Forums - Microsoft - What is R-Type game?

"Australia's Office of Film and Literature has stealthily confirmed a new R-Type game coming to the Xbox 360. Dubbed R-Type Dimensions, it's in development under Lode Runner team Tozai. No other information about the game is forthcoming, but I'm sure all the thumbs of all the shmup fans out there have twiched at this news"

I would be excited to if I knew what R-Type game is.

R-Type is a SHMUP. Here's pics from the last canon R-Type game, R-Type Final.

It was supposed to be at the time. The developer probably thought better of it though, as R-Type can now have new life over downloadable services like Xbox Live, PSN and WiiWare and make more money that way too.

The last "to be made by IREM", who do not seem to be involved with this new version.

Good. The world needs more Shoot 'em Ups (I hate "shmups").



Wow, I had this game (I presume it was the original) on the Master System. Havn't seen or heard anything about it in years. I didn't know they'd made more of them.



Nice, XBLA needs more shoot 'em ups. I'd really love to see some cute 'em ups hit the service.
