R-Type command one concept, one mission at a time

By Louise . May 16, 2008 . 4:26pm

One of the things I've grown to like about R-Type Command is that even though it may seem overwhelming and complex in the beginning, it gets even more complex than that. But the game doesn't inundate you with everything you…

By Spencer . May 13, 2008 . 10:13pm

About one year ago Irem announced Bumpy Trot: Vehicle Battle Tournament as a PSP game. While the title is set in the Steambot Chronicles universe it is quite different than the PlayStation 2 predecessor. Bumpy Trot: Vehicle Battle Tournament is…

Relearning R-Type, learning R-Type Command

By Louise . May 7, 2008 . 12:18pm

I'm not new to the world of SRPGs, but sadly to say, I am new to the world of hex-grid-based space SRPGs.  Wow, that's a mouthful.  All I know about R-Type was that it was a shmup, but I guess…

By Spencer . April 30, 2008 . 12:39pm

Like R-Type? Then this awesome looking R-9 figure should appeal to you. Irem, the creator of the Bydo Empire shooting series, gave Atlus a bunch of the R-9 figures pictured above. Until they run out, you will get one when…

Eye on the Bydo Empire, R-Types ready

By Spencer . April 24, 2008 . 3:29pm

Before you order R-Type Command, learn about the Dobkeratops in R-Types. The PlayStation One game is a history lesson, or better explained as a bundle of R-Type I and II. Sony put R-Types on the PlayStation Store as part of…

Izuke Gensan hammering onto PSPs in the middle of May

By Spencer . April 23, 2008 . 12:11pm

I mentioned Izuke Gensan: Yuuyake Daiku Monogatari before mainly because it has a wacky vibe. One minute your whacking (innocent?) construction workers with a huge hammer. Next you’re smacking drills with a huge fish. Izuke Gensan isn’t only about the perils…

Is the Bydo Empire invading the PlayStation Network?

By Spencer . April 4, 2008 . 10:47am

While the PlayStation Store undergoes renovation we won’t see anything new for two weeks. In the meantime we can speculate unannounced PlayStation Classics like R-Types. The ESRB just rated R-Types as a PlayStation 3 and PSP game and I doubt Sony…

Watch – Hammering with Harry, Ikuze Gensan gameplay

By Spencer . March 27, 2008 . 12:54am

I remember playing Hammering Harry when I was a kid, but the memory imprint was not deep enough to make an instant connection between the Game Boy game and Ikuze Gensan. Thanks for the reference Insert Credit!   Whether you’re familiar…

Spelunker sitting in the North American Virtual Console cave?

By Spencer . February 15, 2008 . 9:22pm

Speaking of the ESRB, Spelunker is on there, listed as a Nintendo Wii game. I’m fairly certain this is for a 1980s NES game where you wander caves and dodge bat guano. After all, Splelunker appeared on Japan’s Virtual Console…

Watch – R-Type Command unveiled for North America

By Spencer . February 13, 2008 . 12:49pm

A standing retail rumor pointed to Atlus making a deal with Irem for R-Type Tactics last year. Today, Atlus officially announced R-Type Tactics under its new name, R-Type Command. Name change aside, the portable, tactical experiment with the R-Type franchise…

By Spencer . November 15, 2007 . 10:32am

Chris Dahlberg over from Cosmos Gaming sent a tip (thanks!!) in about an unannounced PSP title from Agetec. Puzzle Guzzle is its name, but it really is just a localized version of Mawaskes, which Irem released in Japan this past…
