Ports and Conversions
Early porting attempts of these games to home video game consoles had been canceled.
The first porting attempt was in 1997, with the first Raiden Fighters for the Sega Saturn, developed by Victor EA of Japan. The Saturn port was canceled for an unknown reason.
In 2003, a now-defunct Japanese company, New World System, was working on ports of Raiden Fighters and Raiden Fighters 2 for the Xbox and PC under the name of Raiden Fighters Evolution. This port was canceled when New World System went out of business.
On November 21, 2007, Japanese video game magazine Famitsu reported the development of a compilation of all three Raiden Fighters games for the Xbox 360. This compilation is titled Raiden Fighters Aces, published by Japanese software company Success Corporation and released on March 27, 2008. The release of Raiden Fighters Aces brings to an end a decade-long drought for the any of the games to finally appear in the home console market.

“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“All places that the eye of heaven visits
Are to a wise man ports and happy havens.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
