Warm up those winter fingers

NIS America a release date for the western localization of flashy shmup revisit Raiden IV x MIKADO Remix — The highly adrenalized blaster will launch in North America on January 31, 2023, with Europe to follඣow a couple of days later on February 3.

As previously reported, Raiden IV x MIKADO Remix is a remaster of the classic 2007 arcade blaster Raiden IV. The new edition has been bolstered with a huge variety of new features including two-player couch co-op, a selection of filters and orientation options,🍌 and a full suite of modes including Arcade, Practice, Boss Rush, and Overkill modes. The centerpiece of the remaster is a fully remixed and re-recorded score, composed and performed by artists from the Game Center Mikado c🌊ollective.

Already available on Nintendo Switch, the new port will arrive on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox platforms, and is the first in what is expected to be a full range of “x MIKADO” titles, that will revitalize arcade classics with opulent, beautifully composed scores from some of Japan’s most talented gaming composers. Given the long-held love affair between shmups and frenetic, pulse-pounding beats, starting out with the legendary Raiden IV was certainly something of a no-brainer.

Raiden IV x MIKADO Remix launches in the west on PC an☂d consoles January 31.
