    R-Types Rated For PlayStation Network Re-release. You're certainly not going to be lacking in the various ways to play R-Type soon, as the ESRB has rated R-Types (again) for the PlayStation 3 and PSP, meaning that a PlayStation Store release is likely, if not imminent. The PS One "classic" was originally released by Irem in 1999, collecting both R-Type and R-Type II, a pair of extremely challenging arcade side-scrolling shmups. More please! *cough* Thunder Force V *cough*

    Shoot The Very Small Core

    　We. Want. These. Next February, Japanese toy maker Yujin is releasing a "Shooting Game History" capsule toy collection that includes the R-9A Arrow Head from R-Type, the 0F-1 Daedalus from Image Fight, the Vic Viper T301 from Gradius, the Metarion from Gradius 2 and the Silver Hawk from Darius Gaiden. Yujin, you had me at R-Type! For those that don't live in Japan (sorry), know that National Console Support is selling complete sets for US $45. But, really, can you put a price on miniature Gradius toys? Survey says "no." More »

    R-Type Tactics Coming Stateside?

    According to a historically reliable NeoGAF member, one who has access to Gamestop's list of upcoming software releases, Irem's R-Type Tactics is coming to North America courtesy of publisher Atlus. Rebranded R-Type Command, the game is said to be scheduled for a March 4, 2008 release date at an MSRP of $39.99. The game eschews the lightning fast reflexes needed to avoid enemy fire from Bido adversaries, instead offering up turn-based, hex-based strategic gameplay. You won't control just one ship, but a fleet of space craft. More »

    R-Type Tactics... R-Type. Tactics.

    Looks like Irem wasn't kidding when it titled R-Type Final, the supposed final shoot 'em up in the long running, hard-as-hell sidescrolling series. Yes, details are scarce, but from what we can gather by these awful, awful scans from the latest Famitsu, R-Type is ditching twitch gameplay for a more chin-rubbingly strategic bent. Hex-based, turn-based and awesome-based, R-Type Tactics looks like a crazy cross-genre shooter that's just crazy enough to work. More »
