Yup, mine just turned up from Play Asia yesterday, on night shifts this week and only had chance to play for an hour or so, but get my days off as of tomorrow morning and looking forward to putting some quality time in.
PS4 and Switch continue to be two of the best shmup consoles of all time. I bought this for PS4 as well as Akai Katana and Toaplan Hishou Same Same Same for Switch. Hopefully PlayAsia ships this tomorrow to me! Great time for shooter fans! Looking forward to DoDonPachi DOJ and the next Toaplan collection from M2.
this one's definitely on my radar looking forward to its US release! the lack of extra content does kinda suck, but truth be told it's not something I'd miss that much especially in the case of these I'm not super familiar with most of them. I did buy raycrisis on original PS for my cousin back in the 2000s when it was out, seemed like a pretty fun shmup so would be cool to revisit it in this collection.
Yeah, the lack of bonus content isn't a huge, but I think about something like the Raiden Mikado remixes that feature newly arranged music and additional gameplay modes, and I think something like that could've been cool here, but as it is this is still an awesome collection that I've been playing for hours on end.
@@MadPanicGaming oh for sure I can't wait to get R3MM (although I hear the laser sound effect could use a patch fix?) but even if ray'z doesn't have anything like that it sounds like it'll be just fine without it.
Yesssss! Same here. Was already a huge fan of these games. Once I heard M2 was behind the ports, this was an instant pre-order for me. Should have my copy in another week or two, along with some other goodies which were waiting to ship out. :-) Not sure if Play-Asia does the affiliate link thing, but you should drop some affiliate links with some of these new release videos if possible, or maybe look into getting a channel promo code through them.
These are my favorite shoot em ups, I remember bringing both layer section and radiant silver gun back from japan in 2008 and despite both being great games I found i prefered layer section despite it being a fraction of the price of RS.... not all great Saturn games have to be expensive
anyway in normal mode it fills the game window from top to bottom keeping aspect ratio? also in vert mode does it fill the screen keeping its aspect ratio? as if not then im proper not happy
Raystorm screen size looks too small. Is there an option to fill top and bottom while retaining the aspect ratio, ie, still has side bars? I remember ps3 raystorm HD lets you fills to the top and bottom. It's easier on the eyes.
Glad its great, M2 are the gold standard. Made me chuckle a bit seeing your title, 'Its Here!' Well for me it isn't, and not sure when it will be as I preordered it from Strictly limited games! ;-)
i think i like the pixelated look more than the cleaner look... old school games can sometimes be ugly but the ugliness becomes part of the charm i guess
¥7,500 bit steep. I got burned buying the Japanese versions of Darius Cozmic Collection and G-Darius HD that were half off within a few mths. I'll wait, got too many priority M2 games to buy this yr! Get the Castlevania DLC for Dead Cells. Best DLC in a long time.
It still has to be noted that the game still can crash when you use R Gray 2 on RayStorm. At the moment of this comment being posted, M2 is still investigating the issue. This is the first time I see any crash on an M2 port :( Otherwise it's a stellar port.
The problem with the switch version: it's full of slowdown and occasional stuttering, and if you are like me playing this games since ps1 versions you'll find unbearable. Nobody in the online reviews seems to notice that and it's a shame. Especially Raystorm in this collection is really bad since is loosing frames constantly. Also the 'NEO HD' version is very bad in comparison to the remastered ps3, xbox360 versions. Really delusional. I'll sell it on the e.bay since i got pysical copy of this thing .
@@MadPanicGaming Same, I think my copy was right around $45 or so though Play-Asia after some 5% discount. Hard to beat, especially since the ports are handled by M2.
Jim talking about shooters on a Sunday. Exactly what I wanted to hear when relaxing.
Raystorm is a fun one!
Lol, happy I can help you relax
My copy is already in the mail and headed this way. I am pumped.
Agreed!
RayForce is my favorite Shoot em’ up of all time, followed by RayStorm Neo HD.
Love this series. I still fire up Ray Storm on the PS1 all the time.
Every game in the series is awesome and having these HD versions is especially cool.
Nice! Waiting for my import to arrive this week.

Definitely, I've been playing so many shooters lately, my Switch has been mostly a shmup machine for the past two or three years.
Love that t-shirt, i pre ordered ray`s from strictly limited here in UK.
I don't own a modern console, but I do have the trilogy, the first two games in various formats.
I had all of them individually, but I sold the bulk of my collection recently so having all of these games in one collection is quite nice.
So glad this was released. A great collection indeed 😊😊😊

Amazon also has it for pre-order in NA, but it will be a longer wait for release.

Damn they look great
It's a damn fine collection
I really really hope this gets an NA release or even an eShop release! I must play this collection on my Switch.
for a few years i've wanted some of these games especially ray crisis.. so maybe i can get this if its not too limited
I've only played the first one
That's my favorite in the series, but they're all awesome

Actually, the copy I got was about $46 after conversion rate, I didn't go for the collector's edition.

Has it been fixed today June 20th?
cool cool, but I'm not a fan of the lock-on mechanic, it's just an additional thing I have to focus on, I'd rather not
That's fair

*Let me guess, this collection is Japan-only isn't it?*
Yeah but it's in English and easy enough to import if you're interested.
Can get all the original games cheaper than that.
I got my copy for about $46, not too bad for the quality and the play time
