15 or so years later I still do not know what you are supposed to do with Tsukiko Final Form's scream+hair attack.

Has an alright practice mode (Stage start and boss start, no continues), Easy, Normal, all three Extreme modes. Free Play is available from the start. Allows 2P start in solo so you can use the alternate colors. Does not have story gallery or Dramatic Change mode (For a game with this many story scenarios based on who you are playing as, that seems kind of a shame. I have no idea how they expect people to get all the cheevos for the duo combos. Do you have a friend who likes you enough to run this game 35 times?). The translation is different from the Wii version but does not appear to have been "localized" into inaccuracy, as is the custom, but instead has grammar and punctuation errors which is a more classic custom and far more tolerable, even if it results in some very awkward to read phrases. It also offers only the Japanese dub and better sound quality overall than you could get playing the Wii version

The last character is hidden on character select screen and you can select him by highlighting Fumiko and pressing down. Hardly a spoiler as he's in the training mode select menu but whatever.

Does not appear to have any way of viewing score tables, your own or the leaderboards, within the game itself. This is handled through Steam's leaderboard interface, per character, shot type, game mode/difficulty. Several posted scores have the last digit of shame not at 0, but my 18x credit feed clear did not get posted, so I am not sure what they are checking for.

finally the trilogy is out in europe. a great port of a banger for the shump heds with new content

Fantastic bullet hell game, hopefully the developers make a brand new one after all these years.
