"I'll admit it - before Dimensions, I had never finished either of the first two R-Types. This edition however gives the player the option of unlimited continues without making the game feel hollow. The challenge in this mode is to die as few times as possible. At the end of each stage, there's a screen that wracks up the number of times your ship's gone kapow. At the end of the game, your total is compared to those of others on the Leaderboards. Very cool."
"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.
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.
Yeah, I'll probably be picking up this one at some point. No rush though.
