The weapons have been changed completely. The overseas version, Orius.The Flint is slightly smaller (and blue). Ground Laser: Your main gun is changed to an upgraded Proton Laser while a laser beam travels across the floor (similar to the R-Type Air-to-Ground Laser). Search Laser: A laser with strong homing that travels in square trajectories. Spiral Laser: A spiral laser (similar to the Gradius Ripple Laser). Round Laser: An unusual spread shot (different from the overseas version's main weapon). The strongest weapon (similar to the R-13 Cerberus laser, Shade Alpha). Homing Laser: A 3-way laser with weak "bending" homing for top and bottom lasers. Picking up one of six powerups gives you the following: The name of the current weapon is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Weapons Note: These weapons are not present in the overseas versions. The Flint will also unleash its tentacles, which will block enemy fire. Instead, upon releasing it, the Flint will slowly home in on the closest enemy and attempt to connect to it upon it, damaging it. The Flint is not like the Force, though, as you cannot connect it to the rear of the Flintlock. 
Xexex plays almost like R-Type in the sense that you have many enemies attempting to destroy you and you need to properly use the "Flint" in order to survive. The game is unusual for different gameplay mechanics between the original Japanese and the overseas releases. In the ending, the Flintlock sends the orb back through the atmosphere of the planet, where it morphs into a fairy, and saves planet E-Square.
Princess Irene La Tias of Planet E-Square has been kidnapped by the flamboyant and androgynous evil galactic overlord Klaus Pachel Bell, and the last hope in rescuing her and pushing back his army of bio-cybernetic war machines lies in the experimental fighter Flintlock, a spacecraft developed from a recently discovered, mysterious life form, the Flint. Once again, space-bound humanity finds itself in trouble.
The Flintlock feels almost like a souped up R-9 due to the Flint pod and its wide variety of weapons available.
