Raiden IV details resurface: confirmed to come out in September for Japan

There was much buzz when Raiden IV for the Xbox 360 was revealed early last year, but it eventually died down because we didn't hear anything on it anymore. Still, many fans of this arcade shooter kept their fingers crossed anxiously awaiting anymore details that might surface.

And now all those cramped, crossed fingers this past year is finally reaping the benefits as news once again surfaces on Raiden IV, and this time you bet it's sweeter. Much sweeter.

Here's what's said to be i the Xbox 360 port:

New Xbox 360 mode - challenges may be readjusted for home users plus two completely new stages (upping the count to eight in all). This is an addition to the Arcade mode that is made to be a faithful port of the original.

However, despite all that exciting news, we are left wondering if the announcement last year from UFO Interactive that Raiden IV is coming to the U.S. still stands today. All we've heard now is that it will be shipped to Japanese stores September of this year, for Â¥ 7140 (about US$ 66), but no word on North American release dates, or a plan at least.

Just keep checking back here for more updates. We'll be sure to put it up for your information as soon as we receive more.
