Good news...looking forward to it. Why wouldn't it have co-op tho? This isn't Blazeon on the snes...lol

Then I guess you haven't played enough R-Type before. It will be the first in the series to feature a co-op mode (at least 2 players on the same screen), especially for the games that will be in the package (seems like R-Type 1 and 2 is in there). I wonder if there's going to be another extra story mode or something, or it's just a remake of the old games in 3D graphics. Still good enough in my opinion! =P

 

 I missed te ps2 one. I played original rtype on my sega master system and Super Rtype on snes...those were single player. i was always more of a gradius fan and Gradius V had 2 player action so I figured the PS2 version of Rtype did as well.

Nah, I guess Irem didn't want to focus on 2 player co-op during the 16-bit era, and besides, R-Type Final wouldn't be good with 2-players on screen. The game was already too slow as it is, no enemies would even appear on screen! Maybe it was too demanding CPU-wise and stuff during the 16-bit era anyway. And yeah, I can't wait for Gradius Generations on WiiWare. No release date announced here though. :/

Actually, scratch that. R-Type Leo had 2-players on screen... But it was an arcade exclusive so it doesn't really count here. >_>
