Raiden Looping Difficulty Increases?

Post by DatPhosphorGlow »

Just learned today about the difficulty increase when looping the original Raiden games (I, II, DX).

Do all three of them have the loop difficulty increase?

For how many continuous loops does difficulty continue to increase? It must stop at some point right?

Not that I'm anywhere near getting that far into these games, just found it a nice surprise that there's more to these games than I originally knew about.

Raiden I - no difficulty rank cap afaik, bullet speed eventually becomes hitscan. Original JP version rank increases faster than the international/US version.

Raiden II/DX- difficulty caps in loop 4.
