Raiden - Atari Jaguar

Raiden is one of my favorite shoot-em-ups of all time. It was also one of my overall favs on the Jaguar.
It's a good shmup and well worth the low price you should be able to pay for it.
It has everything a shmup needs - fast action and power-ups.
Go buy it and enjoy it like I do.

The SNES version is better. I mean the Jaguar has a better game play and graphics, but the music is way better on the SNES.

@melvoin

I'm sure playstation has a version of raiden? I may be mistaken but I do have raiden somewhere with the red ship on the front (PAL RELEASE)

@humanyoyo69 Your a dumbass.

Anyway if you had ever used a jagar you would know that the jaguar controller is actually not remotely uncomfortable. At least, not as bad as the n64 pad.

Lets just say the Jaguar is capable of an arcade perfect port of Raiden (and then some for that matter), but the coders werent, hehe. Still it is a pretty unique port and i really like it.

FM Towns version isnt really arcade perfect, its missing some subtle graphical details here and there. And yes its soundtrack was the best of any port, which is why its my favorite version, even ahead of the arcade perfect PS1 port, hehe.

Imagitec Design did a good job to port this game to the Jag, I think no japanese videogame developer (in this case, the Seibu Kaihatsu, creators of Raiden) would be interested in an american console in the 90's (but now check the XBox series, some japanese houses are making games for this console), and it's such a shame, because the Jag needed a better library. Raiden was quite cool.

Ah, that explains it. (This is ephiany1; I was borrowing a friend's account to make comments before.) For some reason, when I searched "Raiden" on GameFAQs, all it came up with was the Jaguar and Arcade versions. No results for TG-16,Genesis,or SNES, not even as "fair matches". Their search engine must have had a glitch that day.
