Moss delays Raiden IV until October

By Spencer . August 26, 2008 . 9:48am

Don’t expect to pick up Raiden IV on September 11. The new release date is October 2 for Japan. Moss posted an apology on the official Raiden IV blog explaining the game will be held back 21 days to further increase the quality of the Xbox 360 port. The home version has new stages like this one shown in the following clip.

Since the game is nearly complete a list of achivements is floating around. You get Gamerscore points by beating bosses, clearing the game, and completing missions. Grab 1-up items in stage 4 to earn 10 Gamerscore points. Blow up the tanks in level five to get 10 more. The achievement points are distributed progressively and seem to be more balanced than Triggerheart Exelica's reward system.

It's a shame, but at least it spreads out September's purchases! Also, glad to see Otomedius G is still on track for the 25th September :)

Any word yet on if this or Otomedius G are coming to the US?

@Daizyujin - UFO Interactive said they were bringing over Raiden IV before it was even announced in Japan so I guess that's a yes, but they haven't said anything else about it since. I asked someone from Konami regarding Otomedius G a while ago and was told they haven't heard any plans about it.
