Raiden IV Coming to the U.S.!
UFO Interactive gives us the scoop.
On the 2/26/2007 episode of the Team Fremont Live podcast, Product Manager for UFO Interactive, Chong Ahn, came on to discuss the upcoming North American release of Raiden III for the PlayStation 2.
In addition, Mr. Ahn let slip that UFO Interactive is currently working on a domestic release of the arcade title Raiden IV, which they plan on releasing stateside for the Xbox 360. He stated that it has yet to be decided whether the game will be a retail release or downloadable through the Xbox Live Arcade, but the thought of another solid shooter with achievements and leaderboard support is exciting news for shmup fans starved for quality domestic releases.
Hit this link for the official Japanese Raiden IV website, where you'll find...a pretty logo. In addition, check out Insomnia's report on the arcade localization project from Shinjuku, which includes videos and pictures.
For more, be certain to check out the full interview, found here in the 2/26/2007 episode of Team Fremont Live. And don't forget that March is "National Shmuppreciation Month" here at Team Fremont. Get in on the shoot-em-up celebration going on here.
Raiden III is scheduled for a March release for the PlayStation 2 at an MSRP of $29.99. Stay tuned for more information on Raiden IV.
