This is seeming a lot more like a reality! Awesome news for the shmup starved PAL crew! I might buy a copy just to show support.

Good news for you guys, definitly the most played 360 game for me. Anybody else think this game looks better on a tated crt with component rather than playing it in tate mode on a HD TV?

Best news ever . . .if all us Brits buy it (why not at that price :?: ) they might consider Raiden IV and the Cave ports. If it's as good as everyone in the NTSC territories say then nobody who buys it is going to be disappointed - that's fer sure :D
Shoot, dodge, collect . . .it's the ONLY way to be !!

I am a bit concerned due to the fact that I can only find this game at play.com uk no where else in europe.
I hope they don't go 505 Game street on us and that its pretty much impossible to find the game outside the "major" PAL countries.

ShopTo.net seem to be promoting it quite heavily with big banners etc.

£16.85 btw, plus they take PayPal.

It's pretty weird how Europe has gotten zilch shmups for the 360. Well, hopefully this will start a trend.

I think all regions should have the same leaderboard.

There are some threads on their FACEBook due to it being to only way to contact them but they seem to ignore any question related to Raiden Fighter Aces.

I didn't get a notice about shipping today so I assume the Amazon UK date is wrong.

Seems like annoying the crap out of them on FACEBOOK is the only thing that will produce results.
