North America saw very little in the way of shoot-em-up games for the Playstation 2. Only seven titles were ever released, making it seem as if the end was nigh for the shmup as a whole. In 2007, after the launch of all "next gen" systems, and a seeming second chance for shooters on the Xbox 360 in Japan, Raiden III was made available in North America for the PS2... but was it too little too late?
