yeah, Raiden II 2000 is almost certainly on this hardware, I assume it's just like the Raiden 2 'New' version on the platform, but without the butchered stage order, however I'll be it still has the butchered audio.
Seibu just used it as a cheap way to put out games where there was still a high level of demand. As a game Raiden II obviously stands the test of time well, as does Zero Team, for a 1993 release it easily holds its own against the much later Capcom titles etc.
The market was already flooded with Cup Soccer boards (even bootlegs of it) so I doubt there was really much demand for that, there rarely is demand for old football games.
