It’s here!
Posted on April 15th, 2008
I got my copy of the English version of Thunder Warrior Raidy last night. (Yeah! That’s right postal service, deliver import pornography FOR AMERICA!) YES. O_o
I haven’t played it yet. Like I mentioned before, I’m not expecting the story or dialogue to be Shakespeare. Still! I’m interested in what the characters have to say(aside from the moaning) and how they’re characterized. I’m being optimistic and assuming that granted that so much work was put into their visual design a fair amount of work must have been put into their personality as well.

Thunder Warrior Raidy 3 update
Posted on March 25th, 2008
ZyX did a minor update on the upcoming Thunder Warrior Raidy 3.
Not much is known so far. From machine translation the most I can gather is that the dark elf, succubus, and werewolf from the first game will be joining Raidy this time around and the story revolves around them having to protect a town in order to help pay back a humongous bill they ran up at the town’s Inn. With extra characters on Raidy’s side I suspect they might include a party system.
It looks like they’re keeping the same artist, though it looks like he may be getting some help; the image on the top page has some of the characters done in a different style.
Unlike the first two Raidy games that were remakes, the 3rd game’s completely new. Hopefully, ZyX’s gotten a good enough feel for the Raidy games to make a decent sequel, as TWR2’s a tough game to beat.

Domestic Thunder Warrior Raidy 2 announced
Posted on March 25th, 2008
From Peach Princess:
“In addition, we’ve announced the fabulous upcoming Lightning Warrior Raidy II: ~Temple of Desire~, the incredible sequel to the first Raidy game. With around 3x the game play and characters to interact with, including all the popular bosses from the first release as well as an updated battle, inventory gold system, it’s really a title you won’t want to miss. You can preorder this fantastic game now and be first in line to get it when it ships.”

This is great news as well, though I’m not going to get too excited since I know it’s going to be a long time before it’s released. TWR2’s easily triple the size of the original and I expect the time spent on the translation and decensoring to reflect this. Who knows? Maybe the turn around time will be much shorter and we’ll be getting this mid-summer.

Thunder Warrior Raidy goes gold
Posted on March 25th, 2008
From Peach Princess:
“First and foremost, our good news today is that Lightning Warrior Raidy, the awesome 3D RPG game, has gone ‘Golden Master’ and is being duplicated right now. This is a very special game in which you play the part of Raidy, a sword-wielding warrior who must enter a dark tower and defeat the evil female monsters who reside within, and rescue the enslaved women from the local village of Sadd. It’s a really unique game, with different weapons and armor as well as potions for healing, all made even better by the fact that both Raidy and all the delicious boss monsters are female, a treat for fans of yuri themes. This game will be released soon on CD-ROM, then 2 weeks later we’ll release the Download Edition, to allow fans who preordered the package version to get their hot little hands on it first. Just $24.95!”

Here’s the CG set to the original Thunder Warrior Raidy for the PC98 system, as promised:
Thunder Warrior Raidy 1 and 2 for PC98 CG
The TWR remakes’ are pretty much identical in content, though they have different art styles and a slightly different assortment of monsters.
Here’s some screen by screen comparisons of scenes from both versions:

Thunder Warrior Raidy 2 CGs extracted
Posted on October 29th, 2007
Through powers granted to me by this glorious internet I was able to fully extract all of Thunder Warrior Raidy 2’s CG. *FF victory music plays*
But now that I have them I can’t decide what to do with them. They took quite a bit of trouble to get despite my using programs that automated parts of the process. That said, I don’t want to just throw them up as a link somewhere. I don’t want to put them in the gallery or in the forum shop either.
Actually…
Does anyone else on the internet care that I have these?
Internet, if you care and want these CGs, then please give me a sign and comment this post. If not, please say nothing and I’ll keep them to myself.
Speaking of Thunder Warrior Raidy, I still have to batch convert all of the CG I extracted from the PC98 version of Raidy 1 and 2.
Aside from that…
Don’t get me started on Monzetu Fighter! That is one awesome game that I’ll be writing a full article on in the later post.
One thing’s for sure, now that I’ve gotten back into CG extraction I’m going to try ripping CGs from a few other games too. Right now I’ve got my sights set on Anomachi no Koinouta, which was the last h-game Takehiro Kimura worked on.
Finally, I really need to get back to working on my own visual novel game, ‘Yuke, Yuke, Yukichan!’. I already started work on a few chapters and I hate to leave things unfinished.

