A successful resurrection of the iconic retro franchise, that wallows in justifiable nostalgia but still tries to keep at least one foot in the present.
Richard writes: "The R-Type series recently reached the ripe old age of 35 years. In gaming terms, it is one of the old boys now, but this didn’t stop R-Type Final 2 coming out to strong reviews back in 2021. And the post-release has been consistent also. In fact, today even has two new sets of DLC for R-Type Final 2 on Xbox and PlayStation. But don’t worry, you don’t need to purchase both of them."
After nearly 20 years, R-Type Final 2 is back and it brings along with it some stellar visuals and great action gameplay. This is the first R-Type title to release outside Japan since 2009, so this is a big deal for western gamers and fans of horizontal shooters. Check out Jason Capp's review for more.
R-Type Final 2's DLC Set 4 was released only recently and the final boss has already been censored in the United States and Europe.
Lol yeh I can see the resemblance. They love their phallic imagery in 'ol Nihon. Reminds me of the crestworms in Fate/Zero.
Anime is different tho, most already know it can be pretty perverted and mostly not for kids.
Yet it seems tons of the characters who have suggestive things happen to them in Anime, ARE kids.
"Hey kids! Don't read or look at this story with suggestive content with kids/teens in it! Don't watch this show about the weird chick with huge boobs who is probably barely 16, teaching a man who was trapped in stone 2,00 years ago how to love thru giggles at mealtime and sudden bathing scene encounters with nudity that most normal people would never experience in a lifetime UNLESS they were creepy or in downright inappropriate situations in general!"
"Look away!"
Yeah, that advisory that it's not for kids TOTALLY works.

Or maybe the prblem is with people that immediately see a big purple penis alien....
with RType making a return... maybe Konami will get off their ass and resurrect Gradius?
Been playing this for a few days now, its great. As good as Final 1 not quite in my opinion but fantastic to see it back:)
