Wow I'm so sorry this hasn't worked for you all. I love all three sites and pure xbox is the first site I read when I come home from work each day. I'll truly miss you all and your great reviews and articles. I wish there was something I or we could do to help you keep it alive and get you some income. It's not a lot but I'd be happy to contribute monthly via patreon if you want to try that route. If you think there are enough readers at least. I'll keep checking back so if you try something like that I'll see it an be a part. Good luck to you all with whatever you do next.

retail in japan only and i wouldn't get my hopes up too much for this one. i have the import and didn't find it really anything to get excited about. cant put my finger on it, but I enjoyed last generations raiden games much much more than this one.

Sad news, but understandable since the new consoles have been out a few years now. I still use and love mine and will likely buy 1-2 spares to keep for years to come.

Didn't care for the first game, I'll pass on this one.

This could work and work well given how fast technology updates now. I just don't see it happening this console generation. This kind of addon needs to be thought of beforehand and normally there are expansion ports in the console for it like the saturn ram slot, n64 expansion pack, Famicom disk system port, etc, etc. The only thing the xbox has now is USB and there isn't enough bandwidth for anything meaningful to connect externally that way. I see this happening on the next consoles and being something similar to the mxm graphics modules like nvidia offers for their mobile graphics cards or a similar exchangeable module...either internally or something using a high speed external port like thunderbolt 3 or whatever is on the horizon. I may be wrong, but I just don't think usb 3.0 is going to be able to help us add any power to the Xbox one. Maybe there is an internal option I'm not aware of or maybe a large enough external USB graphics/memory module could work. Who knows.

Any word on digital vs retail for Western fans? I should have my Japanese copy any day now but I love Raiden enough that I'd happily double dip if they released a physical copy here as well.

I know. Dammit...

I don't see what his reply to the question would make anyone believe this game is coming to Xbox, especially when Sony is helping with publishing? I'm all for it of course, the more exposure it gets then the better it will sell. Time will tell.

There's really only two things that come to my mind when we talk about a publisher or developer collection and that one by cave and one by Hudson. I'd love a cave collection similar to what Japan got as well as a soldier collection by Hudson on xbox one. I know the soldier collection was released for psp, but I mean all of the soldier series and updated to 1080p. Let's get the n64 and wii game on there as well as all the pc engine games and the updated star soldier that was released on ps2, GameCube, and psp. These would make my little shmup heart very happy. 😂

Digital only I assume?

Doesn't look bad, although the weapon wheel was difficult to understand since the icons all looked through same. I'll keeps my eyes on this one.

$150 US, I'll have to pass. While I loved the first game and will pick this up day 1, that's just too expensive. It's on the us square Enix store though for anyone who wants it.

@Spooke2k I agree. I played it on ps4, but I'll happily play it again on xbox one prior to the new one coming. ☺

Hopefully it's coming to the states. I've been thinking of importing the japanese PS3 version, but I'd much rather have it on Xbox 360 as I prefer that controller. English story and menus would be awesome as well, although not a deal breaker, I have plenty of japanese shmups already with varying english in their menus.

@Anthinator thank you for the quick answer. Makes sense although as a collector it's frustrating to think of buying a physical copy without all the games on it. At some point years from now the servers won't be available for you to download those 360 games again. Oh well I'm pretty sure I have physical copies of all their 360 games already anyway so for me it's not a deal breaker. It still would have been nice of them to just put them on two discs if needed. Dlc we all know won't be available for ever, but the actual games should be included if at all possible.

Thanks again for the answer though.

Does that mean even if you buy the physical disc that you don't get every game on it? You'll need to download the 360 games from the marketplace? Or are you simply saying download from the disc to your Xbox? I know all games on the Xbox one and ps4 require the full game to be installed on the hard drive but the term used of download makes it confusing.

Looks interesting. Reminds me of senran kagura without the teasing focussed on 12 year olds.

This isn't bad at all. Also for anyone interested, I saw titanfall for Xbox one for $20 at SAMs today.

Okay this looks very cool. Very reminiscent of heretic like you said. Makes me think, whoever owns Hexen and heretic rights needs to do a remake or reimagining of those awesome games.

Hopefully they are working on a new single player game. I do applaud the option of buying the retail game then not paying a monthly fee, but we all know how well that works out for games. They ended up unbalanced and become pay to win and then finally a free mmo for a couple years before they are shut down. Good luck with this Bethesda.

I've been playing Golden Sun for gameboy advance on the retron 5 so far. Although I have basically every console from the last few generations including Xbox one and ps4, I've really been enjoying these older titles in my collection lately. Retron 5 makes them all look great on the tv as well, which definitely doesn't hurt.

Awesome, thanks purexbox and Microsoft! Good luck everyone but especially me.

Also yes, matches are very short at least with my lame skills. Most were less than 5 minutes which probably wouldn't be an issue if we didn't have to wait so long to start the next one.

I've never been into PvP but got the invite for this as well as destiny alpha and beta. I didn't buy destiny because it had no story and this is way worse. Graphics are very nice but I have payed about 5 games as the monster and couldnt get into it. No talking at all but maybe hunters talk and I don't hear them, not sure. I think I heard their characters shouting out fund him when they spotted me a couple times but I don't think it was a person's voice, just in game sounds. No tutorial at all either which sucks, you pick a couple powers them it dumps you into the game to try to remember what button does what. I just ended up in traps and harpoon and wiped out. I might just suck though lol. Good luck to everyone else, I'm not saying it's not a good game as I'm sure it will be it's just not my cup of tea. I'm not going to ignore the chance to test an alpha or beta though. I'll give them my input but in the end, it's a beautiful game if you're really into all PvP and I'm sure a lot of people are nowadays. Have fun everyone playing it.

Looks fun and is love to play it. I just can't justify the cost right now with so many games already pre ordered for October. Maybe I'll get lucky and some nice soul will give me a copy. 😊

Never played it. If its a prequel it sounds like I need to grab it and play it before my master chief collection so I'll be in proper order. Nice to see a AAA title for free too.

Just wish it was on xbox one or ps4. The game was on pc, heck all of them were. It should be easy to port them to the current Gen consoles and put them all on 1-2 blurays. $50-$60 for all bioshock games in 1080p would be great.

Absolutely, more halo at 1080p/60fps would be great. I'd pre order it.

% off isn't a big help when reading the article. It would be helpful to some list the prices if you're going to make this news. Just my 2cents though. ☺
