit, i never heard of this game until you mentioned it on the Retroforce podcast, but after seeing it in action i must say, the game looks hot! I'll certainly get it when it comes out.

That looks sweet. I love top down shooters. I'll never get any of the acheivements though. So, when do we get some news on Radient Silvergun?

Hmmm... Never been a fan of bullet hell games, but the grappling mechanic looks cool. Quirks like that is what got me into Ikaruga after all. ^_^

Wow. I'm really just now getting into Shooters like this. It all started with Geometry wars and has escalated into the eclectic shooters (you know, Q! entertainment stuff, E4 and Rez) But I haven't really gotten into classic shooters, though games like this and Ikaruga, (bullet hell shooters( have always fascinated me. I can't wait to demo / buy this.

I absolutely love this game and it's good to see that they aren't copping out on the achievements for the XBL version.
This will be a definite purchase for me since my Dreamcast went to the big living room in the sky awhile ago, and I don't really have the money for another one atm.
