Video: Raiden V: Director's Cut Treated To A New And Hectic Switch Trailer

I hope this sells awesomely so they might consider a complete Raiden anthology. Heck, I would gladly buy the entire Seibu Kaihatsu back catalog.

Wow you weren't kidding about Hectic

Would be interested in the fighters games

I already have this one and Moss other recent shmup Caladrius Blaze preordered.

This looks great but doesn’t look anywhere near as good as the Raiden Fighters games. I have the Arcade versions of these amazing titles. Also the spin off from the Raiden series Viper Phase 1.

Have this on Steam since day 1. Definitely double dip on Switch. I am SHMUP addict.

I have very fond memories, playing the original game as a kid, at the laundry mat while my mom did the laundry.

I'm definitely interested in picking up Raiden V for the Switch, can't wait to play it.

Already have pre ordered with the cd

Yawn. literally the worst game in the series.

Any TATE mode available?

Another game with a tiny vertical screen. Other similar titles look great in full screen; at the very least they could have given us a bit more real estate or made it optional from the main Settings.

@AstralOrange The levels are sooooooooooooo long in this it literally becomes boring. I found it very difficult to finish the game and that had nothing to do with the difficulty of the game. There are no interesting set pieces or wow moments. It's very lengthy and ultimately dull. I own every version of Raiden with several on arcade and this one is poor. I have played it once all the way through a second time to see if maybe i was wrong and thats it. never again. If you haven't already get yourself caladrius instead.

I've gotten two preordered. One to open and one to collect.

@AstralOrange Caladrius is fantastic, literally one of the all time greats and for a fairly new game that is saying soemthing. Imagine if Castelvania were a shoot-em-up and your half way there.

Sky Force proved that a vertical shooter can work just fine on a wide screen display. I'm kind of tired of so many promising shmups being limited to the narrow display and expected to be played in TATE mode.

On a sidenote, while i wouldn't put it as harshly, YANDMAN is right, Caladrius Blaze (from the same developers) is way better then Raiden V.

Yeah, Caladrius Blaze is fun. I've enjoyed it anyways. I can't vouch for, or criticise Raiden V though cuz I haven't tried it yet.

The Series went downhill since Raiden III when ever Shmup went bullethell. Would love to see Raiden, Raiden II, Raiden DX ( even more Twin Cobra ) but Raiden V was just a waste of money & time for me.
