Whether or not R-Type Dimensions is the game for you depends on your budget, your gaming tastes and your sense of nostalgia. If you fondly remember the R-Types of old and have been itching to feel that sense of intense difficulty again on your console, then you'd be crazy not to download this one. But if you're not a fan of the genre or prefer the fast-paced vertical shooters like Ikaruga, you might be disappointed with R-Type Dimensions' style. But one thing's for sure. If developers are going to remake a classic arcade game, this is the approach to take.

"When you think of classic shoot 'em ups, the top 2 series that likely come to mind are Gradius and R-Type so let's take an in-depth look at both franchises and see which one comes out on top." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
The September-announced R-Type Dimensions EX will launch for Switch via the Nintendo eShop and PC via Steam on November 28, developer Tozai Games announced. Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page: About The coin-op classics, R-Type and R-Type II, are together on Steam!
aright, no real version then. switch is not an option for gamers and pc.. nah. it is no fun playing such ancient games on a pc. remastered or not. so i guess a big chance to cash in was lost here.
A lot of PC players play old games, I play them regularly. Actually, there are more remastered old games on PC than PS4 and XBox One combined. And they sell a lot more too. Heck, even those new "retro" games are released almost always first on PC and then MAYBE on PS4 and XBox 1. For example, Minecraft was released years later on consoles (graphically Minecraft is retro), after it was popular on PC.
Rtype still is amazing, a timeless classic. Have the originals and Rtype Leo on my arcade cab.
Tozai Games today announced that R-Type Dimensions will be launching worldwide on Nintendo Switch and PC in late 2018.
Yes. I used to play Super R-Type all the time. Mostly due to the music but it was also fun. Hopefully this game will have a similar vibe.
If they lower the price I'm all in
