A voice actor recently shared his thoughts on playing the voice of Raiden in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. games for Wii U and 3DS, but he didn’t really give us any juicy details.
Voice actor Reuben Langdon had this to say about playing Raiden:
“Raiden was always a character that I had wanted to play. I did end up playing him on Super Smash Bros; so I did end up playing him eventually. Not to the extent that he is in the other games.”
It’s still very unclear whether Raiden is a playable charater or just another assists trophy, but we can all hope and dream for this cyber-ninja. Raiden’s insane speed and eccentric swordplay would make him a fantastic addition to the Super Smash Bros. roster.

Has Raiden appeared on any Nintendo games?
I honestly can’t think of a single hame with Raiden that ever made it to a Nintendo system… It would be quite odd if he did end up being a playable character, but if he’s a trophy, does that confirm Snake?
Aside from the originals on the NES, the only MGS game to appear on a Nintendo console was Twin Snakes on the Gamecube, and that was just a re-make of the PSone Metal Gear Solid. It would definitely be odd if Raiden made it to SSB.
It’d make a little more sense if he was an assist. He’s more popular than Grey Fox at this point, I would say, so he’d make a sensible replacement.
Yeah, agreed.
Yeah an assist would make way more sense, but he would be a really fun character if he was added.
YOU CAN’T PLAY BOTH FIELDS RAIDEN, GET BACK TO PLAYSTATION ALLSTARS!
YEAH! GET BACK TO THE GAME THAT’S WAY MORE POPULAR!!! Wait… I can understand why he might wanna jump ship…

Huh? Really? 😀
Thanks for sharing our post! It would be pretty rad to see Raiden in the new Smash Bros.
