Trigger Heart Exelica XBLA achievements revealed

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?
