Raiden NOVA treated to expanded soundtrack update
Twin-stick shooter Raiden NOVA marks a significant departure from the traditional mechanics that defined the series since its inception. In a departure from vertical-scrolling, players navigate the ship with the left analog stick and aim projectiles with the right analog stick to dodge and counter attacks from all directions.

Developer MOSS has released the Ver. 1.1.0 Update, adding 40 music tracks from Raiden I~V. This variety of music pays homage to the series' rich history, first launched in 1990. Playable aircraft from prior series installments include the original Raiden, Raiden Mk-II, and Fighting Thunder ME-02. Original music is composed by steelplus, Makoto Shozu, and Takeshi Iwasaki.

Published by UFO Interactive in October of last year, Raiden NOVA is available for PS4 and PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Windows through Steam. The Original Soundtrack on compact disc is included in the limited edition physical release, available through distributors CDJapan and Play-Asia.


From the Nintendo product page:
The legendary vertical scrolling shooter "Raiden" is reborn as a thrilling twin-stick 2D shooter! Freely aim and shoot with dual sticks, dodging bullets from every direction. Level up to unlock a variety of weapons and enhancements, and upgrade your ship to fight your way through epic battles.
