Port-specific features[]
- The opening animation is a 3D rendering of the player's ship taking on the first stage boss.
- The Raiden Project includes a Horizontal Mode. Users of widescreen format televisions / monitors can turn their sets vertical and play the game in its proper arcade aspect ratio, though doing this can damage the monitors/TV.
- The conversion includes difficulty settings, credit limits, remixed music, on screen text positioning and the ability to save high scores with a memory card.
Secrets[]
In the game's main title screen, a 3D animation loops, depicting the Raiden fighter craft attacking and destroying the first boss of Raiden II.
On rare occasions, one of two alternate 3D sequences will play[1]:
- The fighter flies right into the boss, destroying both.
- The boss shoots down the fighter, with it crashing into the ground and the boss walking off laughing.
