Raiden Fighters Remix Collection Brings 3 Classic Shoot 'em Ups to PlayStation and Switch

You think the Raiden games have great music? Well, the Raiden Fighters have even better tuneage.

Way back in the innocent days of the Xbox 360, a collection called Raiden Fighters Aces allowed gamers to experience the tight gameplay and peppy soundtracks of the Raiden Fighters series. That collection is sadly not backwards compatible, but Raiden Fighters has finally become playable on some modern platforms. The Raiden Fighters Remix Collection from MOSS and H2 Interactive Co. is out now on PlayStation and Switch, and each game on the collection features 2-player local co-op.
