Tozai Games releases 'R-Type Dimensions EX' for Nintendo Switch and PC.
"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
Coin-op classics R-Type and R-Type II come together as R-Type Dimensions EX, with original 2D and new, fully-enhanced 3D graphics.
Man I'm tempted! This is the only game I will buy a joySTICK for. I used to love seeing if I can beat it with just putting one set of quarters in (it cost 50 c) back them for a turn.
"Over the past couple years, Nintendo's hybrid console has amassed a wealth of shoot 'em ups so here are the best ones so far." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Loved R Type back in the day
I recently got this on the 360 and it plays okay. that isometric view can be a bit tricky to get used to but its cool.
Beat both yesterday. I turned the graphics mode to retro 2.0. Made it look like a Saturn/PS1 game which is awesome.
Fun game. Just wish it had the same music as Super R-Type. Felt weird playing a familiar game with an almost entirely different soundtrack.
