The DLC features the Super Fighter from Tatsujin/Truxton, playable in Arcade Mode +, two new tracks for Time Attack (original arcade stage 1 theme and a remix) and the Sound Test and a new entry into the Data Mode HD menu so you can learn more about Tatsujin/Truxton from the over-enthusiastic Yuki Ito (voiced by Kumiko Nishihara).

In order to faithfully re-create Tatsujin's play experience, the Super Fighter plays differently from the other characters: powerups cycle between three colours, the colour coresponding to a weapon type and options are added automatically at a certain power level. More info in the manual, here!

Today's update includes:

• Fix for missing sound playback
  This should enable those of you with Asus Xonar Essence STX II and similar cards to play with sound and fix sound related crashes too.
  
• Fixed Story Replay unlocks in Classic Mode
  The 'Bonus' story should now unlock once all other Chapters have been unlocked.
  
• Fix to enable access to Sound Test menu
  The menu will now be accessible, but to listen to DLC voice/music, you will need the DLC in your Steam library.
  
• Fix for Driving World's background
  Some of the clouds were not displaying correctly; this should be fixed.
  
• Fix for UI display glitches
  The bonus gauge and some other UI elements should now display correctly all the time.
  
• Other minor fixes

As always, if you have any problems related to this release, please check this thread out or contact us via games@degica.com
