In an extremely odd move, especially for a japanese company, Triangle Service, maker of XII Stag and Trizeal, has made an appeal - also in english - for people to preorder the Dreamcast version of Trizeal. Essentially, they admit that the game underperformed in arcades, and that the Dreamcast preorders are abysmal. So the creator pleads for fans to help out. And indeed, the game itself got very lukewarm reception from shooter fans, as did XII Stag.

Tacky or not, it would be a shame to see a company like this, that is dedicated to the shooter genre, go under. Also if you check the link, you'll be able to play one stage of XII Stag, and view a movie from the company's proposed 3rd game Project Lamda. If you feel inclined, preorder the game here.
