Greeting owners of Silver Xbox Live accounts registered in Japan. The one week lock on the Raiden Fighters Aces demo has ended and you can download it without worrying about a digital region lock.

You can play Raiden Fighters, Raiden Fighters 2 and Raiden Fighters Jet in the demo by pressing right or left on the D-pad with a variety of different options. Mind boggling options to the casual shmup fans, but perfectionists will appreciate what Success is offering.

 Here is a list of what you can configure with the demo alone:

Game Speed: 60 FPS, 54 FPS (Blend), 54 FPS (True)

Screen Type: Default, Right-rotate, Reverse (upside down), Left-Rotate

Over scan: 720×540 to 240×180 this includes options like 320×240 dot by dot

Aspect Ratio: 4:3, 5:4

Smoothing: Nearest Neighbor, Biliner, Lanczos, Bicubic

While the game is nowhere near complete you can test out two stages of Raiden Fighters by altering the level order, Operation Hell Dive from Raiden Fighters 2, a stage in Raiden Fighters Jet and one boss from the boss rush. There is arguably more content here in this demo than Star Soldier R and the Raiden Fighters Aces demo is free!
