Raiden Series & Spinoffs (1990/2017) SHMUP!

[@Bazilch]

Raiden 2 was the best ever! I was really addicted. :)

[@treksterjsc]

I love Raiden, but was totally blown away when I first played Raiden II. Everything about it was a step above the original especially like little details like when the ships crash to the ground the animation effect was awesome.

[@Hatch4hour]

I was amazed at ground damage effect by debris fell from the enemy aircrafts. of course my favorite is the Cluster bomb effect on Raiden 2

[@TheDannylarson]

Great video, I never knew about Viper Phase 1

[@S2KPHD]

same here....now i gotta try it on MAME

[@nps1016]

Great video, thanks for the post. I didn’t there were so many different versions of Raiden, I put a lot of quarters into the first 3 arcade games. It’s a very addicting game.

[@waynecuff3140]

Viper Phase 1 absolutely brilliant game, never got a console conversion. Thank God for Mame:)

[@chrispacheco8590]

My favorite is Raiden 2, it never seemed to get better than that one outside off cosmetic improvements

[@dahnilama1417]

Another awesome video. Love the Raiden series hope they port some of the more obscure titles to home consoles someday!!

[@raizer3959]

I like Raiden Fighters Series Too bad that Seibu Kaihatsu is gone forever😢

[@Shmup_Art]

Lee Yee Siang Yeah I feel bad they’re gone to

[@adu88889]

raiden khó chơi lắm mà hay

[@zeteroxx]

Love the franchise and the video. I feel like the series was forgotten and unappreciated and I love how you brought it back.

[@bigemugamer]

Raiden III It's because of games like this I searched for and bought a flat panel mount that allows rotation of my 40" screen to portrait mode! Raiden III on PC is an awesome game to play in portrait mode, I'll have to see if Raiden IV or V are on PC. though tbh, Raiden III was a massive graphical improvement over previous instalments and not much has changed with IV and V.

[@footprintthailand9180]

My favorite is Raiden1. So hard but so fun to play.

[@undead02]

Me too love Raiden 1

[@lg2k5]

Reeaaally hard 😐😐😐

[@paxhumana2015]

I prefer Raiden II and that is because of the Giant Purple Plasma D i c k of F u c k Y o u that you can use on the enemy, and combine that with the Homing Missiles, and you can make the Carnassians have a very bad day.

[@paxhumana2015]

Raiden IV and Raiden V both have one as well, though it is green now for some reason.

[@tracyhandy3236]

Seems time for Raiden collection release.

[@KenjiSeang]

240p games on HD monitors... I don't think I really want this, even with fake filters.

[@patrickfischer2932]

I would love if they released this entire collection (they can exclude V, felt too processed and away from the brand's tradition) on the PS4, Xbox, and Switch. The spinoff games were fun to play.

[@carlosl5858]

I just picked up Raiden 3 on steam for $1.49! So much fun!

[@trev1976]

Oh really . I'll check that out

[@paxhumana2015]

Well, Raiden III has a PS2 port as well, and there are also ports of Raiden I and Raiden II under The Raiden Collection/The Raiden Project for the PS1. Also, not only does that also play on the PS2, but that you can also have turbo functions in both games, so you can now just turbo spam enemies and make them regret their long lists of poor life choices. Sadly, no Super Raiden or Raiden DX extras were on that game, though, which is a shame, as I would have love to have played those games with those options as well. Still, the ports of all three games are almost arcade perfect.

[@okuu_utsuho]

From 2D to 3D! I’m very impressed Seibu Kaihatsu.

[@ramoncardenas1503]

Muy buen video de esta Gran serie.

[@maxmatson1578]

I was hoping you'd show the home versions to? like Raiden for the Jaguar!

[@rimaskurt8076]

Muy currado el vídeo compadre.

[@Shmup_Art]

Raiden 2 Arcade and PS is honestly the best one Raiden DX is also great since the Ps version has Viper Phase 1 in it 👍

[@kleberfeoli2454]

Sensacional! 🙋‍♂️🇧🇷

[@adamhebert376]

Out of all of these, I still think Raiden 2 looks the best. The explosions are so nice, and in the later games they look like puffs of smoke.

[@juanfonseca31]

I love The Raiden Project on PS1 because remixed music there sounds awesome, i even downloaded the soundtrack to hear it on my phone, specifically Raiden II soundtrack.

[@paxhumana2015]

I loved playing that game...I miss that game as well.

[@chsraymond2]

the metallic , fire meticulous, explosion sound effect , the sound track, the best for love in this game, no including 3D ....

[@TiagoxInside]

Raiden DX is best physics, best sound efects, best arrange soundtrack! This is God Like Tier Shmup with Radiant Silvergun X360 and Jets n Guns 2!

