Cant wait for my copy to get here! Still waiting on my preorder from Amazon to arrive.

Great review and video thanks guys. The Raiden series is one of my favorite to play on Switch in both short bursts and longer more determined attempts at completion.

Thanks for the review, my biggest complaint is price vs content. I can’t seem to justify paying over $30 for this particular title.

Raiden is my favorite shooter series. It's a shame that we haven't gotten modern releases of the best games (everything pre Raiden III). I bought this for all 3 consoles to support the franchise in any case.

I remember playing Raiden at a video arcade in a coin slot machine style play format.

Raiden is always a nice title. Looking forward to get my physical copy delivered within the next days ;).
It is only a pitty that graphically they don't do much with those remakes to adjust graphics and sounds to HiFi cinema quality level ... otherwise would have been something for the projector.
Okay ... I won't even talk about the whish to have that run in 3D on an appropriate screen ;).

HOLA, SE PUEDE ABRIR EN PANTALLA COMPLETA ?

Not just the ordinary game but the OST itself made that game special especially the ending credit

[juliashenandoah]

Looks promising. Not over-the-top unplayable difficult like so many others, but more like R-Type Final 2. Probably a very good and fun old-school arcade game!

for shmup games, i still miss "Raptor"

[kubuspuchatek]

I really want to love shmups but their difficulty and my poor eyesight don't go hand in hand.

[jackburton]

Thunderforce needs a remake for modern systems.

[bigb]

I love the shmups but I really didn’t particularly enjoy this one. Just seems so lacklustered.

[Thanos]

Just got through playing it. Returned it after only about 2 to 3 hours of actual gameplay, including the boss rush mode.

I hate to say it, but this is one basic bitch of a shooter game.

I thought that the Raiden game from a few years ago, whichever one it was that had the four way rotating diamond laser weapon, and the stupid incessant quips about coffee on the part of the captain, was a much better game.

I really wish they would release Raiden 2 and Raiden DX for the PS5.

I didn't like too much Raiden V, Raiden 4 IMO looks ugly, It hasn't age well, so maybe Raiden 3 is the one.
