R-Type III & Super R-Type Collector's Edition

Introduction

For fans of the side-scrolling shoot 'em up (shmup) genre, few names command as much respect as R-Type. The R-Type III & Super R-Type Collector's Edition is a premium physical release that serves as both a nostalgic trip and a definitive tribute to the series' history on 16-bit hardware.