[@charleschandrablazinger6515]

Finaly. Thank you for uploading!

[@m.b.82]

Ah Raiden.... my wrist hurts just watching this.

[@TwoBlackMarks]

I love Raiden, I have not played all of them, but when I try to play V, there is something with the background moving in a way that really makes me unwell, it looks like that type of "fast backgrounds" already started with Raiden III. I love Raiden 1 and 2, also Raiden Trad on Mega Drive, which was my first Raiden experience, and the spinoffs look really good too, but Raiden III looks to me similar like Raiden V, moving in a way that makes me unwell, very strange, not to mention the movie and people talking to you at the same time.. To me the pinnacle graphic wise seem to be the Raiden Fighters games, they look really awesome. And the best music is the first ones, before it got to much fast paced techno type music. There is something special with the nice music in Raiden I, II and DX, and not to overwhelming speed of the game, you just want to play it, it is just fun.

[@gutspuck721]

I love the music of the original so much!

[@KenjiSeang]

And the PC Engine CD port have such a good soundtrack (far better than the arcade to my ears).

[@peace4myheart]

Raiden 2 is my favorite shmups of all time

[@one100billneoone4]

Choo Choo MotherTrucker I'm with you brother. Love that game. Still have my copy of Raiden Project for the PS1 complete..... And still play it. I grew up playing in the arcades.

[@peace4myheart]

@@one100billneoone4 same. I play it a couple of times a year in tate mode with a game genie code on my PS2.

[@edwardboyz1000]

Yes Great Fans of Raiden Fighters Series and Raiden V STG Project

[@muhammadfairussaputra6897]

YES FINALLY,I FOUND IT,RAIDEN 3 LETS GOOO

[@agag]

I love it.. Raiden... 2D game must try it.

[@Falcon5ive]

These games look great, what graphic settings do you use in Mame, do you have xBRZ or hqnx installed?

[@jimllfaxit]

A remasterd Raiden Fighters would be amazing with updated graphics. I also hope we get Raiden vi sometime

[@WatcherMovie008]

Raiden II, Fighter series, and IV. Never played I, III only just got a few years ago and V was polarizing to the franchise (some hated it, some liked it).

[@toPuPplS]

This franchise deserves an animated/CGI movie/series..

[@marleymcleay9228]

Mad respect for Viper Phase 1. The original Japanese version is very difficult, and I couldn't get past the 5th stage boss. Limited weapons requires complete perfect timing.

[@TheShibbybear]

Thanks for the video, but for some reason the audio seems super compressed and ‘scratchy’ sounding??

[@chengyunma4497]

If the Raiden series has an actual plot, what role will Raiden Mk-ii play in Raiden Fighters? Like Jotaro in Diamond is Unbreakable?

[@cuclis]

No he probado los de Moss, los demás sí, y mi favorito es raiden fighters, sobre todo por la música tan frenética que tiene, que te invita a jugar.

[@trev1976]

I feel ashamed that I've never got round to playing a raiden game. When I do I think it will be raiden fighters jet

[@vincently1995]

30th Anniversary of Raiden (1990-2020)

[@エルデンリング-隻狼]

How did you crt effect witch scanlines?

[@TROldSchoolGamer]

Video Mode: bgfx, Screen Effect: crt_geom_deluxe

[@johngavalas712]

Viper Phase 1 is so damn good but out of the Raiden Series my favorites are Raiden Fighters Raiden 3 4 and 5

[@theraiden9631]

This game was supposed to refund their failure on Dynamite Duke became their flagship.

[@Quadrolithium]

We will never forget that flying aircraft carrier. AND FUCK THOSE SNIPER TANKS

[@leadersuccess3761]

Awesome game thanks ☺

[@melloneeduardo]

Excelente video. Yo jugué solamente a la primera edición de este maravilloso juego y lo he disfrutado muchísimo. Estas ediciones se pueden descargar?

[@arinzenwankwo9597]

The enjoyable arcade games!

[@pnsmexico]

Thank you!!!

[@SAM-ru4vx]

did viper phase 1 ever come out on playstation?

[@TROldSchoolGamer]

no

[@thmasbelfast6854]

Best shmup game!!!

[@WildPumpk1n]

Great video, next step, few notes or sentences during the gameplay 😎

[@herveglandu4847]

A must have game !

[@casekocsk]

Missed the 2D versions... I hope they make more of those... But not bullets hell ones.

[@yahyalaouici9749]

so we are 2.....they destroyed the library with 3d games

[@eadyfaza]

Raiden DX is my favourite

[@dtadeo2006]

Raiden 4 is the best looking one for me

[@carloscesarcardoso2126]

Raiden é Raiden,o resto é conversa!!

