Fear not, dear readers, as Radiant Silvergun is now finally available on the Switch, and boy, does it feel right at home on this system. Out of the reach of most gamers, this game continued to have great word of mouth for the last. It has always been a tough game to acquire and experience in legitimate ways. Even today a copy for the Saturn could fetch between 150 200. ![]() It basically became the holy grail of any Saturn collector, almost in the way that owning a copy of Ikaruga is almost mandatory for a hardcore Dreamcast (or GameCube) fan. While not the best game in the genre, Radiant Silvergun was still a damn impressive game for its time, especially considering the terrible hardware it was developed for. ![]() Back in the late 90s, the Sega Saturn received a little title called Radiant Silvergun, which would eventually become a borderline legendary cult classic among those into the genre and retro gaming in general.

I honestly consider that 2001 gem to be the single best bullet hell of all time. ![]() Whenever I write about a bullet hell shooter in this website, I almost always, in a nearly unconscious way, mention Ikaruga somewhere in said article.
