With Zoo releasing the game it probably will come to Europe, too...

lol- that release date looks suspect to me- but maybe I'm wrong? I can't remember hearing that this one was even in the works.

+1 for a nice surprise if it all works out right!

Do I finally get a 360 now...

This game is great. I enjoy it immensely(even though I suck)

To see a release in America would be amazing. I'd pick it up again.

I hope this is true...

Ooh, looks like they can't even get the name right ..

"Raiden: Fighter Aces"

Sweet.

Me too!

I enjoy it immensely
I suck
Seeing it in USA would be amazing
I'll pick it up again
I hope its true

Should be true. A friend of mine has been talking to some guy working at Success back in september or october last year and he already mentioned that they were currently preparing a US conversion. He asked me to not to disclose it though until it's somehow official.

I hope it will be compatible with the Japanese leaderboards...

Wow, good find!

Hopefully this will open the door of localization to all other 360s STGs.

Wow, I wasn't expecting this...Raiden IV, maybe, but not this. Anyways, if this collection arrives with all the trimmings intact then US shmuppers will have plenty to celebrate.

but this is just some dude selling stuff on amazon, who doesn't even know the title of the game. need more sources.

I've seen trailers on youtube for raiden fighters aces that are offical trailers like this one:

i think we are just looking for proof its coming to US via reliable source.

I thought it was coming to the US as an xbox live game, but is it now a retail release?

Imagine how long US Shmuppers have been waiting for a release of a Raiden Fighters game on a home console. Almost 13 years since the release of the First RF until this year. About time.

I may get a 360 just for this gem.

hasn't the world waited almost as long?

The world had to wait almost one year after Japan got RF Aces.

I'll have to pick it up again too, RFJ was the first shmup i ever palyed and i have to stay loyal to it. I sincerely doubt it, but does anyone know if it will it be bundled with the superplay?

Muhahaha

There is a chance this game is gonna get a bigger price cut and we may find it for a bargain price.

I just have that feeling. 1 Down a couple more to go!!

Hmm, but what's preventing you from getting a JP 360...?

Anyway, good news if it's true (which it seems be). It's from Amazon directly, as well as Buy.com (http://www.buy.com/prod/raiden-fighter- ... 33975.html), 2 sites where they immediately list what distributors tell them well in advance of news sites and many other retailers.

Me, I've got the JP game with the superplay so no big deal but I guess I'll get this version as well.

There is no doubt in my mind that this game will make it to the US. Amazon.com IS a reliable source. Amazon also revealed Senko no Ronde with Ubisoft as the publisher. Go to this thread to see http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=12412&highlight=wartech .

Yeah, I doubt it's going to be a huge success for them. Still good to see somehow that companies take the risk to release such ports. Though after all I actually don't care much since I own the Japanese version anyway.

looks promising. hard to resist for $30. I never wanted to put down $60+ for the JP version but I could pay $30 on a heart beat.

Watch it end up being region locked to the US, so guys who bought JP 360s get screwed .. :/

Just the lower half of the board I think...

Bill

Well, it's about damn time another bona-fide console shmup title is released in the USA for the XBox 360. I'm quite content to play Raiden Fighters PCB as it was originally meant to be played with the appropiate arcade hardware setup. ^_~

And will the Raiden Fighters Superplay DVD be included with the USA localization this time around?

PC Engine Fan X! ^_~

Ouch, burned.

Play-Asia has the Jpn region listed at $74.95 new (+ shipping). $30 is a steal (especially considering for RF1 /2 /3 you'd be looking at $350-450 buying the pcbs I think).

I say pre-order away fellas! Don't wait for this one to hit any kind of bargain bin. Support this effort-

It'd suck if this game went "eBay rare" and couldn't be had for under $100. (what if what if, I know )

I'll buy it in a heartbeat if it does hit the US.

Hmm... I'll have to pick up a VGA cable for my 360 while I'm at it.
