Raiden Fighters Aces when?

[RabidBurp]

I think we have enough iterations of Raiden IV.

+1 for Raiden Fighters Aces! Would buy day one :D

It's already out on GoG.com under the name Raiden Legacy (you also get raiden 1 with it too) but be warned DotEmu did the port and they are not the best but for $6 you can not go wrong.

So we need a proper port for those as well as Raiden II. Hopefully whoever handled this port will step up to that.

What version is the DotEmu one even based off of? The RF games have 3 different versions.

Japan is the standard with no second loop, longer miclus times.

US had a second loop and shorter Miclus reveal times. The second loop in the US and Asia is the same as Japan's Expert course, just that you had to actually play through the first loop to get to it unlike in Japan version.

Asia is pretty much the same as the US except it maintains the miclus reveal time of the Japanese.


The RFA ports are all based on the Japanese versions but had some features not in the original versions. There's many difficulty options that can be used, though only Normal and Arcade were allowed for online leaderboards. The RFA ports for all 3 games also included an additional Score Attack mode which was a caravan style game with a time limit to score as much as you can. The Score Attack has way more secrets than the main game does for the stages. RFJ's port in the RFA release also adds a Full Run course that has you playing all 12 stages instead of the 5-7 you would normally get depending on your route taken through the game.

DotEmu's ports are pretty terrible. If someone ports Aces, then I might think about buying it.

Seems a bit unfair to say we have so many variations of Raiden IV... we just have the original arcade game, the 360 port of that arcade game, and then a upgraded rerelease for PS3/PC.

Sure, Aces would be cool, and we might even get it. Would H2 be willing to port a 360 game?

Personally, they could had fixed the damn music looping problem while they were busy porting the crap out of it.