[@magalhaes5243]

The best is: raiden 1, 2, dx.... others is good generic shooters. Raiden 1, 2 and dx, epic soundtrack.

[@MsFlyingCake]

V is actually quite good too, just too hard

[@averageradiantreplays7702]

You really never played Fighters series right?

[@SPACE-sw5yy]

1990 SEIBU KAIHATSU

[@EmaSV]

Me acuerdo como gastaba fichas en este tremendo juego!!!!

[@NORMAL-mg3ys]

1993

[@kollenmigiu6085]

Playa this often

[@Diego10-80]

Nice saga Raiden. Thx. I will wait links... ;)

[@MNanme1z4xs]

Raiden5 is fail, I hope Raiden6 go back to classic shmup. If they insist on using dialog during mission, they should be getting some clue from Ace combat, you don;t talk random crap to pilot on mission. Asterbreed also have this problem, they sounds like on a vacation.

[@tommylakindasorta3068]

You can turn off the talking. Just go into the settings and turn it off.

[@thmasbelfast6854]

Raiden V is final series maybe

[@missyou6314]

raiden popular in 1990's earlier so why it is famous because raiden platform easy avoid energy damage graphic is nice and soundtrack is awesome

[@PURPLE-qo6zs]

1990.4.16.

[@JW-7]

It deleted my 20 minutes at once that I didn't feel.

[@Gendo3s2k]

Funny the graphics almost look 32 bit, whole the audio sounds like an NES

[@kerrang2757]

Raiden II is best!

[@MarceloPereira-ei8hl]

Top

[@toPuPplS]

Raiden, Slipheed and Chaos Control should atleast get a flight sim remake..

[@TheAgentloser]

Raiden from Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia Fighting Thunder Tekken Character

[@fei8997]

habia un juego igual a raiden solo que la nave es de otro modelo y un poco mas en 3d

[@twoheadedthingies5000]

Great stuff! Raiden V looks annoying as anything, getting chatted to all the way through, I couldn't be dealing with that.

[@derekbuckler3859]

I know what your saying t, but its actually quite good, the presentation is top notch. Its a lot of fun, and this is coming from someone who grew up in the arcades

[@GamersReckoning]

Raiden 2 Raiden 4 Raiden 3 Raiden 1 That's the order of which ones I like the most. Didn't care for anything in between 2 and 3 or after 4

[@rulostations3056]

Exelent game

[@mati-asstorres9692]

Raiden SKY force ace?

[@thmasbelfast6854]

No

[@thmasbelfast6854]

Hey you forgot Raiden IV: Overkill

[@WatcherMovie008]

Almost identical to Raiden IV, with the exception that it includes all of the missing content that was exclusive to the arcade port and the dlcs come for free with that version.

[@troyfowler4869]

More raiden videos game play

[@SPACE-sw5yy]

2019 ARCADE

[@averageradiantreplays7702]

Fighters best 2D games IV best 3D game.

[@LordPaulusCobris]

To me the best are Raiden 2 and DX, others are not so great, and the jump to 3d.... meh...

[@suntimes9465]

This was the game

[@lancellelvago1254]

Creo que con los gráficos en 3d (Raiden 3 en adelante), el gameplay pierde la magia.

[@Samsgarden]

In other words, Raiden repeated multiple times

[@mdjfusion]

I don't like the 3D gfx of Raiden III-V. The pixel art of the Raiden Fighters series is the best art in the series. Pixel art looks much chunkier and grittier than polygons.

[@ishinjuu91]

there are only 3 real raiden games. 1,2 and dx.

[@abellsatime378]

touhou be like :

[@demetriharlan5887]

That game was the shit.

[@missyou6314]

i need android

[@undead02]

Me also want 🙋🙋

[@lemonsummer8484]

Raiden is a great shooter series collection but in compare to caves dodonpachi Serie Raiden has no chance in Action and score system. The new Raiden parts looks horrible and boring. I prever the older Raiden Parts.

[@KenjiSeang]

Action and scrore system are actually very different. I much prefer the Raiden (old ones) than the cave's danmaku approach.

[@waseslaverkui7563]

Una mierda desde el 90 hasta el 2017

[@ricardolopez4191]

Alguien save como se llama el juego de aviones de esta serie creo no estoy seguro donde lanzas la bomba i te conviertes en un robot tipo i te vas asta arriba de la plataforma para lanzarla gracias!!

[@DanceMan1995]

Creo que te refieres al Sonic Wings 3, ahi un avion se vuelve robot al lanzar su bomba.
