Source search
Did some cursory searching for sources. I could not immediately find any import reviews. Consoles + would be the thing to check, as they had a great preview/review section for JP only titles.

PC Engine Fan did a special series in their December issue to Hudson games, and they devote a whopping 5 pages to the game. This is the most indepth source I've found, but it's all in Japanese. They have a % number in front of each Hudson game they cover, and I believe that's the review score the magazine gave them, but I'm not entirely sure. The previous November issue likely was the review of the game. Both Famitsu and PC Engine Fan make a big deal about the "polygons", with Famitsu calling it the first PC Engine game to use polygons. This should probably be mentioned in the development section.

Superjuegos's Japanmania supplement previewed the game in their Mangazone section (devoted to anime themed games). The preview is 1 page, and not super in depth but it covers some basics. Also, I found Game Go! interview with the composer. The interview unfortunately does not go into depth about the specific development of this game, but it gives background on the composer, and does say they worked on this game. Also the rights to the soundtrack are owned by Hudsonsoft. I also found some Retro Gamer (UK) brief citations discussing how rare and expensive the game is. Also, I found a German Euro-gamer page that covers the rarity of the game.

I own Shooting Gameside, and it's possible they covered the game. I will have to go and check. Overall PC Engine Fan is the most in-depth source by far. Harizotoh9 (talk) 03:43, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

T's music talks like the soundtrack had never been released for the game as of 2001. The music is very notable, and any soundtrack release should be discussed.

There's a French mag called "Hardcore Gamers" (which appears unrelated to the English mag as far as I can tell), and the last issue I've read was 2005. If the mag lasted until 2008 they would have reviewed the PSP collection. Harizotoh9 (talk) 16:32, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Read through the Japanmania preview, and I don't think it says anything terribly new. All it says is that Mika Akitada is working on the game, and he'd previously worked on Zeta and 083, and the Arcade card creates a lot of "morphing routines and renderings". Thing is, I'm not sure what "morphing" is in reference to. The animations? Harizotoh9 (talk) 02:54, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
