Is Tatsujin Oh a sequel to Truxton or a remake?
It is a direct arcade sequel to Tatsujin, known outside Japan as Truxton. It keeps the vertical shooting structure but pushes the series toward heavier fire and more punishing layouts. [Toaplan title page](https://www.toaplangames.co.jp/en/license/license-11.html)
What do the power-ups do in Tatsujin Oh?
Pickups can increase ship speed, add a smart bomb, or change and strengthen the current weapon. That makes weapon control important because the same power-up route can feel very different on a later stage. [Truxton II overview](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truxton_II)
Why is Tatsujin Oh known as a difficult arcade shooter?
Toaplan described it as hardcore shooting action with a high level of difficulty. Dense enemy fire and demanding stage layouts make pattern learning important, especially in the 1992 arcade version. [Toaplan title page](https://www.toaplangames.co.jp/en/license/license-11.html)
