Raiden IV Characters

Post by Radiant Hero »

How do you unlock the extra ship and the fairy within Raiden IV? I see their silhouettes within the character menu, but they cannot be opened at this time. Please don't tell me that they have to downloaded. :(
I don't play games, I experience them.

Marketplace purchase.

Unfortunately, you unlock Fighting Thunder Mk-II and Fairy with a Japanese Live Arcade Points Card. :(

I got Raiden IV in the mail yesterday, and it could not have been better timing. My cousin that loves to play the Raiden games with me was here for a visit with his fiance. My girlfriend was over for dinner too. Once they went to bed, we logged into Xbox Live and played the heck out of the game until we beat it in co-op mode. It was a real treat to experience it for the first time together like that. I downloaded the two extra "ships" with points I had on my Japanese account. The ship is the one from Raiden I and II, and upgrades and controls like it did in those games. The bomb has to be detonated a few seconds before you need it and everything. Not very condusive to Raiden IV's frenzied speed, but a nice bonus for a challenge nonetheless. I have not played as the Fairy yet, and probably won't for some time. It doesn't much appeal to me.
