Has anyone tried the US version in a Japanese 360?


yeah, it's locked. my friends copy didn't boot in my japanese console.


Double conformation.

I just try this in my Japanese 360 and it is locked out. Now to hook up my USA console.

For Davey, if you'd like you may adopt my Japanese copy Wink

Well anyways, off to play Very Happy

So, now to wait for a European release that will never ever come

Unbelievable. This was my last great hope that maybe I wouldn't have to save up for a JAP 360 after all if there were going to be a slow trickle of english releases for these games. It's a shoot-em up for crying out loud, of all the genres that should be region free so a single release can take advantage of as many sales as possible (because we all know that it won't get enough sales to warrant a second, PAL release), then it's this. Sigh.

This dropped through my door this morning along with Death Smiles and DS hasn't had a look in! Absolutely loving this game and it certainly took my mind off the pain from having my wisdom tooth taken out.

Top scores are about 4million on each game with the standard settings, so I'm still a bit poo!

i am still fairly optimistic about this getting a UK release - if 505 games can publish games like AX train (sp), i'm sure this is coming

Someone on the staff had told me in a reply that there are "currently no plans" to localise it, but "the input will be passed on". Still, A-Train could be considered an 'obscure' game for this territory, whereas RFA is more well known, so there's still hope.

They also published Battle Fantasia, as well as A Train HX, so I guess anything is possible regarding a PAL release for this.

i'm sure localization would be pretty easy (being a shooter)/limited japanese, if any

secondly the Raiden francise has be going for years, its not as if its a relatively unknown.

if 505 can release totally obsure games, then this is a no brainer really,

fingers crossed any how

[charlesr]

LOL. 160th on the Live scoreboards on my first go. I'm guessing not many people bought this.....

[Kubrick]

Probably not, but I suspect you'd be placed lower if the rankings were universal.

Surely now it's been translated, all it would need is PAL region coding on the disc to release it over here?

Yeah, that's what I meant. I'd be a lot lower if the rankings included Japan.

Picked this up last week and I can't believe what I've been missing out on. I downloaded the demo ages ago but never really connected with it ... but I tried the demo again last week and something just clicked. Picked up a copy on Wednesday and I've played nothing else since.

The difficulty curve is perfect. I play all my shooters using only 1 credit (maybe why I've never finished one ) and eeking that little bit more out every time is a total joy.

Playing 2 the most so far and I don't know what exactly it is about it but it's so close to perfection. And to think I've been ignoring it all this time.
