Ummm... unless its in a flashblocked-part of the page, I don't see anything about Raiden or Irem.

All I wanna know is if this bundle includes X-Multiply.

[Aisha]

No X-Multiply from what I can see; shame, if it was there I'd jump on this bundle as soon as goes live.

How accurate are the Raiden games in this bundle, compared to the Japanese region PCBs? I can't get a sense of it from the Raiden Legacy PC thread here, but it looks like the overall reception wasn't great. Did DotEmu ever get around to fixing all the program bugs (crashes, etc)?

From what I understand, controls, audio, and video tear problems seems to be present. Better get Raiden Fighters Aces istead since it is as close to the arcade port.

Taking this slightly off-topic but If I want to get Raiden Fighters Aces, what are my options?
My XB360 is PAL but I have a JP account as well and varied success purchasing from the live store using imported points. Some games did work, others I couldn't buy.

Or is there a PC release out perhaps? Not counting the one in this thread.

Both the US and JP release are region locked. You have 2 options: Get a hacked 360 and import either version, or import a 360 and then buy a copy of Raiden Fighters Aces from the same region.

Aw. I was hoping it wouldn't come to that, oh well. Import/modded 360 is on the list of things to get. Sometime.

No steam keys? No buy.

Yeah, Raiden Legacy sucks - even with the one patch they put through there was still quite a few crash/framerate issues and some stuff as stupid as going to Stage 1 again after beating Stage 1 in RF1 (no, that isn't a typo). Last I heard Irem Arcade Hits wasn't much better, and they both use stolen MAME code.

I ended up buying a J360 with Raiden Fighters Aces and Raiden IV from rancor. Get in touch with him about it.

unfortunately the same applies here

wonder if its all to do with gabe taking alot more % of the profits per sale of the game than say desura

[BPzeBanshee]

With Steam IIRC it's a negotiated agreement between the developer and Steam themselves, per game. To do it for a bundle of games would be a hell of a lot of organising there - much easier with these to do it elsewhere.

Also, from what I heard, the negotiated average price for Steam's share is indeed higher than Desura. Not sure how much of this is hearsay though.
