The vertical shmup RXN: Raijin is receiving a physical release on the Nintendo Switch; pre-orders open Aug.30th.
The only available version is on eShop. It has been in the $40 range since launch, so this is an attractive package for those who aren't willing to drop so much money on something they can't sell back. You can either opt for the normal edition at $39.99 or the Limited Edition (3,000 made) for $49.99 (includes a steelbook, manual, slipcover, and artbook).
So... what's so special?
A few things: RXN is a modern shmup that is also launching on the EXA-Arcadia hardware. It's 16:9 aspect ratio whereas many, many shmups were 4:3. All presented in high-definition.
The developer, Gulti Co LTD, has developed several other well-loved shmups in the genre such as Raiden Fighters Aces, Triggerheart Exelica, and Thunder Force VI. They have the pedigree.