More Thunder Warrior Raidy stuffs, plus Japanese ROM godsite
Posted on October 23rd, 2007
Honestly, I haven’t gotten this excited about a hentai series since Erogos’es games, and before that, Viper. Through diligent searching and my patented brand of Google-Fu, I managed to learn all sorts of stuff about Thunder Warrior Raidy.
For one, my earlier notions that it was originally a PC98 game were in fact correct. As a matter of fact, there were two Thunder Warrior games on the PC98; Thunder Warrior Raidy 1 and it’s sequel, Thunder Warrior Raidy 2.
Though I don’t know the artist’s name, it looks like the CG for the original Thunder Warrior Raidy was drawn by the same artist who drew the CG for Ring Out!, another infamous hentai game for the PC and PC98. Though Ring Out!’s nowhere near as cool as Raidy, it’s fairly well known on the internet amongst the hentai community since it’s one of the first hentai games to be distributed and translated domestically. Not to mention, it also features lesbian rivalries. What’s the correlation? I think either the artist liked to draw games like that, or was typecast into the role. They probably made CG for a few other hentai games on the PC98, though I haven’t seen anything that suggests they’re still making CG for hentai games today.
I searched high and low for Raidy stuffs, and came across none other than…
Wait for it…

Thunder Warrior Raidy Remake set for a domestic release!
Posted on October 21st, 2007
The super sexy super lesbian Thunder Warrior Raidy has been picked up by G-Collections for a domestic release (over the internet) and full English translation!
…It’s just too bad that I’ve already seen the full CG set for this game like 3 months ago. Here’s the CG set for the Japanese version, of which I can attest is most awesome.
Thunder Warrior Raidy Remake CG Set
Still, I can’t help but get excited about this release since if the quality of the CG and its subtitle title “Remake” tell us anything, it’s that this is a hentai game with some polish and some history behind it. Though I know next to nothing about this series, the most I can gather is that its a remake of an earlier PC9800 game(of which I was able to find a single screenshot of) and features a heroic heroine who controls lightning and engages sexy versions of classic fantasy monsters and has winner takes all lesbian sex with the bosses featuring a variety of fetishes.
Wow! O_o
Anyhow, I’ll be picking up a copy when it comes out despite already having the CG set for it. The domestic version’ll probably have all of the voices, music, and graphics completely intact, but more importantly will be uncensored and might even (hopefully) include some bonus stuffs.
Not to mention, it’s always nice to be able to play an H-game and understand just what the hell the characters are saying. I know I’ve stumbled through my fair share of import ones while only being able to pick up on a few key Japanese words and phrases like yamete, dashite kudasai, ooki chinchin, ii wa yo, asoko, omanko, irete kudasai and the like. Kudos if you know what any of those words mean.
Update that happened so fast that it was originally going to be an edit yet occurred while I was typing this up for the first time:
I found a download of the official Thunder Warrior Raidy doujinshi anthology! Score!
Here’s the download link: Thunder Warrior Raidy Doujinshi Anthology
I also found a review for the sequel of the original Windows game (the 256 color one) at Densetsu.com. That site should be ashamed of itself. They’re still using the same custom BBS system the owner threw together after a few php classes. It’s 2007, and there’s hundreds of complete, professional, and free forum systems available! But that’s for another blog entry…
As if one Thunder Warrior Raidy game wasn’t awesome enough, it looks like a second one’s set for release in March 2007, according to ZXY’s official site.
Hey! Wait! I know what you’re thinking. It’s way past March 2007 now. Why haven’t we seen this on the internets yet? I’m as stumped as you are, but will do some hardcore searching(with a nailbat and tables) to find out if anyone’s released it yet, or better yet, if it’s available for purchase or download on some obscure Japanese h-game site(aren’t they all? Don’t mention Getchu. >_>)
Pre-emptive Edit #2: I managed to find downloads for full versions of Thunder Warrior Raidy 1 for PC and Thunder Warrior Raidy 2(!!!). I rule.
Looks like Death Marine from HShare managed to get a copy of it, and put up a torrent for it. I’m going to rip the CG from the second game once I’ve got it downloaded. My only real setback is…There currently are no seeds. O_o…
