The R-Type series from Irem has got to be the best horizontal scrolling shooters of all time. If I counted up all the quarters I put into the original arcade, I might be able to buy a new car! I used to sneak out of the house at about 3 o'clock in the morning, and trek a mile to the 7-11 and play for hours. After some time, my quarters would last much longer. When they added R-Type II, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! My quarters, unfortunately, dwindled quickly. Luckily for me, there was a nearby truck stop and I could make many quarters in a short time. I brushed my teeth a lot back then...
It's one of my least favorites, but it is undeniably a gem of a series, and I'm saddened that instead of games like these, we just get crappy bullet hells nowadays.
I love the music direction and how it kinda gets darker the further you make it. Great play through, nice quick kills on the bosses, especially stage 4. I hate stage 4 and the boss, but I’m gonna use this video for reference when I start practicing this game
Damn this game looks insane!!!..(I was an avid player of the original Super Rtype when I had the console back in the dayz!)...Damm good game!! THE GRAPHICS & GAMEPLAY kept me watching& on the edge.of my seat lol!!.. So this was really on the super Nintendo aswell?!?

Huh I've noticed slight differences between the NTSC and Japan versions such as the goo jellies that boss 2 shoots looks a lot like sperm, thus its red and has a brain-like texture, a boss theme is missing and the cellular morph boss has different colorations of each form.
One thing that drives me crazy about this series is the lack of an option to slow your ship down. It goes from being way too slow to uncontrollable if you are not really careful.
Been watching all the r-type games before III and I gotta say I love III the best as it's the most darkest of the bunch. Instead of funky beats we got some hard hitting riffs and honestly the sound and boss designs are the darkest I've seen so far. Also the ending where you desperately gotta escape, it feels more tense.
Stage 4 took a lot of repetitions to get fluent at and the boss required good concentration too. Since it's been a long time since I've played this game I wouldn't want to have to relearn it. I made it to the boss rush of stage 5 regularly but was stymied there.
6:06 How the hell is that boss being done? It's almost certainly Mode 7 because of all the rotation and scaling, but there seems to be a lot of animation frames there, and I didn't think Mode 7 could really do that amount of animation frames? I'm also not sure how it can be broken up from one big background into many parts to create the animation yet still rotate and scale and even separate into 3 parts at one point without the rest of the background showing all the frames being visible?
Probably just mode 7 with the stars in the "background" being simple scrolling sprites. Shots from the beginnign of the boss also sprites with multiple scaling and not zoom. But just my guess, since mode 7 is background only, but the dev were clever :)
Now that I think about it, I've never seen anyone use the Cyclone Force before, most LPs of this use the Standard Force, though I watched one today that used the Shadow Force (objectively the best one, fight me)
boss design on the R-type series always weirded me out. they're not scary... but sexually suggestive? like, Gommander, the.. flesh put with the worm going in and out. eh... the Eye wall firing sperm'y thingies. idk man too many dots make a line. R-type final even have two people making-out in the final stage background. its just odd.
i never seen the end credits when i first bought this game. wonder why they didn't put in end or staff credits? i get it now. it's in different region. in usa it's different bc 2nd boss instead of shooting out sperms it's shooting out eyeballs instead.

A trilha sonora desse jogo é coisa de outro mundo.
So happy to have an original, physical copy of this game! Hard as hell, though (to play AND to find)! :)

The "block" level is dope. Just rows of blocks that morph into monsters trying to kill you with evil music to boot
Love the level designs in this game.
Great run! This game is absolute gold! Still one of my favourite!
I love how 1 of the forms of the level 5 boss is a miniboss.
The 4th Boss is so badass when you kill it the background falls away fuckin awesome

Yes this was on SNES as well. It commands a much higher price than Super R Type, but it’s so much better.
So glad I purchased this GREAT video game 🎮 🕹 new in box.
The first level is great, but its TOO LONG. They couldve saved some of the FX for later.
omg I forgot how awesome the soundtrack of this game is
Oh my god even in the original compared to in Final , the Cyclone Force is so BUSTED.
Man, whenever I see R-Type 3, I'm so pissed of that I only got Super R-type as a kid which was total shit compared to 3.
R-Type 3 rules.
yes it is far superior
@@Video-Games-Are-Fun How?
@@reversalmushroom Abysmal slowdown and no mid level checkpoints were the big criticisms against it.

Imo if it wasn't for my cousin having Super Rtype I wouldn't have gotten into the series at all
31:30 show off :P . took me forever to figure that part out hehe

Cause Nintendo of America think that goo jellies are really sperms. So NOA ask at Irem to edit this enemy in order to not make sexual references.
That Bydo empire is a never-ending nightmare

WoW your very Good at this!!
This game is riddic!
Jesus christ! R type isnt a side scrolling shootem up series. Its a lovecraftian horror series!
The mountain mass vagina with barnacles coming out of it, boss sure takes a long time to kill in hard mode...
I've never beaten the second part of Stage 4, where you're going in reverse. you made that look easy

二周目以降の二面の赤の肉片みたいなやつも嫌だが黒も嫌だな。あと、ここのボス一周目でも簡単でないはずなのによく倒すし精子か卵子かわからないがよくかわす。あと、サイクロンフォースの場合黄色か青で行くでしょう。黄色が一番強く青が二番目が強い。さらに青のレーザーはその当たった場所の近くまたはちょっと離れた敵も倒せる(注:Wikipedia調べ)のも大きい。赤が一番弱い。もしかすると二周目の4面のボスは黄色でいきたかったのでは?
Excellent shmup for the SNES, but I never liked the choice of colours
Muita nostalgia.
Jaleco(worldwide) now release city connection
Irem created, Jaleco picked up distribution for outside of Japan.
From factor 5 The creators of rogue squadron
This is from Irem, not Factor 5.
Factor5 were not involved with the making of R-Type3 shape or form.
Could have been interesting though
BUEN VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!
Nice.
1:40 thats a cool enemy

Cringe jajaja
Some coders can use mode 7 with additional backgrounds Ive heard
13:03 These assholes act like zubs from the Gradius series.

Good game

Ahah, yeah that one stage you're basically swimming up the nut sack.

Quase impossível zerar esse jogo. Tô preso na parte das máquinas ali. Muito difícil
Looks like a much worse game than the original ...
