Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for October 13th, 2021. In todays article, we have the usual Wednesday news item to check out before we head into a trio of reviews. Not as long as yesterdays reviews, I promise. Some actual Mini-Views this time.

Other games part of Steam's top April 2021 releases include remasters of Saga Frontier and Total War: Rome.

Way back in 1987, R-Type appeared on the bullet-hell shoot-em-up scene and promptly blew everything else out of the water. Since then it’s got bigger but not necessarily better, becoming more bloated and seemingly moving away from the pure roots of its ancestor. Well, fast forward to 2019 and a Kickstarter campaign was launched in order to produce the latest and hopefully greatest in the R-Type series. The game in question is R-Type Final 2 and so I guess the question that needs answering is...

Have you played any good shoot-’em-ups lately? If the answer to that is yes, I would be willing to bet it wasn’t made recently. The shooter genre has become so much of a relic that the term ‘shooter’ barely applies anymore. What was once a catch-all term for the hundreds of games based on moving a vehicle or character in 2D space and shooting enemies has now become the catch-all term for any 3D game that has shooting a gun as the main mechanic, usually with a protagonist in third or fir...

April 30, 2021 NIS America Inc. this week released R-Type Final 2 to Sony Corp.’s PlayStation 4, Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Co., Ltd.’s Nintendo Switch, and the PC. R-Type Final 2 includes 3D graphics, modernized gameplay, performance-based difficulty, and new and classic stages. The final game includes ship and pilot customization. It sells at $49.99.

Good Bydo for now.  30 April 2021 Enjoyably traditional, if a little tatty in places, this is a shooting game that still stands apart from all others. The name is dumb, of course, but Ill take it. Thanks to a certain long-running JRPG series the word Final has lost most of its meaning around these parts, but when R-Type took it on as a suffix back in 2003 it really meant it. R-Type Final was intended as a grand farewell to a genre seen...

R-Type is back! It is perhaps not the best R-Type, but it is certainly R-Type. Really nice to be playing a brand new entry in this classic series, and one that seems to have been a serious passion project at that. However, I would be remiss in my duties if I failed to mention that this Switch version is quite rough. The framerate bounces up and down depending on what’s happening on-screen, and the load times are significant, even between deaths. Those are two things you really don’t want ...
