Raiden Fighters/Trivia


 * Bad Export for You: Raiden Fighters 2 2000 is easier than Raiden Fighters 2, and the hardware was simpler (i.e. cheaper), sacrificing the sound quality. Why is this a bad export? One would assume that since it was primarily for the Chinese market, the cost needed to be dropped. Ironically, this inferior sound sounds better in MAME, since the better-sounding sound is not yet fully emulated (the intended generally-upbeat techno sounds like hokey hardcore techno instead).
 * Fan Nickname:
 * Sniper Tanks: Pretty much a regular feature in Seibu's Shmups and the cause of frustration for players.
 * Toothpaste Gun (the Raiden mk-II's Plasma Beam).
 * Restart Fighters: The series itself, due to the high frequency at which high-level players restart a game, due to how punishing bad starts are in this series.
 * Missile Curtain: The Chaser planes' charged Missile weapon attack, which unleashes a flurry of missiles at hapless enemies.
