The only new addition so far seems to be an offline 2-payer mode, but I assume the game was rebalanced to account for this. The original Xbone release is a good but not great shmup. If you don't own the original and have a PS4, I'd say this will be worth buying.

The Raiden games have been garbage since Raiden III

It is curreny available for preorder at $39.99 on Amazon.
It includes the CD soundtrack, so that is a plus.
It might drop to 31.99, with Prime once it is released, so I'll wait to see if that happens.

They should just package Raiden 1-5 for 39.99.

I'm down. Haven't gotten for Xboner yet 'cause I was hoping for something like this to happen or to wait for a super cheap sale. The videos of the game didn't get me going. I managed to get overkill on PS3 when it was like 3 bucks. I dunno what's the deal with the disdain with the rest of the series. All Raidens are good, including Viper Phase 1 and the Fighters series. 3 was meh, 4 was a bit better, Overkill was a bit better than the last, so I'm hoping V is better than the last and in turn this update to be even better than V. I think moss is growing, slowly but surely.

Very excited about this especially since I no longer own an xbox one. sr20det510, the game should have the prime discount applied to it now. I preordered it just yesterday and it rung up 31.99 for me.

As soon as they stopped having that incredible music and super gritty art style they lost their identity and it became pretty pointless. The series died after Raiden DX.

Viper Phase 1 kicks ass! The Raiden Fighters series is fun to play but I really prefer Raiden II.

VP1 is the best looking game of that era.

It's my favorite shooter.

Got this yesterday at a local shop. Was feeling a bit underwhelmed at first playtroughs but its starting to grow on me. Have a few questions in case any of you might know...
Is route selection based on score/performance?
Was there any way on the Xbox version to turn off all the subtitles text overlaid on the screen top?
Whats up with the "Cheer connect"? i don´t get it... Contrary to Caladrius Blaze the retail version of Raiden V (Asia) doesn't include any manual, it comes with a cd soundtrack...would rather have the manual myself.
A normal 1cc run seems to be pretty long since there are a tons of stages and some take a while to get trough.
Are there any unlockables like extra ships or arcade mode?

How did I miss this? It looks like it's coming to PC via GOG and Steam as well. Now I'm glad I haven't bought the Xbox One import. Especially since it's a physical release.

Had this when I still had my XB1. It was okay but does not compare to the others in the series.

I have the Japan-only disc version for Xbox One. It's okay, but I can't really get into this shooter. I wish the characters would shut up.
