The optional missiles (homing and napalm) help but the laser is best kept for boss battles. Enemies spawn in such large numbers from every corner that it is practically suicide to use the laser. The game is heavily tilted toward the five-way shot. You have two primary options: Vulcan cannon that eventually upgrades to a five-way shot or the more powerful but singularly focused laser. Raiden has a small array of weapons and while functional I wish there were more. Sadly some of that is lost due to the missing two-player coop. It’s surprising how frantic the game can be considering its slower pace than the arcade. Shuffling off to the side is a good tactic to avoid being hit as well. Although enemies spawn on all sides off screen enemies can’t hit you thankfully. The playing field is wider than normal, sort of like a vertical version of Darius. The game isn’t afraid to crowd the screen with enemies and bullets and navigating that chaos is a rush. Raiden isn’t quite a bullet hell shooter but damned if it doesn’t try. What it does have that they don’t is intensity. In fact you could easily mistake it for a Toaplan shooter such as Twin Cobra and Sky Shark. There are better options on this system.Īt first glance Raiden looks rather unassuming.

The Turbo Grafx-16 is not a perfect conversion, missing features and introducing oddities that make it frustrating overall. Even the god damn Jaguar got a version of the game. Raiden was close to R-Type and Gradius’ popularity in the arcade which warranted a large variety of ports. But for old school shooting fans they’ll remember one of the most well-known shooters in the arcade. In Japan, they call it the Super Famicom (SFC).In South Korea, they call it the Super Comboy.To the casual gaming public the name Raiden probably conjures up a certain thunder god in Mortal Kombat. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), or normally called the Super NES or Super Nintendo, is a 16-bit home video game console by Nintendo in 1990 in Japan and South Korea, 1991 in North America, 1992 in Europe and Australasia (Oceania), and 1993 in South America.
