Raiden III x MIKADO MANIAX

There are in total 7 levels, the first three set on Earth and the last four in space.

This is a vertically scrolling shoot 'em-up which (as many other vertically scrolling shooters do) offers the option to either play the game in "yoko" or "tate" screen flipping modes depending on whether your tv is placed on its side or not.

Technique In arcades, it was the first game to use the "Taito Type X arcade system"-board.

It implements a 3D scrolling system permitting the scenery to move in three dimensions: climbing, descending, vertically moving.

Weapons Main weapons ◦ Yellow Vulcan Shot Spread weapon - shoots streams of 2/4 projectiles in 3/5/7 directions. ◦ Green Proton Laser Replaces the characteristic "toothpaste" plasma laser of the Raiden series. ◦ Blue Laser (new to the series) A continuous forward-facing blue laser, lateral ship movement makes it swerve slightly.

Secondary Weapons ◦ Nuclear Missile ("M" power-up) Dumb-fire missiles that spread out laterally then accelerate forward.

In addition to direct hits, the explosions cause damage as well. ◦ Homing Missile ("H" power-up) Homing missiles that target the closest enemy around the player; weak damage, but it protects the ship on its flanks. ◦ Radar Missile ("R" power-up) A partially guided missile; the missiles drift laterally until they align with enemies and charge forward.

The radar missiles' explosions cause damage as well.

Smart bomb A ball of flame spreads out around the ship.

The bomb stock can be increased with bomb power-ups ("B" on a spinning triangle).

The ship can carry up to 7 bombs.

Raiden III x MIKADO MANIAX for Nintendo Switch is currently worth €40.23 loose, and €40.15 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Raiden III x MIKADO MANIAX has only a handful of tracked market sales, suggesting relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Switch titles.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. These are tracked as separate market values because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
