R-type series will always be one of my favorite shooters. it's not focused on collecting medals or other gimmicks to improve score. it just cares about presenting crazy balls to the wall shooting, and I love it for that.
R-Type III is Irem's redemption for Super R-Type. The game has great graphics and sound, with hard, but balanced, gameplay and lots of cool ideas. And, most importantly, the game runs very nicely on the SNES with hardly any slow-downs at all. It's one of the system's top titles.
lol as a kid I couldnt even beat the first level, however even back then I had an appreciation for the sophisticated scaling and mode 7 effects being used in this game, and the really cool soundtrack (which of course I only ever heard level 1!)
The 4th level in this game suffers with some serious artificial difficulty that it's impossible to react to stuff you don't know that's coming, plus that going backwards shit doesn't half flip your tactics on it's head especially with the level of difficulty the level has. Also fuck that 4th boss, the let's player makes it look like a walk in the park but when you've got half powered up force from dying all the time that boss is super difficult with all the dangerous shit going off.
My favorite part... in the intro, that rotating background element. From a technical standpoint, it's mindblowing. The developers were all but taunting other games with that thing: "You remember Star Fox? Well we can do 3-D rotating polygons too! And ours have textures! ANIMATED TEXTURES! HA!"
@@iwanttocomplain This game has hardly any slowdown at all, it was optimized far better than it's predecessor (the arcade R-Types tended to slow down as well), it was also a later release than it's predecessor.
Slowdown king? WTF, the game has practically no Slowdown. I think you confused it with the 1 R-Type or are you a Genesis fanboy. By the way, the much acclaimed Thuderforce IV has much more Slowdown than this game.
the most intense cliffhanger of the entire shooting history also the morale is when you're fighting elder god, you must shoot force into its gluttonous mouth
What's different in the second playthrough? Is it just a slight variation in the designs of the bosses that appear in the almost boss-run section in the middle of the game?
The game may have glitched up. When you beat it the first time, it starts you over, but on Advanced mode. Then when you've completed advanced mode have you fully beaten the game.
@ncf209rulz which button is on ur keyboard the R-Button of the snes controller? because this is the button to select the hyper mode. =D But its better if u play snes games with a controller because u dont need really to memorize any button of the keyboard. =3 i think today cost a pc gamepad only 15 til 20 bucks. =/ but i want give u only a tip for emulator games . ;)
A minor footnote to add that no one noticed,... If I remember right, I think the drops of acid of stage 2 were red and more blood-like in the "advanced mode" loop of the release that went to America. ;)
how are they censored? I have the snes (PAL)& TGrfx-16 (NTSC-J) & have just bought the Super Famicom version , (have not looked at the famicom one yet cos its in the post) it would be handy to know what to look out for, thanks
This game used to drive me crazy, ages gaining power then a particle touches you and your ship burns up like a tissue that's been dumped in a volcano. Crazy hahaha
R-Type Dimensions is awesome, we can now own R-Type 1 and 2 on modern consoles. My wish is for R-Type Dimensions 2 with R-Type 3 and Leo released for PS 4 and Xbone.
Practice, get better, you don't need a rewind feature as that takes the fun out of learning a tough game. The feeling of beating a hard game honestly is like no other feeling of accomplishment out there.
How so, this is generally considered one of the best games of the series. In my eyes Final was the weakest of the series, this one here is one of the strongest ones, and it pushed the SNES nicely. I do happen to own the entire series (other than Leo, though that did receive a port on an Irem PC compilation) in one form of another (R-Types PS1 covering 1 and 2 arcade, R-Type DX GBC, Super R-Type SNES, this one here on SNES, R-Type TG16 via Wii VC, Delta via PSN, R-Type SMS, and Final on PS2).This one's great
Isso é tas ou cheat de invensibilidade ?? , porque reparem no momento 39:45 da pra ver o ácido verde atingindo a nave e era pra ter perdido uma vida , é só colocar nesse momento em câmera lenta o vídeo que vocês iram ver !!!
oh yeah oh yeah this game takes me back when my older brothers where playing this game on the emulator.But instead of the oversea version we played the japanese version because in stage 2 inside the acid creature world the boss shoots out sperm semen the stuff that comes from mens and you see in this video but in the oversea they shoot out eyeballs instead possibly due to nintendo's 90's censorship. Because Nintendo of america sure censored alot of games on the super nes WOW. but anyway when my brother was fighting the stage 2 boss my brother tell me that the boss was shooting out baby eggs and I said weird but me and my brothers have no idea this is the actual uncensored japanese version we where playing but the ending was oddly in english in the japanese version like what I'm watching in this video but we didn't care otherwise we enjoy this game r-type 3 for the super nes and I'm surprised that r-type 3 was also ported to the game boy advance.But on the other hand this was my first r-type game on the emulated super nes and it was my childhood so thank you for uploading this video thank you YEAH.
sooooooo... im playing a real copy of r-type III the japanese version on an american SNES, as soon as i killed the final boss, i was just flying in space for infinity, is that normal? anyone wanna help me out here? i just played this game for 8 hours non-stop and i was hoping for an ending...
