Amazon and GameFly list Raiden Fighters Aces for North America

by Xav de Matos { Jan 29th 2009 at 1:40PM }

According to listings on both Amazon and GameFly, Japanese shooter Raiden Fighters Aces may see life Stateside. Back in March, a demo for the top-down shooter landed on the Japanese Xbox Live Marketplace for all of our phantom accounts to enjoy but, we didn't think the retail game would ever hit North America. The product pages, discovered by Verbal Spew, list two separate publishers: GameFly notes Valcon Games, the house that brought Daisenryaku to North America, will publish, while Amazon lists Zoo Games as the import culprit.

No official word on the listings yet, but we're hopeful the shooter will eventually find its way to our Xbox 360s.

Sweet! $30 is a perfect price point for this. I remember playing Raiden on a dusty stand-up while waiting for my laundry to run at university. Great days! Love me some old school shm'ups.

I hope they're not planning on selling this for more than $10.

Considering I was the tipster the last time, you can bet I will be all over this one.

I have no problem paying 29.99 for this 3-pack. The demo STILL sits on my drive because I love this game that much.

XBox 360 - In celebration, the old footnote returns to share its joy!

This is a 3 game compilation. So at around $10 per game, this sure as hell beats the over $60 asking price in Japan. I have Triggerheart, Ikaruga, Rez, et al. As a shooter fan, this game is as good as bout. I'm just waiting for R-Type now.
