Well, I should get around to Raiden III and IV eventually, then. Still a bit occupied by Lightening Force/Thunder Force IV.... hot damn that sprite-work is glorious. Never seen such beautiful parallax scrolling in my life.I played Raiden III, IV and V!
The best of these is Raiden IV, in my opinion!
The fifth game was a bit boring for me! No TATE mode tooAlso, the UI was very confusing! But it's a good game,despite its flaws!
So just like real life, then!
There are actually many shmups that deal with this in a better way. Most of the time, when the enemies enter the lower part of the screen they stop shooting. Sure this is not realistic, but this is a video-game after all. It needs to be fun, not realistic !
I agree. You kinda made me now pay attention to how enemies enter the sceen
Hudo
Raiden V is pretty good, but I prefer IV. I need to sink more time into V because maybe I'll change my mind. I love the spectacle of it all. Probably one of the best-looking shmups made so far (in terms of graphical flare).

Space Megaforce is sweet. I admit I played it in a very long while but I remember enjoying it, especially the soundtrack.
Raiden Fighters? Oh boy. Okay. So I'll look into III, IV and the Fighters Aces! Thanks, duders, haha. But let me finish Thunder Force IV, first ^^
Raiden Fighters Aces (Fighters, Fighters 2, and Fighters Jet) is the best Raiden money can buy, though. Not a single mainline Raiden game can compare.
Both games have enough depth to their scoring and they're both competent shmups. Not gonna be everyone's favorite but I know some nerds who absolutely loved those titles.
Yeah! That looks like a plastic model that has been photographed. Would be pretty rad to have a plastic model of the mothership, ha! But I have to admit that my favourite Shmup-series from Konami is still Twinbee. Especially Detana!! Twinbee. But I highly respect Gradius, though.That Gradius mothership model from the bottom of the article looks rad:
Wrist stability is important for high scores.
A single arcade stick that you buy off the shelf? No. That doesn't exist.
I wouldn't consider it "junk", but no you aren't going to sell the parts. The buttons and stick are actually the cheapest parts. You can do a full 8-button + joystick + balltop + washers of your color choice for about $50, which is the price of a new controller. It's the case that is the expensive part, so if you're going to buy a stick and only one stick, you may as well build your own or buy a high-quality model (based on the case) and then convert it over.
Considering how poorly Strikers II performed on the Vol. 2 collection, it would be accurate to say this is "take it or leave it" effort from ZeroDiv, as usual.
I don't know what version it is based upon. I would assume the arcade ROM but I honestly don't know.
This is what I'm crossing my fingers for. They've made it evident that there will be more digital volumes, so if there are future plans for a physical release now wouldn't be the time to announce it.
Raiden v is the only one I played, very good. 4 on 360 is stupid expensive last I checked
Raiden 4 is not that great, in my opinion. I have the PS3 (digital) port. If you're gonna branch out into other Raidens, I think the best in the franchise are the three spin-offs Fighters, Fighters 2, and Fighters Jet.
Oh geez, hope you like it. Deathtiny is one of the best shmup releases this gen so far. M2 ShotTriggers are masters of their craft.
Cool, I won't sweat skipping 4 then. There's that 360 compilation also.
Try DeathTiny mode. It's "easy" compared to the rest. It has a very fun scoring system and a lot of top-tier players in the shmup community are already falling in love w it, so don't assume it's a throwaway mode like I first did.
HAH! The Blu Ray fumes have gotten to me, I have to admit it.What kind of insane opinion is this?
Have you been infected by illness related diseases caused by Blu Ray which is killing MILLIONS OF PEOPLE every day?????
I might got it to then, because I agree.
