The patch does nothing.
My BrawlStick is still not functioning properly.
Ah, damn. I can't find any release notes about that patch, so I don't know what it was even supposed to do. Someone on shmups said it broke even more controllers.
That's awesome news, and i was thinking lately that it would be great if i could play this version. Should have asked for a few million Euro instead >.<
Bullet Soul: Infinite Burst has a new date, 5/29. That wasn't so bad, only about a month delay.

Not actually that important
I was referring to Raiden Fighters Aces on X360
sorry for the confusion, dunno why Legacy came up on my post, I must've been sleepy! otherwise why would I be excited for a possible PAL release after all these years, Legacy has always been available here, the one missing is the X360 collection. The collection had a bad history of being limbo'ed in publishers hell here in PAL land and unfortunately both the NTSC skus are region locked.
I still think fully updated Raiden Legacy on iPad+iCade is very enjoyable.
PC port is trash, but I was never referring to that one, since it came out later and was super buggy. Although the music is at least much better than on MAME

I wish I had that stick, haha

Awesome! ^
At least MOSS acknowledges stick-gate. A patch is forthcoming. Sigh.

Yeah I don't see a download link. Probably rights expiring or something.
Boo. Good thing I grabbed it as soon as it went up. Ironically, I was playing it a few days ago using the same stick that doesn't work in Overkill.

FUUUUU... I had never bought it yet!
Don't want to spend more money on JPN but even if I did the game isn't on there nor icon the EU store :/ still have my PAL disc but no working PS2 (and even if it did work I have no more space for consoles, last-gen + current gen is my limit.
I wonder how does the Windows port play, I mean it was on Type X so...

The PC port of Raiden III is great. Ran like butter even on my junky-ass setup back in the day. Like you say, it's a Type X port to PC, all they really had to do is disable the security dongle lookup, and I bet it just ran without issue. Thanks CyberFront you will be missed.

There was some discussion on the shmups board the other day about how the NA release of Raiden IV: Overkill was released about a week before the JP version, which got delayed for unspecified reasons. It's pretty unconventional for a game with a local publisher to be releasing before the developer itself releases in JP.
Then you have this mystery deletion of Raiden III from PSN.
I'm wondering if something didn't go down between Moss and UFO. Hope not, as UFO is one of the last publishers still bringing shooters to the west.

Destructoid review of R-Type Dimensions PS3.

I believe the new soundtrack is actually indeed new, wasn't in the XBLA version in 2009.

That control config screen reminds me of this:
And what's this about a new OST? That's certainly worth a double dip.
Just downloaded & installed a few min ago.
Yeah, there is indeed a new soundtrack for the PS3 version.
I'd have to go back on YouTube to see if the XBLA had its own remixed soundtrack in 2009, or just the original arcade music from '87 and '89. I don't remember.

Between this and the Cave Shooting Collection, I can't take all this shmup goodness. I am not worthy.
Excellent!

Heck yeah. It will be nice to to have this game on Steam especially for the shump fans who missed out on importing the retail version a few years ago. (Was lucky enough to get one)
Now all we need is Edelweiss to hurry up and release Astebreed on Steam but the good news is that if you purchase it on Playism (on 5/23) who gets to sell it first, but you'll get a Steam key for it later once it comes out.

Nice to hear about more Shooting Them Upward games coming to digital services. I mean, soon I'll have 3 games that I never expected to play legitimately*!
*Well, one of them is Ikaruga, which I probably could have found a copy of, but the Steam version is nice. Once Crimzon Clover hits Steam, I'll have that and Recca Summer Carnival '92 (on 3DS). Damn, it feels good to be a spaceship.
It's old news to you guys by now, I'm sure, but god DAMN Recca is awesome. Tough as nails, fast as lightning, and absolute balls-to-the-wall chaos. Sometimes those rare collector's games aren't actually that good; this is not one of those times.
Plus the music is godly.

Mars Matrix is crack on a disc. I can't stop playing even though I always die on stage 4. I love everything about the game: mechanics, control, graphics, music, soundtrack, etc.
What other games did the main people behind MM design after the Dreamcast era?

Nothing that good again - it was crack in a bottle and once you're done snorting it, you just crash.
Even though it's sure to be 10 here that's very cheap imo.
Damn that's cheap! I was expecting $19.99. I'll buy two copies.
Just made my day. Sounds like I can more than afford to give one away in the steam thread or to a friend.
Good news everyone... sorta. The JP version of Overkill just got a new patch that makes my bootleg BrawlStick work correctly. JP ver. 1.01 (12MB). It doesn't seem like th US version is up to date yet. I believe we already got a ver. 1.01, so I guess we're waiting on ver. 1.02.
That being said, OverKill mode is a motherfucker! It wants me to put more bullets into guys that already blew up to get more points? Sheet, that's pretty fucked up bro.
ALSO: Caladrius Blaze is hitting 8/28/14? With new characters and shit? Damn MOSS!

Awesome! I ordered from play Asia, so hopefully mine is not far behind.
Anyone know if it's region free like the last Bullet Soul?
Nice, will double dip. Hopefully the Steam release will work with my joystick (PS360+) natively, I hate futzing around with Joy2Key.

It's only slightly better. I have a friend that plays it pretty often and he mentioned that they upped the max multiplier (to 10x IIRC), but you hit it so early in the stages that you don't really feel the difference. Most of the stage you just wind up at max multiplier for +50% of the stage. He said that if they'd made it x15 or x20 it would be a lot more fun.
There's also additional bonus stages between the existing stages but they're somewhat chore-like mowing down of the same enemies on the same scrolling background.
Character balance has changed a bit, for the better apparently. You can also finally kill the ridiculously bits on Stage 6, which was just absurd on the Xbox360 version.
There are people actively updating the scores in Arcadia recently, so it seems like it has some life in it, even if it's not my particular cup of tea.
And no IIRC the 360 release never got updated with the arcade changes, though they should have tweaked the "bits" on the last stage at least.
