Irem Software Engineering announced in Japan this week that a sequel to portable strategy game R-Type Command is in the works. The wondrously-titled R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate is due out for the PSP in Japan on October 29 for 5040 yen; no US release details have been announced.
"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
Atlus picked up R-Type Command from Irem, localized it, and published the PSP title in North America. Nothing has been said about the sequel, R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate, but it appears the game is heading overseas without help from Atlus.
Now if they could just bring the R-type Home space to the West. Build on the flight mini-game and make it similar to the Sodium shooter.
Irem Software has published a new promotion movie for it's new STR on PSP, R-Type Tactics 2 Operation Bitter Chocolate.
The game will be released on october 29 in Japan.
I can't even venture a guess....
