US Raiden Fighters Aces - Boxart & Trailer - $20 - OUT NOW!

[Flak Beard]

Update: Raiden Fighters Aces for the US is out!



This one could be hard to find later. Grab it while you can!

That's what I'd guess. One of those videos like the "Ikaruga players you will never even be 1% as good as" video.

I'm guessing it's pretty official now, RFA is coming stateside...



Can't wait!

By the way, the trailer mentions "Bonus Footage of Japanese Players". Is this the special disk that came with the Japanese version of RFA?

I Would assume so.

The DVD that comes with the Japanese version is titled "The Onslaught" Raiden Fighters Special edition. Good to see this is getting a proper USA release finally. I know a ton of people who will pick this up for sure.

Yeah, really happy for all of you... glad you're getting it for less than half what I paid.. great, congrats.. not bitter at all.

Seriously, it truly amazes me that this is coming stateside. It's great news for all of us. I have literally told all of my domestic 360 friends to pick up this title ASAP.

I'm just waiting on an official date for Raiden 4 (if it comes over at all)

You're not living in PAL-territory, you have no right to be bitter

I am glad it is coming here, but also glad that it didn't until now. Had I waited and seen this, I might not have ever purchased my import 360, and just been content with a trickle of shooters. Raiden Fighters Aces was my gateway to all the other great shooters the Japan 360 has to offer. Now, all my friends that message me and ask me stuff like, "What are all those games with Japanese lettering on them?" I can tell them that one of the games is out here and to try it for themselves. Heck, if it somehow counts as a seperate game, and I can get the achievements twice, I might buy the domestic version too, just to show my support for shooters being released here.

Unfortunately, it looks like the game has been pushed back to April 7th.

[Flak Beard]

Damn, pushed back again! Looks like May 5 is the new (supposed) release date.

[dlmvii]

This is looking to be a lot like the Ultimate Shooting Collection for the Wii
Lots and lots of pushing back the release date.
Please come to me soon

Definitely picking this one up..hope it sells well enough to bring Raiden IV and some other great Japanese 360 shmups to the states..

edit: price has been dropped to $19.99!
