Raiden Fighters Remix Collection: MOSS will finally add a real 54 FPS mode to correct arcade speed
There are annoying bugs, and there are bugs that get to the very heart of a shoot’em up: its timing. This is precisely what happened to Raiden Fighters Remix Collection. Released earlier this year, the compilation was heavily criticized because it ran at 60 FPS instead of the boundary 54 FPS original, which speeded up the game by around 10%.
⚠️ A technical detail that changes everything
On paper, six more frames per second, is nothing. In practice, for a shmup where trajectories, dodges, and scoring routes rely on muscle memory, this is huge. Several players felt that this speed made certain sections much more difficult, or even completely broke the arcade feel. expected.
🛠️ Patch 1: 54 FPS mode coming end of May
MOSS has now confirmed a first patch for end of May 2026. This will add an optional 54 FPS mode as well as some bug fixes. The current 60 FPS mode will remain available, but both will share the same online ranking, a choice that may still be debated among purists.
🎯 Good news, but also a reminder
< p>This update is a win for players, but it also reminds a simple truth: in retrogaming, technical correctness is sometimes more important than marketing bonuses. For an arcade build, fidelity is not just measured in resolution or filters, but also in rhythm, speed, and controller feel.Sources: MOSS - Game*Spark - Time Extension
