LOL! Nah pimpin, Raiden and other shooters like Aleste and Gradius/Life Force aren't new nor are they Japanese fanboy shit. You never played any of these games in the arcade or on the 16 bit systems?
thats funny,i remember playing raiden games in arcades in the UNITED STATES when i was a kid. classic franchise. dont try to talk shit just because you dont know what the fuck it is. raiden was around 10 years before MK and will be around 10 years after MK dies
