- The Raiden series has been a staple of the SHMUP genre for decades, and it's about time I ranked each and every entry in the series from worst to best. Join me as I take a look at every Raiden game and decide which are worth your time, and which ones you're better off skipping.

A friend of mine had Raiden Fighters at his studio for a while. I was scared to turn it on incase I got electrocuted, but I wish I played it more. It was balls hard, though! Another great video, Wiggles

I didn't play a lot shmups in the 90s when a quarter would last so much longer on platformers and fighters. That being said, it was always fun getting mugged by Raiden Fighters. Jet is definitely best in the series. Nice video, BTW.
Same here, tough for me it was more a matter of not much choice, i started frequenting arcades a lot early nineties so yeah, beat em up, 2d fighters, and sports games (usually 2-3 soccer games!) were the ones i saw most. Altought i was definitely a creature of habit, some nba jam, t2 arcade game and streetfigher and the money was usually gone.......also really liked caddilacs vs dinosaurs!
Thanks. Gives me a good idea of the differences in the series. Nice soundtracks!
Great video man. I've recently played CYGNI as it was free on the epic store but it didn't feel as good as Sky Force Reloaded, so i was searching for others shmup to try and this video comes in clutch. Also, if you have any other games to suggest like SFR, I would really appreciate them
Cool video 🙂I've recently been dipping my toes into the shmup genre on my Saturn and def prefer vertical ones - temped to try that collection on 360, I didnt know that existed but have heard from a variety of places the 360 is an unexpecting treasure trove of shmup games
Thanks for driving up the price of Raiden Fighters Aces…but seriously, wasn’t aware of this game, awesome video as always
I wish my channel was popular enough to sway game prices lol.
You're lucky you got the Fighters collection on the 360 in the US, wish it had come to UK/Europe. Love Viper Phase 1 though, agree with your placement. Would be fantastic if M2 produced a port of VP1 and the Raiden Fighters games for modern consoles!
Interesting ranking, my top 5 would probably be Raiden DX- Raiden Fighters 2- Raiden IV - Raiden - Raiden II. DX mostly is at the top since you can optimize flashing medal/miculus collection & works pretty well for the revamped levels for scoring.
First off, enjoy your vids quite a bit, exactly the genres and systems i like seems to be covered a lot with humor and fast/good editing so whats not to love? Tried out Viper phase one yesterday and i guess i went in with 'Raiden in space' but hmmm the gameplay does deviate a bit mostly based on the weapon types (which you did mention) i am curious though what the link is? This the first time i heard it mentioned as Raiden spin off? Do agree it looks very nice indeed and will def play it more.
It definitely feels and looks like a classic Raiden game to me, and it was also created by the same dev team. I'm assuming the programming underneath the space theme and gameplay is probably the same or very similar to Raiden II also. On top of that, it's pretty universally considered part of the Raiden franchise despite lacking the name in its title.
Wiggles!
You missed a game. Don't worry, though. It's only the best one in the series. It's called Raiden Fighters: Jet 2000. It improves upon literally EVERYTHING Raiden Fighters: Jet has to offer. Enjoy.
It's the number 1 game bozo
@@wigglesarcade8261 No, it isn't. You put Raiden Fighters: Jet in that spot, not Jet 2000. Have you played it? It's basically an upgraded version of the game as Raiden DX is to Raiden 2.
@@varthfalchion6402 Jet 2000 is the same game mechanically as Jet, just on cheaper hw with worse sound for the Chinese market.
@@ubervirtuoso If what you say is true, then why have I played it so many times in more than 1 place in the USA? Also, since when was the sound in that version of the game so bad on real arcade hardware? Emulation might not always deliver the right results, but the arcade original always does. The sound and music were actually quite crisp in my experiences with it. I would have been the 1st to criticize it, had it indeed been as you have said it was, but it was really quite the opposite for me. While it is true that the mechanics are essentially the same as its direct predecessor, which is largely to be expected, it has a much greater selection of aircraft made available to the player.
@@wigglesarcade8261 I do apologize for coming off as rather pretentious in my initial comment. That was not called for at all.
