Ah, so Valcon is doing the localization. Based on games they've released in the past, we could be waiting for some time for this. Still, should be worth the wait to finally get this in NA.

Any one know if the US Raiden Fighters Aces will contain the USA versions of the games? (two loops, short miclus timers…)

A whole lot of yes for this! Let's hope it happens! The jp varsion has online co-op and boss rush mode. Man can you imagine boss rush mode co-op in RF1?! The bosses are enormous! Man I can't wait!!! ARRRRGGH!

It's going to be a while...anyone who waited for Valcon to release Daisenryaku VII for PS2 (like I did) should know what to expect. Their site is useless too, unless you like porn bots.

Holy shit! That's the first update to their site since Daisenryaku came out (over 6 months ago)...and they finally killed all the porn bot posts on the forums.

Whats going on with this game? I was at Gamestop and saw it on their preorder list but when I tried to put five bucks down they said it wasn't even actually listed in their computer anymore. Is this still coming out?

I don't think it will come out on 5/5, just because it takes Valcon forever to release a game. They're a very small company, though, and they do good work, so I can wait. If you check their forums Colin, one of the guys who works at Valcon, posts updates from time to time. It is coming, that's for sure.

As for Gamestop, I ran in to the same thing. I asked about it and the employee said he had placed a pre-order the day before, but when he checked it had been removed from the system...so I just ordered it from Amazon.

I was at my local GF and they said they are getting it in next month in May. Not sure what is happening with this anymore.

I think Valcon's site updated the release date to 5/19...but I still bet it will take a few months longer than that.

Online co-op?

I know there's a Boss Rush Mode, it must be extremely exciting to have a Boos Rush mode on RF1, the bosses are so fantastically enormous!, but listen to me I sound like a little high school chick!

I was getting excited, but Amazon finally officially moved back the release date to May 20. :confused:

I wandered into EB Games today on my lunch break and plunked down $5 to preorder this in Canada:

From their information the release date is May 6, 2009 (tomorrow!) and it was priced at $19.99 (Canadian $).

Put it this way, I'm not holding my breath, but if I have this game by the end of the week there will be happiness.

It appears that the game is out now. It also seems that the leaderboards in the US version are indeed not linked to the ones for the Japanese version.
