During the Xbox Tokyo Game Show livestream, Granzella announced a new platform for R-Type Final 2, Xbox Series X.
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.
Or maybe the prblem is with people that immediately see a big purple penis alien....
Final on PS2 is such a good game and I know Irem pretty much gave up on the franchise but I am so glad there are dedicated shmup fans keeping it alive.
