The game was later followed up with Paro Wars, this time based on Parodius, released in 1997 for the Playstation. It really isn't the first time a shmup series has gone the way of a turned-based strategy title, but the word still isn't out yet on how R-Type Tactics will play. We'll only know for sure on that number once Irem uploads some videos of the game in action. This is not too similar to Cosmic Wars, a SRPG based on the Gradius universe by Konami in 1989.

I understand that this is technically different, but also technically still an R-Type. I doubted Irem, personally, and I figured it wouldn't be too long until something else came along. >_______ Didn’t Irem say that they had already lowered the casket that was R-Type into the ground, performed the last rites, said a few words, and buried it?

They will probably do something like Star Fox Command. I would still prefer a good old R-Type game. Why not. They will probably do something like Star Fox Command.
