    2D mode looks awesome and old school.

    3D looks pretty terrible and pointless.

    I thought R-Type was done, wasn't Final supposed to be the last game?

    It looks like a pretty decent remake, but I've got the originals on my ol' arcade machine so I might give this one a pass.

    I think it's kind of a cool idea for anyone that hasn't had a chance to play those games. Since they botched the emulation on the PS3 download version of R-Type Complete, I might pick this up.

    Sweet!!!! My only question is WHEN?

    I have very fond memories of the original in the arcade - I can't tell you how many quarters that game pried from my grasp. This is so bought'd once it comes out!

    Bought, I love how both old- and new-school shooters keep hitting the Arcade.

    How is R-Type 2? Just wondering since I bought the TG-16 R-Type on the VC and wasn't particularly impressed.
